I'll be cremated. Though I would like to just be thrown out in the woods somewhere and let the animals eat me...

Turn me into ashes and scatter me to the wind.
To do it with a wood fire or solar energy somehow would be ideal. Don't want to leave a big ol' carbon footprint on my way out.

Just a pine box. Dressed in blue jeans and a t-shirt. With one helleva party after everyone takes turns shoveling dirt on me. My wife knows it, and it's in wrighting.

"Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
Lord, I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight
Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die"

-Joe Diffie




To be honest, I don't care what they do with me once I die....I'll be dead!

I thought it was going to look exactly like a big can of Pabst beer,
not just a coffin with a logo on it.

Just went thought this with wife grandpa earlier this week. I delivered the eulogy Wednesday.

The thing about a coffin is it mostly for the friends and family. With that said, nothing wrong with having something that reflects on the departed's personality or lifestyle. As cold and cynical as it sounds the guest of honor can't complain and doesn't care.
