The RIP Thread

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

That is all you need. Why waste money?

I have been researching biodegradable urns that grow in to a tree. I plan on buying two---one for each of my kids---and will direct that they divide my ashes equally and plant the tree wherever they would like.

My exes and kids would prolly plant my tree in a dog park.

Having taken care of a cemetery for about 12 years now I've seen how the "kids" take care of mom and dads burial site. The bottom line is after the first year ----they don't.

Half of me is going to the family plot cemetery and half to the local VA cemetery. The VA cemeteries are always maintained immaculately. My wife as an uncle whos ashes are scattered in about 10 different places from his homestead to his hunting camp to favorite vacation places. One thing I could never understand is why someone would keep a urn full of ashes on a fireplace mantel or bookshelf or even in the back of a closet. To each his own I guess.

Scatter my ashes all over the Mojave!!!

The niches.....with an ocean view...... were gifts to us from a friend. Corona Del Mar is kinda fancy, but I can work it.

My friend had a aunt who died. They found two urns in the house that went in the dumpster.

That's what usually happens eventually to urns that are kept by family. Sometimes they even make it to the grandkids before being tossed.
