That's even better, I'm off in a bit to get my Jameson refill.

Cremated.

A casket is not very big and I'm a bit claustrophobic.

I'm going to be buried at sea. I've researched it and there are two places in the UK where it is permitted. One of them is off The Needles on the Isle of Wight coast. It's a lovely spot and I've sailed and swum there a few times. As I tell my friends and family bring your fishing rods, you might as well make a day out of it. The only trouble is I'm not planning it for another 40 years

By the time this becomes an issue I'm hoping death is a thing of the past

If not, I don't care. I'll just be bitter that science sucks.

Same here. Burial.

Therefore, burial is our way.

My Church recently installed a Collumbarium (SP?). It's inside the Church and consists of many vaults big enough for two urns. So, unless I lose alot of weight, looks like I'll be cremated, just like the Vikings and Hector!!! While I respect other's religous beliefs, I have a hard time thinking about becoming a pile of goo in a casket. Much less being eaten by worms, being moldy, and the waste of space of a graveyard.

I don't care I will be kicking up my heals and having a grand old time meeting up with my various relatives and freinds that beat me to it!

Having said that cremation is the way to go for me, cheap and final, no graves to mourn at! Cheapest coffin as well!

You and I share similar sentiments on this issue.

Cremated. How morbid to be stuck in a box with worms eating your corpse, slowly rotting away. No thanks. Take my ashes and throw them in the wind.

I understand. With three ex-wives I have done enough of that already.

Be careful of what you ask for, Martin. On my next trip to England, I would love to catch up with you and dear old Jimbits to raise a glass and some hell!
