None. Cremation perhaps. Scattered. Like everything in this world I'll vanish without a trace to make way for the new generation. Nobody visits graves anyway. We had an old historic cemetery here that got dug up and turned into a park.
Four generations of my family go every Memorial Day to visit 3 different cemeteries to clean graves and pass on family stories. This doesn't even include my "favorite" family cemetery that I make at least a couple of pilgrimages to every year (other side of the family)...........due for one in early Nov. btw.
But I get it, San Diego is probably a very different place than Western Maryland though. Around here the thought of digging up an old cemetery would be unheard of.
As the planet is being filled by an ever-increasing population, it seems selfish to me to be buried, taking up space that someone else may need later on. I expect to be cremated with my ashes added to the channel off of the West side of Maui where I live.
No need to be "remembered".
No, they don't have to hire a company but I'm just saying. I keep hearing it advertised and they will probably give you a beautiful ceremony at sea and it will be emotional and inspiring. Some people want their ashes dropped into the sea from a plane. Others might just go out in a boat and scatter them on their own.
You don’t even have to go out on a boat, or hire anyone to do anything. DIY.
Hope I dont have a gravestone and that I have some good friends like Edward Abbey to dispose of me properly when the time finally comes. https://www.azcentral.com/story/news...ance/25930091/ Now there is a guy who went out in style, true to his wishes and beliefs .
Free your body and soul
Unfold your powerful wings
Climb up the highest mountains
Kick your feet up in the air
You may now live forever
Or return to this earth
Unless you feel good where you are!
