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.
...That has to be close to Deer River and Sand Lake (Itasca County). Was up there last summer for a week. Wife's grandfolks ran a resort on Sand during the 50's & 60's. Pretty country.

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.
My wishes are to be cremated, and have the ashes fired from a cannon, preferably Confederate. 6 months later, throw a hell of a party, free booze, and let my friends and family enjoy what memories they have of me.
If the cannon don't work, then half a dozen of my best friends(which may be hard to come up with) * into eternity with muzzle loaders.

Yep. After I went off to boot camp, my parents sold their place, and bought on portage lake, connected to Sand.

I am donating my body to science. should I wear something scientific? My fervent hope is some hot Asian med school student makes me her anatomy buddy for the semester. That would be a happy ending [;)]
A friend's daughter who is a doctor said in med school one of the things they did to the cadavers they were studying was to lop off and disect the genitals. Sort of ruins the fantasy. . .
I don't plan to be there so I don't care what's done with my body.
I told the wife the cheapest way would be cremate me and burial at sea. She doesn't want to do it that way. We did agree that I don't need a funeral. She plans to bury me in the Church cemetery if I die first.
I want her to bury me in the cheapest box available in a grave that meets minimum legal requirements. Spending thousands of dollars to make my body rot slower just doesn't make much sense to me.

work shirt, jeans, boots... just like i went through life. no casket. put me in a recliner or on a couch. Fry me and scatter what's left at Bradford speedway. and yeah, my will really says that.....
I'd like to be cremated with the ashes, minus titanium inserts and screws, spread at an airport.
The wife thinks otherwise and wants a veterans' cemetery
At one time I had planned on a flannel shirt and bib overalls but my current instructions are to recycle any parts others can use and burn what's left.
I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly
It's cremation for me, or whatever is cheapest. Maybe a dangerous animal will kill and eat me and it will be well documented so as not to hold up my estate.
Mine & my Great Dane's ashes will be mixed & liberally scattered over the local water shed for our town.
That'll fix 'em. (Also some beautiful timberland).

Some guy in Puerto Rico got seated on his motorcycle for the viewing. It was kind of neat but also kind of creepy. I don't know if he was buried on the bike or not. As for me on my bike would be fun to do.

Face down so everybody can kiss my *.
Face up for me, so everybody can suck my BallPark Frank
There's likely to be fairly hot where I end up.

Definitely a lime leisure suit - then cremate ,me quickly.

Can't fault you for wanting to be cremated quickly, being in a lime leisure suit and all. Maybe if you're quick enough nobody will see it.
