Lord Liaden Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my kin to buy the cheapest cremation possible for my corpse, then send the ashes out with the trash. I won't be in a position to care. My niece who gardens can then use the urn as a planter.

Dean Shomshak Check with the government in your state to make sure that's legal. 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. DShomshak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 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... Lawnmower Boy and Old Man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 1 hour ago, Cygnia said: Gordon Lightfoot certainly did not need that song for his career. 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.) 😌 wcw43921, rravenwood, Christougher and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should wake people up, I'd think... In at least my state, you can have your remains composted. Whatever your inheritors don't claim goes into a tree farm. What they do claim can be used like any other compost fertilizer. There are limitations on what they will accept, but aside from an upper limit on body weight (250 lb) they make sense.
