Told my wife that when the time comes I want to be stuffed and mounted in my favorite chair with a scowl on my face, a beer in one hand and the other hand raised in an eternal one-finger salute.

I suppose I'd need a taxidermist for that...

Friends of my wife had both their ashes packed into a rocket (Firework type, not intergalactic) and fired and exploded over their favorite forest walk.
Wife and I have a plot in our 12th Century village churchyard.
Hope to meet some interesting spooks when I/we eventually go there.
Not in any hurry to go mind you!

We are hoping for Arlington…Think of all the stories one would get to listen to by veterans who gave ultimate sacrifice. Or lived long lives to pass on wisdom, or maybe who shot who.

But I do envy the 12 century churchyard’s

How does that work? I would think that a 900-year-old cemetery, assuming that has been in constant use over that time, gets a bit crowded. Do they bury people on top of one another in those cases?

The ancient burial plots have long been 'over buried'.
The actual churchyard is full, inscription have long gone from the majority of headstones due to weathering.
Our plot is next to the old area in a relatively new extension, about 50–60 years in use.
We get a 75-year lease on our grave, no freehold plots these days, then up we come, or we two will have new neighbors down with us!

If there’s an afterlife I don’t plan on sticking around my burial or ash scattering place. So instructions for my family is do what’s cheapest.
