Kilted Burial?

[Bugbear]

We would love to have you in our freezer! Just kidding, no hooks involved actually, and we cremate the bodies and return the ashes to the families when the year is over (so you most definitely would not be buried in a kilt)- just an FYI....

Well, rather than being cremated I would prefer to be ground up, emulsified, then fed to mother Earth's microbes and wee beasties. I wouldn't mind a catapult being involved too, but... I won't be too picky.

I like your idea, Ted. I usually tell my parents and siblings that they should just drag me out into the woods and let nature handle the rest. Generally they are horrified, but I figure whatever makes me me is gone and I'd rather contribute to the "circle of life." The funny thing about it is that I am the only religious one in the family (well, I have a sister who recently started coming to my church occasionally, but I've only missed a small handful of Sundays in 30 years) yet I am the one least worried about traditional style disposal of my remains. By the time I go, however, I hope I have a kilt or two I can leave to one of my nephews. I'd hate to waste such a fine, heirloom quality garment.

Let's hope it's a long time before any of this matters for anyone here.

Amen!

...and in truth it wouldn't surprise me if I got chucked into a ditch somewhere (at least I hope I'm kilted!)
