Man's cremated remains found in trunk of car

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.

oddly enough, mrs. Morph has this in mind for the clan morpheus. A family crypt with a topside burial chamber. When it's time for a new addition, a lever is pulled which allows for the current remains to drop through to a common chamber. The new "resident" takes his place at the top waiting for his pull of the lever. That way, she says, all of our bones will be together. I don't even know if there is such an animal.

I like that idea. Simple and to the point.
