Re: Preparing For The Future.

Yeah, I'd be fine being buried in a cardboard box. What do I car if I'm dead?

I thought it was funny that walmart sells caskets though

Re: Preparing For The Future.

If I get buried in a Walmart casket, I hope my family will at least take the SKU tags off for the service.

Re: Preparing For The Future.

Seeing that I am Swedish, I would prefer to go out like my Viking ancestors. I told the wife to throw me in my boat, light it up, and push it out onto TableRock Lake.

Re: Preparing For The Future.

All I need is a tin bucket with a lid. My instructions are to cremate me, carry me around in the trunk of the car, and if they get stuck in the snow, I can help out one more time.

Re: Preparing For The Future.

Thinking about this a little further I don't see why I can't just dig a hole for myself in the back yard?.
I've already buried about 250 lbs of dog and if I outlive my English Mastiff that will add another 170 lbs.......
I'm about 215 lbs......
See I'd dig the hole myself so my wife didn't put me in the leach field.
That would suck.....
