Going out with a bang!
Quote:
One of the fireworks bursting above the city this year will contain a bit of cremated remains -- a fitting tribute, organizers say, to the man who ran the annual event for 40 years.

Meredith Smith died in February at age 74. About a half-teaspoon of his ashes will be in a fireworks shell that will create a white burst in the sky for the finale of the show, set for Thursday night.

I also think that's very cool. I'm sure the old guy would appreciate it and it will bring somewhat of a smile to his family and others. Myself, my remains will be dispursed in the Zekiah Swamp off a boardwalk I was a major participant in erecting. If I am able to observe after the fact it will give me great pleasure to watch myself eventually flow down into the Chesapeake Bay. Just sounds like a better deal than being spread in an area I don't give a hoot about.

I love that idea!

But I really want to be turned into a diamond.

I'm sure there's enough of me for both.
