    I'll be cremated, in my hunting clothes, with a box of ammo. [;)][;)][;)] Think they will go for that??

    Each to what they are most comfortable in is the way I look at it. My grandfather left in his best set of overalls, my aunt with un-matched socks, my dad in his best jeans and red flannel shirt with his ball cap on, a tin of Skoal in his pocket, my mom left the same way she came into this world. [:0]

    I'll probably not worry about clothing either since I won't be around to attend and have plans for cremation. If anything of value is left in my parts they can be donated and the rest just thrown into the incinerator.

    Cremation and burial at sea for me.
    When My Dad died they put him in his best clothes a dress shirt slacks and a sports coat. He rarely dressed like that, some of his frienmd said it didn't look like him, not in work clothes. That was the only way some of those guys ever saw him.

    Cremation with my ashes spread over the range at Camp Perry morning of BALL DAY. If I have any friends left that don't die before me.

    I want my ashes scattered along of as much of Route 66 as possible. From the back of a 1965 Electraglide.

    Short of that, just auger a deep hole and plant a hedge fence post on top of me so's folks who care know where to find me.

    The grandkids get all my stuff...hats, boots, pocket watches, pocket knives, guns, tack, Bibles, you name it. They can remember me by them. Besides, where I'm going I won't need them (I'll get new ones).

    I couldn't care less what happens at my funeral. I'll leave my corpse behind like an old pair of boots. They can use me for bear-bait, if they want. In fact, that would be kinda cool...[8D]

    Whatever my survivors feel best with at the time.

    Funerals and memorials aren't conducted for the decedent himself. He's no longer present and anything his body is clothed in, the design of the casket or anything placed inside with the body can mean nothing to him - but they can mean a lot to those who are mourning their loss.

    I'll leave such details up to them instead of establishing rules.

    Buried the way I have always dressed. Blue jeans, t-shirt, ball cap. No belongings cuz I wont need them. Leave it all to my kids. Certain items I would like them to pass down to the next generation and the rest they can do what they want with.

    Obit in the paper here for gent that passed away, was cremated. Friends invited to their place on the river for drinks and memories, where at dusk his ashes were to be loaded into his favorite cannon, and fired over the river.

    I just like the idea of having a favorite cannon.


    Or use my ashes to poison the wells of my enemies.

    Started out as a joke, and then I thought about it.
    Should have deleted it.[xx(]

    I had an extended response to this post, but figured it best to avoid![:D]

    If you were to ask them they'd say it was to honor their buddy, but in reality it was for the feeling this left them with.

    Again, a ceremony which helped survivors deal with their loss. That's the way it's supposed to work.

    ...I'll leave it to my wife & kids to decide. They know that
    a suit and tie are not what I'd prefer. There will be blue
    involved, I'm sure.
    ...We put my Dad in a suit and it just didn't seem right. The
    husband of a former coworker was big on restoring IH tractors.
    Jeans and flannel looked great, along with a small tractor in
    the casket.

    Cremated - in my Nomex flight suit, just to whiz them off.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    Cremation, with my ashes to be spread in my favorite place in YNP. I think its silly to make undertakers wealthy by buying an elaborate coffin, paying for embalming and a viewing and taking up space in a boneyard with a bunch of other corpses! When I croak, its into the oven for me and then into an urn until its time to spread the ashes.

    Both my wife and I too be cremated and ashes spread in little Jesse lake in bowstring township in northern Minnesota. We both grew up summering on that lake. Parents cabins across from each other.

    My best birthday suit will do for me in the burner, as ripped, torn, and wrinkled as it will be.

    I'm thinking my ashes would add to the flavor of Tombstone, by the OK corral.......
