    Sweet, I'd be down for that.

    Oh, and in before "only pagans get cremated!!!"

    Outdoor cremations?
    We have laws against burning leaves!

    Cremations outside in Viking ships or inside in brick ovens -- count me "not a fan." On the practical side, I would guess the liability might make these cost more.
    You can burn bodies, just not leaves! Makes me wonder what would happen to cremations here during times that our commissioners vote in a burn ban??

    I'll just have to plan mine on an odd numbered day, that's when I run my sprinklers.

    I'm going to be stuffed, wearing a g-string and displayed at my alma mater (to one up those stained glass windows).

    Jeremy Bentham you ain't. And in this case, would it not be Dolorosa Mater?

    They are also talking about composting us! Think of eating a tomato knowing that :)

    Preferably I could have a tomb and ossuary, but alas it's just to humid around here.

    No, but burning human meat smells like burning beef.

    Human bodies out of calories and burning their own muscle and organs smells like a sweet sausage cooking.
