I have also chosen cremation for myself. I had a will made up with all my wishes. I want my cremains to be scattered at Bolton Lake in Connecticut. It's a place I spent every single weekend as a child and it's also where I have my fondest memories.

I have also provided for all my cats, should they outlive me. After my will was drawn up, I let my friends know so they'd be prepared. I have seen too many pets wind up in shelters because people die and their relatives don't want them or can't take them. That will NOT happen to my furbabies.

Lizbud,

I also don't want to be put into the ground. I have requested no funeral, no service, no flowers. I want people to have a party to remember me, and in lieu of flowers, I want trees to be planted in my memory. Anyone wanting to make monetary donations, can do so to an animal rescue organization of their choice.
