March 22, 20241 yr comment_2945339 I think you have to have been a god or legendary warrior, since the only authenticated references to bodies being burned on ships in water come from mythology.

In many states, and provinces in my country, introducing unsecured human remains including ashes into the environment is barred by law. You don't want to potentially cause your kin problems after you're gone.
March 22, 20241 yr comment_2945383 I told a friend of mine that I wanted my remains scattered from an airplane over Ann Arbor. But that I didn't want to be cremated first. That should wake people up, I'd think...

And he brought it to the families of the drowned sailors before he released it to ask for their approval. They all considered it a fitting tribute.  Detroit's Maritime Church rings its bell every year on the anniversary of the wreck, once for each sailor lost. Last year they added an extra stroke of the bell for Gordon Lightfoot after his passing.  (Sorry, that got my Canadian up a little.) 😌
