Hi all, Thats the question,how to you want to leave this earth,for me I`m not sure,being buried is so just lonely,but being cremated sounds refreshing in a way your ashes are tossed out in a area that you love.I still don`t know but then again when the time comes it really doesn`t make a difference.Give us your thoughts.  |

I'm not sure. I guess it doesn't matter, but perhaps cremation. Fire is beautiful, maggots are not. |

I have decided upon cremation. As a child, I had to go and visit my Mother at a cemetary, and I vowed not to do that to my children. Instead, I will have my ashes sprinkled somewhere beautiful, so they will have to go there if they want to visit me. I think I will actually have them sprinkled in 2 places; Paradise at Mt. Rainier, and Seaside, OR. My 2 favorite places in the world!  |

Hi deb, yes I would agree on the cremation and your loved ones going to the place you have spread your ashes on.But I also have in my head since my parents are getting older it would be nice to have them as buried to sit on the grass and know that they are there,its a touchy subject for those you care about,but your suggestion of visiting the area where a cremation was done is nice also,,death or losing someone is just wierd,just miss the person but you still want to be connected. |

Well, my children could keep some of my ashes in a pretty little bottle in there houses, that way I could be close to them at all times. But I still want to have my ashes sprinkled at the places that I love as well, so that my "spirit" will be there for them to visit as well. Yes, death is weird. I have dealt with it a lot in my life already, and you never quite get over it, you know? I am getting ready to lose my maternal Grandmother, who has been the biggest support in my life that I have ever had. I will truly miss her when she is gone, and I know that losing her will be really rough on me. But she is 84, and everyone has to go through the transition of death sooner or later. So to me, it is just a part of life. A very sorrowful part of life. |
