I want to ingest a big dose of thorium or something before I die, then have my ashes stored in a vaseline glass urn. Hopefully I can get radioactive enough to make the urn glow. My son doesn’t think that would be as übercool as I do, though. He threatens to dispose of me. My ex’s dad’s ashes were buried in his motorcycle helmet.
Gonzo comic journalist and druggie Hunter S Thompson, who ate a 45ACP round whilst on the phone with his ex-wife, was cremated and shot out of a cannon.
So BobG, precedent has been established.
Me, I want to be cremated and scattered in a cool valley of the Smokey Mountains. My wife wants us to lug her ashes to the top of Long’s Peak in Colorado.
Our kids think we’re both nuts. They may be right.

I plan on being cremated, but I’d rather have my ashes shot out of a cannon.

I think it’s rude. Keep your ashes to yourself.

Can I get my ashes integrated into the casing of a big f-ing Spider-type mortar pyrotechnic shell? I want it fired off at midnight during my wake.

The “Attention to Colors” cannon at Camp Perry. Be specific.
There’s also the option of dissolving in nitromethane, and being run through a streamliner on the Salt Flats.
“Smithereens” don’t get respect any more.

The Armorer shot an old friend’s ashes out of the Castle’s cannon on the Fourth of July.

A recently deceased friend left instructions to be shot out of his cannon, in his backyard. I’m looking forward to it.
Just have to remember to get upwind.

I didn’t know you could cremate ashes.

Lyle, you just have to use a really, really hot fire. I recommnd an atomic hydrogen torch.
