I just hope they honor my DNR. You have a do not recycle? Where is a body to get Solent Green?I want to be buried in the yard with my dogs. Whether my wife tellsanyone is up to her. So much of my life is on auto pilot, it couldtake a real long time for the government to miss me.Cremation and burial in the back yard would work well for me.We have a good friend in the heavy equipment business, I am not thatformal ;-)I am sure my wife and/or the family would want a more formal affairtho. My daughter said if we were all buried in the yard, she couldnever sell the house. ("Pet Sematary" thing) I said "good".Same here. My wife wants Arlington. Well, I won't be around, so she can do whatshe wants.I never had the Arlington thing and my father who had a spot if hewanted it, didn't either. Both of my parents wanted to be scattered inthe water around their home. My father went to the Gulf, my motherwent right off the dock out in back of her home. (her choice)I have a brother buried there (Silver Star), so maybe my wife will have me joinhim. Who knows!--Freedom Isn't Free!


That would be quite an honor. Fat Harry's remains will likely be
stored in a mason jar in his beloved basement office. His name
inscribed with a Sharpie.
