Your Coffin or Mine?

Today i had a conversation with one of my favorite clients about cremation vs. getting stuffed in a hole 6 feet under...

I think I want to be cremated. Here's why:

A] I don't want to take up anymore space than I have to [I mean, as it is I'm always underfoot already!]

B] Cremation is cheaper

C] I won't really care what my haggard ol bones are doing, I'll be dead.

D] My family won't have to toil over what to bury me in. they can just leave me in what I'm already wearing...

E] I'd be free to float around for all eternity. Or at least until it rains and I get stuck to someones shoe, or maybe a picnic bench.

F] I won't make someone keep me in an urn. I'll have them throw my ashes somewhere rad like out of a helicopter over the golden gate bridge. or maybe in my grandmas backyard...



There are some benefits to getting buried though:

A] If somehow they bury me and I'm undead then I can just bust out and start raising hell again, no prob.

B] Maybe someone will come visit my grave and leave me stuff, so all the other dead people get jealous and start haunting their families...

C] I'd get a sweet headstone with something rad written on it like "I was too awesome for my own good" [yea... we'll have to work on that some.]

D] No one will confuse me for ultrafine unscented cat litter.

Still, the pros of cremation still far outweigh those of burial... Hopefully I have quite a while to figure it out.

til then,

tobi.
