    Every particle in my body belongs to the mother nature, it is from day one and it will be forever. Please sprinkle me and I won't mind the location, because I wouldn't know about it anyway.

    Mixed in concrete, formed into a fish habitat and dumped in the ocean as part of an artificial reef. There's actually a company that does this. Great way to promote reef protection and to promote the growth of corals as well as providing shelter for the critters.
    Edit: Auntie Em asked for the link to a company that does this service. This is the one I'd seen.

    I would ask the person I trust and care for the most to take the ashes somewhere only they know of and sprinkle them there.

    I don't want them scattered. Dig a hole, drop the ashes, then plant a tree on top. When the tree is big enough attach a plaque.

    Just pour them down the toilet. It;s not like the people who will get them loved me or respected me anyway, so we might as well just pour em down the bog. It could be very symbolic, symbolising how thy life has gone down the sh*tter somewhat.

    What ashes? If I were to be cremated, I would want my body dropped into an active basaltic lava flow. Let it take care of everything.

    Keith Richards' nose lol jk but It'd definately would be an interesting prospect to know i'd be part of one of my all time guitar heroes for eternal rest just as soon as he died. That's if he ever does die (I for some reason don't see him dying in the next five years or more for obvious reasons I mean he can still rock out as good as he did in the 70's.) But to be honest if I were cremated I'd definately would want my ashes shot out into space and just maybe I could be brought back to life in an inaminate object such as a star or some other astronomical object. I don't know there's so many ideas I really can't just give you one.

    I have already paid in advance for my funeral and I will be cremated while on board a Norwegian cruise ship in the North Sea, then the executor of my estate will scatter my ashes over the same water my Viking ancestors used for their funerals.

    Why - I got a good deal - my 2 sisters will get a free 1st class trip to Northern Europe and a 5 day cruise (all for a 5 minute cerimony) - I like the ancient tradition of cremation at sea - I do not like burial.

    I would, ideally, like to have my ashes sent to my Clan in Romania.

    That is, by the way, a very real possibility if it is legally doable.

    If it is not legally doable, I would like them sent to California to be scattered on Mount Tamalpais (is near San Francisco, sort of).

    This Daley has a new bundle of joy

    My husband and I have agreed to go to the places that were special to us on sort of a "whirlwind tour" and spread a little at each place.

    For me, it would be:

    -Meadowdale Marina (Edmonds, WA)
    -Off the edge of the ferry while cruising the San Juans at sunrise
    -Off the Deception Point Bridge
    -Sunnyfields Park, Hendon, London
    -Outside the British Museum (can you sneak me in to the book room and drop a smidgeon near the little bible Lady Jane carried? I go to see it everytime I am there...)
    -Montmartre (Paris)
    -Pali Lookout, Oahu
    -The fishing pier at Oceanside, CA
    -New River, NC (but down at the Sneads Ferry end at the Inlet. Please don't take me to Jacksonville!)
    -Mount Baker (or at least get me up on the logging roads up by the north fork of the Nooksack River).


    I am sure this list will grow as we live our lives. I love the idea of being in all the places I loved and if someone ever wanted to feel "close" to me, they could go visit any one of these places.

    In Winona MN, in the bluffs up behind St. Mary's College - if you climb up to the observation rock, where the old ski lift was... and continue over the top of the hill, there's a valley full of sumac. I want to be sprinkled there.

    If you can't get there, then take the inner passage cruise in Alaska and sprinkle me over the side in the wilderness.
