What do you think about this? Disney Doesn't Want You Spreading Your Loved One's Ashes at Their Parks (But People Do It Anyway) - LaughingPlace.com I always told my kids that, when the time comes, instead of planting me in the ground in some sad and lonely cemetery, they should use the money they'd pay for a casket and funeral, and take a trip to Disneyland. Spreading ashes would be more symbolic, I know, but I'd much rather people "mourn" at the happiest place on earth and remember all the good times we had. And, couldn't you sneak the ashes in and spread them a little more discreetly? Who's to know? My Mom died almost 3 years ago, is buried at a cemetery close by, and I don't visit the site very often. It's a sad thing, looking at all those headstones. But, I don't feel like my Mom is there. Her spirit has flown. Also, I know a guy who's Mom died several years ago and was cremated. All her life she wanted to travel but never really had the means to do so. Now, whenever he goes somewhere, he takes a little bit of Mom with him and sprinkles her ashes.
Yeah, I figured if I had my kids take a symbolic amount of ashes to Disneyland they could go unnoticed. I mean would someone leave a full urn or leave a big pile? And think about how much sweeping and vacuuming goes on at Disneyland. Nobody is going to rest there forever.
Reminds me of that old joke: "When I die, I want my remains scattered at Disneyland. Also, I don't want to be cremated."
I've made it clear that I would prefer either of two options: A: Have my body cremated, and mailed to the national dead-letter office B: The Klingon funeral: Scream, fit to raise the dead, and warn them that I'm on my way, then take the body out with the trash. I suddenly find myself thinking of a "brick joke" from an episode of Night Court: an electrician mistook the ashes of somebody named Herb, for a container of herb tea.
We definitely have similar senses of humor. My kids orders are to do whatever is fastest and cheapest. Then have a party.
