Here lays a Trapper under this bit of ground. Just dig a little deeper & he will be found. He is down there a thinking & messing around. Of just what critter in his trap will be found.
For years I have been tomstrap, now I must change because of the whims of the cyber world. NRA Life, ISTA Life, FTA Life, NTA Life

same here zim. I just posted what it would say if I was buried. Ive already given instructions to 2 of my cousins to spread my ashes at Wolf Mountain overlooking the flats. A spot where weve spotted caribou from many times. Ive instructed them to spread the ashes on the first south east wind after im gone that way the ashes will blow down hill for a couple seconds then back uphill and all over the boys. My final "HAHA" moment.

I Am to be cremated and my ashes spread over the lands I loved to hunt and trap but if I was to have a headstone I would want it to read something like this...... Waited a lifetime on this earth .... just to hear the words "Well done faithful servant, Welcome and come on in" at my day of judgment!!! Amen!!!!

Who am I? I am a pebble on a beach A blade of grass in a field A cloud in the sky Catching a glimpse of this world as time goes by The flame of a candle to light your way A drop of water on a rainy day A mighty tree in an endless forest The softer voice of a singing chorus I am these things and so much more For I'm not just a window I am the door

I'll be cremated and have my ash's scattered in the creek where I live. Never been happier than on this piece of land and I have a dislike of being underground. Zim DIDN'T know this but just had my will redone and told attorney I was going to be cremated and scattered . She instantly said I didn't hear that. It is illegal in Ky to scatter remains . Better check the laws

Better check the laws No reason to put it in your will if you have friends and loved ones that will see that your wishes are carried out. Last thing I want is the *^&%(^ govt having the last word over my life here on earth! I have already told my daughter that I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered at the farm next to the creek. I love walking the old cemeterys here and looking at the tombstones from the settlers, but I doubt that sentiment will exist much in the future. So no need to waste money on one for me. Hopefully St. Peter will tell me "Good ride cowboy, good ride."

my preference is for my carcass to be left out on the prairie. the way coyote carcasses get cleaned up it would be gone in a few months im sure. that aint legal. burial without first being taxidermyed is pretty complicated. taxidermy of humans seems a little immoral to me for some reason. kicking a body in a hole and filling it in wont do anymore. (who knows why) so that leaves creamation and the ashes tossed in the local river. law wont let my buddies grind my carcass up and make bait out of it either.
who knows what my kids will do with it. I sure wont know but they all know what I want

I guess if I set it up it a head time would be my signature here on T-man. Got it engraved on my zippo so maybe just JB weld my zippo to the stone. My son said he was going to just push me out in the river let turtles and catfish clean me up.. Wife made me buy a couple plots back when I was doing the cancer thing. So I guess I can't be burned up she wants to know where my carcass is in the ground not stinking things up some where.
My father was know to be kinda ornery, We thought about putting on his stone. "Now I Got Something To _itch About!" Figured that wasn't fair to mom..
When my brother passed he was cremated..I had Larry Finch make me up some of the brass tags with his name and such. Gave some to his daughters and my sister inlaw. They thought it was pretty cool. We left one in the ground at couple places we spread his ashes. Buried one by his deer stand and I've left them here and there in places he and I hunted and fished. Just my little thing maybe someday some one find a tag say who was this guy. Wonder why is this here.

I don't really care what mine says. Heck donate my whole body to help other people who need organs im dead so why should I care
Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY COW! WHAT A RIDE!"

I donated my body to a medical school. After they cut me up and look at me they will cremate me. My kids can throw out the ashes however they want.
I also have a grave site with a tombstone already up. My tombstone says Kevin Patrick Sullivan Father of Brenna Marie Kip Patrick
I figure it is nice to have a tombstone if there is ever some family member, in the future, trying to research family history. And my kids names on there will give some direction, to whomever might be looking.

I will be cremated and my ashes thrown into the lake.
As long as we're on the subject of tombstones: Some have said Ben Franklin was an atheist. Not according to his epithet:
"The Body of B. Franklin, Printer Like the cover of an old book, Its contents torn out, And stript of its lettering and guilding, lies here, food for worms. But the work shall not be lost, For it will, as he believed, appear once more. In a new and more elegant edition. Corrected and improved by its author."
Given by Ben Franklin to Sam Morris August 31,1776
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

My last wish is pour me in a tray on the tailgate of my 69' chevy and drive the trap line. With the mt. Winds it should be a short loop. Lol
Let me sugar coat this

whatever the living folks put it on - matter's not to me Speaking from experience. Getting everything done, before a person dies, makes it much easier on the living. Why trouble the living with getting a tombstone, buying a burial plot, deciding what the deceased wishes might be. Do it all before you die and save the living the trouble of making decisions while grieving. My parents had everything already laid out. They had a burial plot, tombstone already in place and things all ready. It sure made it easy on me, and my brothers, in making closure. There is enough to do without trying to decide what the dead wished. That is why I have everything spelled out, taken care of, and paid for. That way my children have nothing to do except to cry over my poor, ol" bones.
