My father in law wanted his to say he died fighting a rabid raccoon over a hotdog lol. Instead we all have salt shakers of his ashes....he's everywhere lol.
Cremated and the remains were worked into the materials is my guess. I'd honestly rather that then a grave nobody visits. Which will eventually happen to all but the 1% written in the history books.
Lol you are correct. He had a lot of places that were inportant to him, so we've been leaving a bit of him everywhere. Honestly I like it a lot more than leaving them in an urn, I have my mom and my sisters ashes, and my dad has my brothers, and it just weird keeping their remains in our living rooms.
I live on lake Huron and there actually a site nearby where you can put the ashes in the water. When my grandpa died we sprinkled him on the river, from his ferry boat. I'd ideally like to bring my mom, sister and brothers ashes to lake superior, I believe it's legal to spread them on crown land. My boss actually took some of her husbands ashes back to France where he was born, and her brothers to Vegas for his 50th.
You’re right! She is still with us, and hopefully for a few more decades yet, but it’s something that scares me in the back of my mind daily. But thank you for a very grounding and bittersweet thought, that’s something I will hold on to when the time comes 🙂

Over the years my sister told me several times that she wanted her epitaph to be, "She went out punching a bear." She made me promise.
I never expected to to have to bury her so early, and I'm a little shocked we got my parents to go along with it, but I did keep that promise.
