I have mom's ashes in a box and have no clue what to do with them. Before she passed she had talked about being sprinkled in our garden. But we have moved and don't have our own garden any more. Plus SHE was the one with a green thumb. Me - I'm luck to keep a silk plant alive.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yay, Phillies!
I'm sayin'.
That's cool, Hec.
I think so. I had a brief moment of thinking, "I wish I had the kind of parents that would think it was cool that I got cited in the New York Times." Which was, unfortunately, followed by the thought, "I wish had parents."
Oh well, select Buffistas think it's cool.
I think it's freakin' awesome! I was distracted by candy pronunciation and baseball, so I neglected to post that thought, though.
Super cool.
It is super cool. And I don't want to be cremated unless I can specify whose face to throw my ashes in.
Definitely cool, Hec. Also validation.
I kinda like the shroud thing. Although coolest burial I've come across so far is to be entombed in New Orleans, because the tombs heat up so much that within a year most bodies are naturally cremated.
Living in LA it unlikely that I would end up buried in NO. I'll have to look into whether or not the mausoleums in LA do the same thing.
Definitely cool, Hec. Also validation.
sniff I'm only an expert on a handful of things, but by gum I know my Spy Jazz, Bubblegum and Tom Waits!
Some guy just sent me a picture of his wife and daughter to put up on my provocateuse site. Not as traumatic as the nude full frontal self-portrait I once received, but quite missing the point. He seemed so proud of them in the email. I'm not sure how to reply to him.
I'm late to the chocolate discussion, but these are my favourites: [link] [link] [link] All Cadbury. I missed real Cadbury chocolate so much during my year in the US that my family had to send me care packages full of it. SO good.
Maltesers are also nice. But they're Mars chocolate. Not so good.
Burrell,
if you can trace a family line to NO and the family had a plot, you used to be able to have rights to use it.
