re: Cremation or Burial?

One of my uncles died long before cremation became a normal part of handling a body. He had 4 sons and treated me like one of his own after my dad, his brother, died when I was 8.
Before the casket was closed for the final time we placed little things in there with him. One cousin put a small bottle of his favorite liquor, one put a pack of his favorite cigarettes and I put a Royal Straight Flush. He liked his beer, cigarettes and the occasional game of poker so it seemed fitting.
The people that mattered understood our intentions. The ones that didn't could go pound sand.

Give my body to science and then cremate me when they're done. I'm not using my body anymore, and I feel no reason to take up any additional space after I'm gone.

Well I just found out making the 4 hour trip isn’t going to work so I started this thread for nuttin.
Cancer is a shitty way to go.

I think you can do a crematable casket. Your body is at the funereal (but not visible), but you get the torch afterwards.
I saw a guy do it recently, and I liked it.

Just as an aside, LSU does not allow ashes to be spread on the field in Tiger Stadium. There's a chemical-based reason but it's too far over my head.

I’m going to Burried next to my brother when I go. He passed 2 years ago Sibling passing is tough

We already have burial plots, so I guess that, but I would be fine with being cremated.

Burial - but that's mainly because I already own the rights to a space next to my Mom's grave in a small family plot along with my grandmother and other close relatives. It's either I go in that space or some random stranger does.
