Ah, the final good-bye.u00a0 What to do with the remains.u00a0 This is mostly a religious question.u00a0 Without religion, you accept that the meat is just a waste and needs to be disposed of.u00a0 You then have to worry about the legal side of things.u00a0 For those who wish to be part of a shotgun shell, I think it is a great send off.u00a0 Personally, I would most most like to become food for scavengers, either in the depths of a forest or deep at sea.u00a0 I don’t want my remains to be preserved in a solemn casket that will not rot for thousands of years.u00a0 I don’t wish to donate my organs to those who would die without.u00a0 The human population of Earth is too large as it is and I do not wish to add to that burden by prolonging the lives of those near death.u00a0 Since I cannot nourish the scavengers, I will be cremated in order to take up less room in the soil.u00a0 Perhaps it can become fertilizer.

I want the Hunter S. Thompson send-off…u00a0 put my ashes into a pyrotechnic shell.u00a0 I wish to go out with a bang! Being loaded into some ammunition sounds interesting, too. Talk about sending me downrange!

Interesting thoughts!u00a0 I recentlyu00a0was issuedu00a0a “lifetime lease” on a square foot of land at the Laphroaig Distillery (Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky).u00a0 I pondered the possibility of having my urn buried on my plot……only catch is…..the “lifetime” thing.u00a0 Hell, after I have croaked I will technically lose the “Lifetime Lease.”

Death is inevitable and its mostly peoples religion that cause them to obsess over it. nWill I go to heaven or hell?nSo many people are in for a surprise, neither one exists. nnI know where I will be buried, my kids know what I want done and who is not allowed at my funeral. Any useable organs will be donated, I’m not selfish and I won’t need them anymore.u00a0 No church, no preacher of any kind and we are good to go. Just throw in a bottle of my favorite whiskey and I’ll be happy.u00a0

Put the “expensive” right back into dying. Many people choose cremation because of it’s lower cost. nBut If you just want to go out with a ‘bang’ (or a hundred of them) then I suppose that this is the way!
