My wife and I have made arrangements to donate our bodies to the medical school at a nearby university. Useful organs will be harvested immediately and our bodies will be used in the training of future surgeons and other doctors. Finally, the remains will be cremated and turned over to our children who will scatter the ashes in our favorite place. The surviving spouse or the children will arrange a reception/party for the deceased. This will be an informal get-together with no speeches or other formalities - just good fellowship.

Scattering Ashes - Memorial Reef | Eternal Reefs -
All my family knows this is what I want. True recycling. And a party afterward at a great seafood place with all my friends and family. I'll be watching....

A friend told me today about how they put the ashes of a friend of hers into about 5 fireworks and lit them off. Now, that's what I call going out with a BANG!! It was very appealing to me!
