I vaguely remember one of my predecessors who did not get along with his heir.  When his son died before him I believe he was buried in Westminster Abbey in the ground with this, "Here lies Fred, Now he is dead, There is no more to be said."

When was that?  :orly:

One of the Georges.

Frederick Louis, son of George II, died 1751

Ah yes, of course!  :laugh:

In a magazine I read that now you can get your ashes pressed into a diamond.

Or the ashes of you and your partner, for ever united in a bigger diamond.

Got me thinking about huge inheritance rows, about, who will get grandma  :zoinks:


Oh, there seem to be artists too, who can make paintings with the ashes of your beloved.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

So silly! I think I would request that my ashes be scattered somewhere nice,
rather than sticking my brother or whomever else with the task of keeping an urn around forever.  :laugh:

He could make an ear-piercing with a diamond setting. Showing the radiant you to everyone he meets.
(you would need some expert cutting and polishing to get the radiant effect after death, but, you get the idea, shine on for ever, in a setting of gold.)

You have to be freeze dried after death that way you can be the life of the party that you never were when you were alive

I just want to end up in the moors turning anonymously into peat in the end.

When the time is there, they can use me in the still, to make a gorgeous  :scotch:

But, there is of course the danger of being found and exhibited in a museum  :runaway:

Seriously, I don't want a grave.
Don't want a grave either. One of those mausoleums would be okay though; would make an interesting tool shed.
