Buffistas

Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

If you're cremated, you can fit many more people in the family plot, as it turns out...

My cousin, when she bought her family plot (mixed burial and cremation... repositories?) added a couple of extra cremation spaces just in case any of her cousins (she only has five of us altogether, I think), you know, needed a place. Really, kind of touching.

Eeek! Like, shoving cremains up grandma's ass?!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Kids in high school used to ask my twin sister if I was a witch. @@ If only.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I fully intend to live to a ripe old age, but if any of my organs are still worth having when I shuffle off this mortal coil I want them donated to anyone who could use them. The rest of me can be cremated and buried (not scattered -- like Hec, I want to stay in one place).

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It seems weird, but I kind of like the crash test dummy idea.

I feel like I've been enough of a crash test dummy in life.

Stoopid gravity.

Heh. Over Christmas my sister and I had this conversation, and agreed that we both want anything donated that can be, except the face. Cause that's just creepy. Hands are ok, but face is out. And then cremation, stone if someone else still living wants one, but for the love of god, just don't put us in the back of Aunt Pam's closet!! Which is to say, I got around to asking where grandpa was buried, anyway--I remember his funeral, some 15 years ago, but...and mom said "oh, I think in Aunt Pam's closet. So is grandma"

If only we'd had sensors on you.

Ew, dude! (Hec, that is.) [ETA: for the cremains/repository comment, not Cass and sensors]

Yah - I am as one with JZ (organ donation), with a side of tommyrot (Remains in Spaaaaaaaace!!!!), including the thought of, really, kind of a waste of resources. Maybe if I save room in my carbon footprint now...
