Definately have a will "NOTORIZED" with your wishes for your remains after death. My sperm donor was to cheap to have his will notorized which caused his estate to go into probate. Fortunately, just being me and my sister there was no one to contest the will. He wanted to be creamated and his ashes spread in the gulf. I took his ashes and placed them where the last incoming wave was and then............not one other wave would come in that far to take him out to sea. Karmas' a *****!! Definately consider donating any usable organs to someone in need.

Thanks for the laugh with the fuel filter in the landfill.

I like ur plan. My dad will be cremated and dumped info the ausable river and my mom wants to go with him. It's been known for years.

I really don't have strong feelings about what is done with me. On the other hand I should make a decision so that I don't leave my faamily wondering what they should have done. It could lead to years of guilt and that is something I don't want

My son would be the driver, but thanks for offering.

BTW, when I say "Sticks Pined" I don't mean to blow up the motors, just one last Go Fast Ocean ride. I have too much respect for my equipment to intentionally hurt stuff...even after I'm gone :)

Yep, been on the organ donation list for years.

I had the same basic idea of taking my ashes out and not dumping them below 5400rpm,pin the throttles and when we reach top speed dump me across the lake.I love the idea of going thru the motors but agree the fuel filters may cause a problem and you may have a problem finding someone to let you dump the ashes in their tank.

Have you seen "ashes" after cremation? It's not just ashes, but also bone fragments and teeth.

My Mom pass away earlier this year unexpectantly, with no will, however I knew she wished to be cremated. I can say what you see on TV doesnt match what takes place. I wanted to be with my mother thru every process, when the time came to place her remains in a urn I assisted in doing it.

about a month after my mother passed, my aunt her older sister passed away, ( she lived in germany),
my cousin ask if we could combine some of their ashes. we combined some of my mothers and Aunt's, and spread them in my mom's flower garden. we also kept a small amount for my cousin to take to germany, which we will spread where they grew up as children.
