    Today's mail - I received a sales letter from a cemetery asking me if they can help planning for my future needs.

    Thanks...I needed that.

      My best wishes to all of us on TNCR. May we all not die in the near future.

      Education is extremely important.

        Actually, you need to do that. The price of funerals and burial can knock a hole in your family's wallet.

          Yes, we’re looking at such arrangements.

            Indeed. We need to stick together.

            There’s no ‘l’ in TNCR.

              Bounce the cheque on the undertaker.

              The university med school is covering the cost of what there’s left to cremate of me. May not be anything- don’t know and don’t care. Any ashes go to the wind in a bucolic setting of choice that only my spouse knows.

              Don’t believe in funerals, memorials or celebrations of life. When the dimVII chord finally resolves that’s it. Call the faculty that their next cadaver is ready for pick up.

                A think celebrations of life are okay. Rent out a pub - free drinks and food. 🙂

                  I found out recently my wife wants to be cremated and I want a gravesite. Ultimately I won't be around to care what happens to myself, so whatever!

                    I'm hoping to die in my sleep, and I'd also really like to keep working right up until the end. As an airline pilot, it would save a lot of money on funeral expenses.

                    I was only joking

                      You can do both. Cremation then burial. My parents ashes are buried under a gravestone.

                        I suppose it's tricky where one chooses one's burial plot when a dead spouse and a remarriage are involved.

                        Should the newly deceased widow/widower be buried next to the deceased spouse? If so where should the new spouse be buried when the new spouse dies? Posthumous three way just doesn't sound all that exciting when it comes to burial plot selection.
