Ashes to Ashes

Abby: Mom, why do you want to have yourself made into ashes when you die?

Me: I'm not set on it, but I've known a number of godly people who have done it that way, I like the idea, and I think it would be neat to have my ashes sprinkled.

Abby: Um...I think I'd just keep you in a jar.

actually the jar is kind of comforting, like you get to keep a little piece of your loved one.
John said when i die he's gonna make me feel at home and sprinkle my ashes on the Wal Mart parking lot.

Kara Jo said...

Kristi, LOL!

I am scared of being cremated...I fear that I would wake up in the roaster from being unconscious and be like....Oh crap.

Kara Jo said...

I am creeped out by the thought of being buried. And of having people staring at me in a coffin.
:)

Pam said...

I'm all for ashes.

Danielle said...

I am creeped out when I go to the cemetery for a funeral and see other family members', who have yet to pass, gravesites, complete with their names. Don't think I could do that!

LadyD said...

So what is the answer here ladies.......There must be a better way...Let's think of something....
Rapture?

Carla said...

I am all for ashes. After organ donation.
Walmart parking lot for me too. Or Aldi. :)

Karli, we'll swirl around in the wind.

Kara Jo said...

Carla, Aldi, eh? Boy you're loyal.
:) I was thinking a nice lake or something.

Kristi & Carla...The ashes my friend are blowin' in the wind. The ashes are blowin' in the wind.

Bad joke. Very very bad joke.

Carla said...

Hey, it's your blog. ha

A lake might be nice. Whatev.

I don't care one way or the other, as long as my funeral is a celebration!

I think the idea of preserving my body and putting it in a box in the ground is really creepy.

Pam said...

Anyone up for the freezer method? You know...just in case.
