BURIED OR CREMATED ?
« on: Tuesday 27 July 04 16:32 BST (UK) »
 :D
    Hello , Not a thing we all think about but !
    BURIED  OR  CREMATED
    What do you want  ?
    and why ?
    I think we all will have to be cremated eventually as space runs out if so i have my ash poured around Graceland
 Where would you want your ashes put ?
  mind you a nice grave stone would be nice for family history !! :D

Hum fifty five lookins ,but not many comments !!!
 As i thought not one pepole wants to chat about ??
  or not interested in what happens to your remains ???
   but what ever we all are going there in the end  :-\
     
   Despite its lack of popularity everyone tries death eventually .........

Yes,  but they usually only try it once.  ;D

Cremation for me please and i dont want flowers. Send all donations to some deserving cause.  Gin Drinkers of Yorkshire sounds a good one  lol.

I was reading an article about a DIY burial....it takes my old man 3 months to pick up the garden spade.  I'd make a pretty good scarecrow in the meantime tho'   lol

Cremation's the one for me, get really freaked out at the thought of being buried alive :o :o
At least if I'm cremated I'm definatley dead ;D
