I want every last penny that I have to go to my parents so they can enjoy it!

Fine, then let them make their own plans and pay their own way-- I have better uses for what little's left of the estate.A simple service at the funeral home with your ashes front and center would probably give your friends and relatives a chance to grieve and remember your life,as said before the ceremony is for the living Its not just about you. and although no one really enjoys a funeral its comforting for family and friends to get together at that point in time to share their emotions at their loss.

"What I said way back in post #11"Maybe instead of just throwing your body in a dumpster when you are done with it,maybe you can at least donate it to science or donate your organs to a needy recipient.
Maybe I dreamed this, but I thought I heard just recently that the bodies donated to science were stacked up somewhere - so many of them they can't all be used. Could that possibly be true? If so, I'd just as soon they dispose of mine some other way rather than leave my cold, dead corpse stacked up in a corner with a bunch of other cold, dead corpses.

Yeah, but maybe the corpse next to you will be that of some really hot, sexy babe!

Cremation - wooden boat, flaming arrows and mead(after shooting the arrows).
All of which is dependant on my designated shooters to round up a wooden boat, outlive me and Mead being still commercially available./quote]
I called this one (sort of) back in #14. Since I've found a kindred spirit, maybe we can work together. I can shoot a bow (sort of), I once made a nearly palatable (and very strong) mead, and I plan to live at least 48 more years. Although at age 100 I may not be able to shoot the bow anymore. But I'll still be able to rig a decent remote detonator
And my DW isn't very accomodating with this idea, so if I go first, maybe you could lend a hand?

Ooh, I've waited a long time for this one: "After my death, I'd be widely recognized as a man out standing in my field!"There's always The Body Farm:

The nice thing about the Internet is that an appreciative audience is always out there somewhere...It's a shame you didn't continue your wait...
