January 21, 201610 yr 26 minutes ago, Frosty said: I"m not too fussy about what's done with my cremains I just don't want to go to a taxidermist. Before the accident when we had free money I told Deb if she wanted to do something special to donate a nice picnic table in a local park in my name. something reasonably permanent, granite would be nice but . . . Anyway, I wanted a simple inscription, donated by, blah, blah, blah, born, x died, x. "Have lunch on me." Then some night when nobody was looking dig a hole under it dump my ashes in and cover it up. Frosty The Lucky. I like that idea. If I'm ever rich enough I'll set some money aside for my wife to do that for me. Problem is I'm not planning on gettin in a fire dead or not I don't wanna burn. That being said I doubt she'll be able to drag me out to the park and bury me under a picnic table lol.
January 21, 201610 yr That's what the kids are for and if you're standing in the parlor I'm sure the missus will think of a way to get them working on it soonest. Wills can have interesting clauses. Frosty The Lucky.
July 16, 20179 yr If you made the blades then you children could get together and make the scales and assembled them and they could each take a little of you with them and pass it on for generations Not a bad idea.
July 16, 20179 yr My wife passed away on Easter morning. We had a small intimate gathering on her birthday [a couple weeks later] and a friend made some small packets of ashes for those who wanted to take them and/or spread them on our remote property. I made individual candle holders on steel Trillium plants for everyone who attended [Trillium were her favorites as they are the first plant that blooms in the spring]. I am currently working on small Damascus knives that will each contain a pinch of her ashes and a titanium staple saved over from my first surgery. This post was why my mind went there right away. Didn't know I would ever need the idea but it turns out I did. Thanks to all for being here. Dave
