Not gonna worry about it yet. I turn 68 next week and I don't even consider myself middle-aged yet. Still have the mind of an eight-year-old and the beard of a twelve-year-old.
Moosetrot The only difference being, you haven't been able to trust a fart for 25 years.

Posco I am of the exact same thinking. I do wood working and have thought of making my own coffin. I'm not much of a carpenter. I did some searching and found some custom jobs that weren't terribly expensive. I did some checking and I can be buried on my own land without being embalmed and no concrete vault is required. I have to register the site with the town and the site has to be marked but that's no big deal. I'd better do this quick before they change the law on me.

Moosetrot The only difference being, you haven't been able to trust a fart for 25 years. This is true. Just like Ben Franklin said, though, I "Fart proudly." Moosetrot

I wanted to move my son and start a family cemetery at the farm but the government restrictions and 300k needed to be put in a trust for future maintenance extinguished that really quickly. I'm sorry to hear that and I hope I didn't open a wound. My brother buried his daughter way too young and I saw what it did to him. I didn't mean to be insensitive.

What, nobody wants a walk in solid Granite Mausoleum with a viewing room ?? I repaired this one after some kids broke into it and scattered the remains about. May as well let someone you know do it...the scattering.

Buried in a box with my 270 featherweight model 700 remington mountain rifle Packed in cosmoline? I thought that was the only way with a few ammo cans of ammo , that way the kids and grand kids always know where they can find a good rifle and some ammo

Cremation for me but just found out that ain’t cheap anymore. Brother-in-law just passed, he didn’t want a funeral, just cremation. $3600 to get his ashes in a cardboard box. Yikes 😱

I'm sorry to hear that and I hope I didn't open a wound. My brother buried his daughter way too young and I saw what it did to him. I didn't mean to be insensitive. No worries it was 15 years ago that 19 year old ran the red light and killed my 16month old. It took years but I'm mostly ok with it now and have a much different view of death. Infact I was talking with a fellow today. Everything I have is Gods I'm just a temporary custodian of it. Form the bank account to the kids. He decided it was time for my son to come home so he did.. ok maybe I'm not quite over it or even ok with it but I will see him again and no longer worry about dying. I actually look forward to it though I'm definitely in no hurry. Don't worry about me being sensitive. But thinks for being compassionate and considerate. So many no longer think about others these days.
