“My ex-wife came up with what I thought was a marvelous idea: when you die you get cremated, but not at top temp, so there is more ash; the ash is then mixed with plaster of paris and made into a sculpture which can be made intoa lamp or stauary in a graden, or even mix with concrete to make a concrete bench.”

I think that is done in some of the various county parks out here on the coast. These benches are more along a resin basis versus concrete.

My wife and I have said use half of our ashesw in the same bench by the ocean and the other half to gether in our church’s columbarium to be in two of our favorite places.

What is done with the body once the consciousness leaves for parts on the 'other side' is near infinite. Lest we confuse the body witht he consciousness, that church bench will not be 'holding' your consciousness just the ashes left from your body.

The term 'alive' has a few levels, from the cellular level to the organ level to the organism level to the consciousness level.
