Funny about the squemish part. My wife has claustrophobia and has said she does not want to be put in a dark box ande buried in the cold earth.
Talking to my mom while visiting last Thanksgiving, asked her what she wanted.............. she wasn't sure!!! I said 'would you like to be buried'? She responded, with a very proper British accent, being England born and bred and all............ 'Oh no I couldn't stand to be put in the cold, wet ground'.... Um!, Ok 'how about cremation'? and again 'Oh no, I couldn't stand to be burned up'...... !?!?!? Not being able to think of much else I asked 'well how about burial at sea'??? to wit 'don't be stupid, I can't swim, can I'????
Exasperated............. 'I could check with NASA about having you sent to the moon'..............................
She has agreed to cremation.............
