I told my dad that I’m parting him out for scrap. All that titanium in his joints has to be worth something.

There was an outfit called “Happy Hunting Grounds” that used to provide the same service

They would put your ashes in Shot Shells, Duck Decoys and Fishing Lures, so that your pals could take you hunting and fishing again.

I am going to have my ashes loaded into an old oatmeal box and launched into orbit so people can look to the sky everyday and watch my ash flyby!

Umm, isn’t there risk that you may end up eating a wee bit of your loved ones if you hunt with these shells and cartridges?

I’ve had my eye on Dads gold fillings for some time now.

Been telling him that for years too.

There is a company that will extract the carbon from your remains, and synthesize a diamond.

When my mom passed away several months ago we got information about that company in a packet from the funeral home. They do pets too.

For some people, it’s the only bang they’ll ever get.

My brother in law used to have a Piper Cub. Some elderly
man approached him about flying him over the ocean so that
he could scatter his wife’s ashes. Somehow things went
wrong and poor Ethel blew all over the cockpit, in their
eyes, mouths, etc. Bro in law said he was still finding bits
of Ethel months later in the plane. He said the old gent
took it all in stride.
