How would you like to be buried?
Long road trips, magazines, and newspapers without the TV
allow us to have actual conversations and get to know each other. A recent Time magazine article reported on
the fact that cremation is on the rise (now 51% of all burials). The Christian faiths have are now allowing it
(this happened in 1997).
Megan Dillon is not sure how she wants to go. “I am not quite sure, and have a nice long life to live.”
I, Jon Rachiele, would like to be cremated and have my ashes poured inside the dry wall of the new house. To which I would haunt the house after the family moves out. My favorite scare tactic will be to make socks mysteriously disappear when left on the hardwood floors, couch, or piled up on the side of the bed.
That article discusses how the cremains (cremated remains)
are scattered, spread, or stored. As a
result, here is how each of us would like to be treated after our deaths (all
of which, according to the article are options currently available).
Ian Rachiele (the
pyromaniac of the household) would like to be cremated and his ashes stuffed
into fireworks.
Devin Rachiele wants
an open casket so her old boyfriends can kiss her one last time, cremated, and
her ashes mixed in with the cement grout of the Kardasian’s house. However, the Kardasians need to sign a
contract that they will never move, and the feud needs to take place for at
least one full episode of the show.
Nolan Rachiele
(the ultimate coach potato) wants to be cremated and stored in an urn either in
the shape of a TV remote control or a game controller.
We agreed that Krista
Rachiele will be carried around post mortem in ash form in a back pack so
that we can say that she was at all the important family events. For example, memories of Devin’s wedding
would include the phrase, “Well, at least Mom was there.” To which Devin replied, you mean Mom is gonna
die before I get married? And both
Krista and I replied, you’ll be married at 40, Mom will live a long rich life until
then.Megan Dillon is not sure how she wants to go. “I am not quite sure, and have a nice long life to live.”
