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

" He's finally voting Democrat"

Ryan was a hunter and trapper. He loved it.

My dad said he walked up to an Indian grave and said "Chief, what did the white man kill you for?" The Indian said nothing.

Here it is ...Just waiting for me to crawl under it … denotes some of the things I enjoyed doing - Hunting/Fishing, Music, and writing.

The way I felt out checking traps today … it might be sooner than later.




Garry-

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

Cremated and ashes spread benieth a big flat rock at my camp where my father's ashes are and same place his parents are and a simple cross behind the rock.

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.

In the spring he strutted and in the fall he rutted

Here lies Lufkin trapper
stiff at last.

it was me
for a moment,
for a moment,
for a moment

If you're still holding my beer, you can set it down.

My feelings exactly … my is all done … paid for and the stone laid... coffin and service is done including CDs fir the music I want played. The only thing left is to write the Obit the way I want it.

Garry-

The plan is to not have one for me. I plan to be cremated and my wish is to have most of the ashes scattered back into the land that gave me great pleasure and enjoyment and lessons learned. The family is becoming OK wiht all this. Might make some bacteria that makes some plant that some minnow eats and some merganser eats the fish and flies south and deposits the doo-doo and this creates food for returning flights and start it all over again!

Well "he had been drinking and I said hold my beer and watch this"
