Are you saying that all those who opt for burial are stupid? If so, then I may be stupid, but I'm in pretty good company...

not stupid just dead ! I would choose cremation over a box and a visitation any day. It is a waste of money. My soul is gone so why waste time on the clay shell ??

Like weddings much overdone.

I agree the whole burial and casket thing can be stupid and expensive..
if there is ANYTHING to be said of the whole thing.. it's having a nice peaceful place for those left behind, to go visit your grave site.

of course as soon as I say that.. that whole idea only holds so much I suppose.. as opposed to 'some other place' that was possibly a shared experience etc..

So never mind then..

TGIF.. nothin' left do but smile, smile, smile.

Can't you do both? That is, be cremated and be buried? Or do urns only go into those drawer thingies? (mausoleums? tombs?)

Fireplace mantles, bookcases.. trunks of cars.

I saw on TV news that detectives researched and found his only living relative is a daughter.... who happens to be in jail in South Louisiana.

Maybe the guy wanted his remains left in a car on his property. Why is this news? Some body aught to claim the ashes and just dump them out right there.
