I’m leaving this decision up to those that remain. It won’t matter to me at that point.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Dig for me a really deep hole, pile all my guns,saddles ect around it and let them that show up pick what they want then rake whats left in the hole with me and cover it up. Then plant a mesquite tree on it.

Seems to me that if they just put you in the ground without embalming, without a steel coffin or concrete vault, the same thing would be accomplished. Me, I will be cremated. Embalming is a creepy practice, so are wakes with an embalmed corpse laying in a box and having people stare at it. Saw both my parents that way and I guarantee it ain't going to happen to me. Throw me in the ground without a box and call it good. Same deal for me except I would rather be cremated.
Its all right to be white!!

The Bible indicates that we will arise with transformed bodies. I see that as the same body but transformed into something perfect, like Jesus at the Transfiguration. There's no body so bad off that God can't transform it.
Most certainly there's no warning against cremation. If it destroyed a person's hope for heaven, God would have told us. He wants everyone in heaven and he wouldn't kick a person out because his spouse cremated him.

A friend had her ashes loaded into some fireworks mortars. A fireworks display was set off at a evening dinner attended by her friends.

I want the cheapest send-off possible.
If it were up to me I would have them lay me out on a couple of old tractor tires and light it up.
But here in Arkansas you can be buried in a pine box so I already have mine built and using it for storage in the shop until I go.

Wife doesn't like the idea of creamation, I told her it won't matter to me do what you like.
