JFC, you planted the wrong one! Take my brother Dave, please, and plant him deep. If he says he ain't dead yet, plant him anyway. He's either lying or will be dead after enough time under the sod.

He got put away proper, sorry again for your loss. Starting age 60 I get regular junk mail from the Neptune Society, a pre-paid cremation outfit. I need to look into it.

That is a right proper send off. Kudos to you for doing what he would have liked. Had a close friend and hunting pard die a couple years ago. He had no family, just me and a couple other friends. His wishes were to be cremated and shot out of a cannon over his favorite hunting spot. So guess what we did....  ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/iynk1hA.jpg)

Might not be a bad idea.
I have not made any permanent arrangements, but I have left my family know what I wish to be done if I should happen to suddenly go to room temperature!😀
Cheapest possible cremation, and stick me in a mason jar to be pitched off that “Big Rock” on the mountain where we always hunted..
I hated doing this in January weather. Bitter cold, and a four inch heavily crusted snow and ice made for treacherous walking up that hill with a heavy casket.
We all felt a little self conscious, getting dressed up and putting on heavy winter boots.😀
There were 8 of us pall bearers, which is tricky with 8 feet in the length of 7 or 8 feet of space, especially with ice under foot
If it becomes necessary again, I think maybe I’ll rent a snowblower and make a path ahead of time.

I love the idea of a cannon! Maybe the idea of taping a 1/4 stick to the jar would work without the bouther a renting and moving a cannon!😀
I had a cousin near Oakland CA whose request was to be cremated and her ashes scattered in a local Bay.
Her funeral party were warned that in California, it’s against the law to simply dump anyone’s ashes.
No difference at all between scattering ashes or illegally dumping a corpse!
I know CA does some crazy crap, but the lack of common sense in this case is astounding!🤬

Very sorry for your loss, but sounds like a great send off.
