Not meaning any disrespect to your late friend, but I thought firefighters did not "allow" cremation?
I dunno. I've been in the fire service for sixteen years and that's the first time I've ever heard of such a "rule". In fact, one of my best friends like to joke that he wants to be cremated, carried on the rig, and then dumped into the tank water and sprayed onto the next big fire after his death...
