When I'm no longer interested in this body, any usable parts can be used
by the needy, Science can have it to figure out how I survived that
long, then burn the rest and put it in some water. The Virgin Islands
are my first choice, Chesapeake second, but the creek that starts in my
back yard is sufficient. I've enjoyed the body for more than a half
century, but when I'm done with it, I'm done.

Amen :{))

I'm expecting I'd go first, as I'm older, but in either event, we're
planning to video the approaching demise, having the prospective deceased
detail current reality and expected outcome, along with detailing the desire
of the end result ...

.... which will be that the remains are rolled under the lifeline while under
way, because it will stink too badly before you get back to shore, also
video'd, so that the survivor doesn't get hauled up on murder charges :{))

Of course, with our luck, we'd be ashore while stricken, and couldn't do
that - but then we *could* do the donor part. I'm of like mind, wanting all
the used parts which still work to be harvested, then the remainder to get
cut on by students, and, ideally, the rest made into dog and cat food, but I
know that won't happen due to current sensibilities :{)) So, a nice bonfire
still has some appeal!

Does anyone out there know anything about Boat-Hearses and where one might
obtain one? I have included a link to the one and only photo I was able to
find.

I have a friend who is trying to commission me to build him a small
viking type ship, maybe 20 feet... Only problem is he also wants me to
put him in it and send it to sea on fire upon his death.

isnt it illegal to dispose of trash within the territorial waters? :-)

Incidentally...one of the best kept secrets around...the USCG provides
free burial at sea, as time permits for anyone...

mind so much when he asked me to do it, but when I finally realized he
is serious, I kind of got freaked out. Still don't know if I am gonna
build that one, probably not. Scotty


If that's his wishes, and he pays up front or is a good friend, I would
have no compunction. He should probably be cremated first to satisfy
local regs, and the boat should be created to burn as completely as
possible, but I can't think of a better way to go.

Good one, I will use it next time he brings it up and being the season
of cheer and beer, I sure he will.
