Cremation or Burial?

even better, just have yourself buried on your own land! and when you leave the home to the kids, they can visit you whenever they want! they can wave when they mow over you each week, the family pet can come out and spend some quality time watering the grass on you, maybe even be buried next to you when its the pet's time to go. and when your kids sell you house to some freaks of nature, you can haunt the hell out of them.

What about the legalities of that?

i have no idea. but if its your land, its your land, right? i imagine as long as you disclose to the buyer that the burial exists, you should be fine.

I believe it's against the law to be buried in your yard.

i wonder why that is cattitude. people bury their pets every day in their yard in less containing enclosures than a casket. how would an animals decomposing body differ from a humans?

i just hate the idea of the earth running out of burial plots in 100 years, and having mine turned up like poltergeist for a new home development.

Don't know. Thought I heard it somewhere and I was looking stuff up but haven't found anything yet. I thought it had something to do with embalming but I guess you could bury ashes. I could be completely wrong.

Burn me baby and pour my ashes into the sea!!

that picture looks more like a hidden creek in someone's back yard or a woods somewhere!

maybe it was an old favorite fishing hole. :cry:

You can not bury people or pets on your property. Has something to do with the ground water. I know this cause when I worked at the animal hospital we weren't supposed to give clients their dead animals back to bury.

I say cook me and toss me in the ocean. No point in visiting a piece of dirt to "visit" me after I am gone.

Yeah, tell your family you'll haunt them for life anyway, they don't need to go to a stone somewhere.

I haunt them now

That's what I figured too.

Cremation is the way to go, the dead don't need the space, the living do. A handfull of ashes doesn't take much space if buried.

My vet always gives me back my animals. In fact, they ask.

I've always wanted to be cremated. My mother was and she is encased in one of those wall things at the graveyards with the rest of my kin. I don't want to sit around, thu, I want my ashes scattered to the 4 winds - bugs and birds can still eat my ashes.
