I want to be cremated and then buried at Lakewood Cemetery by Lake Calhoun. When I used to run I would run down there and through the cemetery. Now I ride my bike up there and walk through it in the summer. It is one of the most beautiful places in Minneapolis.

Did you know that they can pack a portion of your ash into a firework and shoot you off over the San Francisco Bay? I thought that sounded really cool.

That is cool too!

To tell you the truth I don't really care that much. I would like to be cremated but I don't know why.

I always said "chop me up and dump me in the ocean" but that might not be practical. But really, I'll be dead, I don't really care.

It is pretty far to the ocean.

Ocean, lake, whatever!

i definitely want to be cremated, but after that i don't really care. jake wants me to be put in a jar, then behind plexiglass in his stone so we can be together for all eternity. :)

my dad is going to be cremated, but i'm trying to talk him into the lifegem program so he can be made into a diamond for me. he's totally into it, but i'm not sure if i can sell him on the price - it's not cheap to last forever!

I want to be buried directly into the ground, no coffin, and eaten by creepy crawlies. Anywhere will do, I won't really notice XD

Exactly. It doesn't matter, you will be dead. I just like that place and I would like to think I would bring someone else joy when they look at my grave.
