Took a course ???? in cremating ? hope she didnt have any homework.

I'm to be cremated & youngest daughter [who took a course]is to put ashes in a very large, very pretty firework & set it off in a display at the end of a great family party. I love fireworks & can't imagine anything better Vivienne

Joe, Deep thinking. happy days

That's a nice thought, Kaye :) BC

I can't bear the thought of being cremated - I have insisted in my Will that I be burried. Although I live in Dorset now, I want to be burried back home in Somerset - preferably near my other family members. I like the idea of returning to the earth - I want a rose bush or a miniature tree planted on my grave, so that I grow into something beautiful. Kaye x

Thanks BC, you are very understanding. Deanna (((X))) :-0)

Harry - 19th is better.

Thanks for replies everyone, it made me smile! And Deanna, I will hold the party when you are ready, o.k? lol BC

Buttercup, could you hang on in there for a while please? I don't feel like a party just now, maybe next week! LOL Deanna :-D)

just as an addendum to my earlier message - my ashes are to be scattered in the rough on the 9th hole of my golf course - spent an awful lot of time in there. happy days

Nice one Dave ! lol Buttercup are you going to Holland to die ? NO need for clogs, sandals will do ... or slippers. And all this stuff about non-inflammable clothes and furniture .......... I do like the idea of having funeral beforehand - thats good, at least you can have some eats and drinks before leaving - but make sure that you are billed AFTER you go.

Cremation - no flowers just a spray of freesias money to RNLI -ashes to be scattered off Chicken Rocks IOM - music - You'll never walk alone, Ferry me cross the Mersey and at the end a good bit of Chris Barber music to set fee tappping. Husband still has not told me what to do with his ashes - last discussion I informed him that I would place them under one of the stepping stones on lawn and I would walk over him regularly - still haven't got a decision.

I want to be buried and my wife to dance on my grave! I shall be buried at sea! Davex

I want to be buried in Woodland. The place is already selected right up in the heart of the South Downs in Hampshire.

Maz...I was trying to phrase exactly that for Jacq! Thanks....and Davo thank you for bringing me down to earth...lol BC and of course, Harry I know you are no fuel :)

Cremation is less enviromentally friendly. All that CO2. And the objectional smell of burning flesh if you live near a cremetorium. Dave

Jaqc?? You can still be cremated and put with him, if you first, they can put you in his coffin, or if he goes first, your ashes can be added to his burial plot! Maz x

Susan....what a good idea! You are invited! lol BC

BC No-ones going to make a fuel of me. Happy days

I always wanted to be cremated but as Maz said want to be with my husband....only trouble is he won't be cremated..they are afraid of the fire here so looks like burial for me oh dear! Jacquie
