I told my wife to put my urn on the headboard and think about me every time it rattles. If it falls off I joined in!

My wife and I both wish to be cremated. She wants hers to be spread out in the Caribbean. She doesn't care where just someplace we liked going. I said put part of mine there and part down where I hunt. It's where my Dad's are and one of my dogs.

My Dad got his wish as that's what he wanted. He grew up very close to where he's at and hunted that entire area all his life. My Uncle took a scrap piece of aluminum and engraved it with his name and a heart and "we miss you". He put it on a red elm that has since fallen over so I put it on the side of the log. I stop there and sit for awhile quite often when I'm out hunting or just out for a walk down there. I'd rather be talking to my Dad down there in a place that's peaceful and both of us liked to be than in some cemetery where no one would visit very often.

My Mom is buried in a cemetery and I stop by a few times a year but I know no one else does. IMO cemeteries are not a place anyone likes to visit. There are millions of burial plots that no one has visited in years. It's pretty sad when you think about it.

I myself don't want to be locked up in a casket, stuck in a vault and buried underground. I'd rather be in the wind seeing what's going on and maybe annoying some people. I guess in the end it won't matter because I'll be dead anyway.

Spread my ashes where I lived my life not where I’ve never been or wanted to be at in some jar to burden others.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I will be cremated

Ideally I would like my ashes spread somewhere out in nature, rather than sit on a shelf in an urn a few generations until someone dumps me in a flower bed or the trash

I have told my wife I wanted to be ground up and used as bear bait. We can go on one last hunt together and we both love bear hunting. She is not real keen on the idea, LOL. Option 2 I wish to be cremated with some ashes spread on a few places, on our properties. My wife wants us buried side by side. We have not figured it all yet. We better soon. I figure the only people that will come to see me is if Kathy is there next to me.

So that’s where I’m at .

That said , don’t let me sway you one way or another.


I'm with you.

We're always cutting and piling up brush at the farm. I always told my kids to save the money and just burn me on a brush pile. Bonus points if they played Freebird and started the fire with a flaming arrow.

I however changed my mind as I got older, learned more and my faith got stronger. I want a full Catholic funeral Mass and burial. The Church now allows cremation and burial of ashes in a sacred place, but I just want a burial. If people want their family to spread their ashes, I am cool with that. Not my call. But for the State to say no is crazy.

Note: I now tell my kids to not blow a bunch of money on the casket.

I was talking with some friends , they were at a funeral for a friend of theirs that passed , he had been huge in prairie restoration probably one of the more influential people in prairie restoration in the Midwest

he was divided up into many small containers and given out at the memorial , for all who had a prairie restoration to spread on their prairie


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
