I really think it's a waste of money for a plot, casket, marker, etc - for what???? How often will anyone really "visit" me - once a year maybe at best once the initial grief has worn off and then only if they still live in the area. If I do choose cremation, the ashes of my RB pets that I have, will be mixed with mine and scattered in the ocean - my very favorite place to be! I would rather see any money that may be left when I do go, be distributed between my son and 2 grandkids where it can be used for college or schooling of their choice. So much better than dumping it into a hole in the ground!

OK - now I REALLY need to do something cheerful...........


Wow, what a thought to be thinking. How do you know you will not find love? Maybe you will find it in unlikely places? Personally, I want to be cremated, I want my ashes to be spread in my favorite nature spot. If my loved ones want to visit that spot, so be it, but only to find peace and solitude like the place did for me and not to morne over me.
