When death surprises us, where would you like your remains to be?

[Alejandro]

I am from Mexico and I can tell you that, in Jalisco the customs understand a difference between the Pantheon and the Cemetery. In the Pantheon, according to them, the Catholic people who had died under the sacraments were buried. And in El Cementerio they buried people who were not Catholics but rather were foreigners and who had not died under the sacraments. I personally wish to be cremated and have my ashes placed in the roots of a young tree at home (Genesis 3:19).

My wish is to be cremated, and my remains sprinkled in the lake that I grew up living beside. My older daughter that died was sprinkled there too. It is also my wish that no one see my body unless it has to be identified and whether or not there is a memorial talk given, is up to my youngest daughter.  No memorial talk is beginning to be a regular occurrence here.

"When" ? It should be "If"  

I don't plan to die 😉

When I die, I plan to be cremated.  My wife does also.  I have not given any thought as to where my ashes are to be spread. 

 

At my age, it is sort of a race.  Will I die or will Armageddon come first?  Both should be close.

If I am dead, how will I be surprised? The dead know nothing. I understand what you are saying. My wife and I have already picked out our grave. We bought it after her youngest daughter died. It can hold up to 4 urns. I will be cremated, no service and then wait to be resurrected. The resurrection will be the surprise I would want.

That’s what I told my wife. She asked if I wanted to be cremated or buried? I said "surprise me.”

'If' I should die before A day, I want to be placed in a mining ventilation shaft, on top of many pounds of TNT, and detonated.

 

A meat shotgun, if you will......
