It’s in the bag…..

Does the job. I got my urn in the garage. $2300 and gone!

A Sack-ri-fice?

Or a crash in a Yugo. No extrication, just dump it in a hole.

There is the “Ice flow on Hudson Bay” option; if you live within walking distance of Hudson Bay.

Just wrap in linen.

When I lived on a yacht back in the 1980’s you would see a lot of the boxes ashes came in washed up on beaches, after the ashes were scattered the boxes were dumped. Only just realised I should have reported them for littering.

Our cremation services include tossing your burning bag onto someone’s porch for them to stomp out!

It will only cost you the mortgage to your house ! ! !

Last week, I was in the local library and there was a white board available for people to write on. The top of the board said “It’s time for spring cleaning, but what is one thing you could never throw out?” People put their responses on the board. One was “Grandpa’s urn.”

Send me to Glory in a Glad bagDon’t waste a fancy coffin on my bonesJust put me out on the curb, next TuesdayLet the sanitation local carry me home.

Senator Belfry is pre-bagged all the time.

“For $10, 2 men take the body and do God knows what.”—Nichols and May

Sounds good to me!

Great idea

Roll them up in a blanket and tie them to a fork in a big tree.

The ancient Romans preferred cremation. They’d put their ashes in urns, beautiful urns. They were so beautiful that 18 centuries later, people would dig the urns up, dump out the ashes, and take the urns home. Moral: get buried in something ugly.

A paper bag works for me. It’ll hold the ashes nicely and after I’m dumped, decompose in the landfill.

A brown bag green burial.

this puts the FUN in funeral

Gives a whole new meaning to the term that someone is “Brown bagging it”.

Since I already made an ash of myself…I’ll fit right in…the bag.

When I pass, hope it’s on a boat at sea. Just toss my remains overboard.

Don’t like the idea of people staring at me. Box it is.

That’s not as silly as it sounds. A lot of “green” places are going for quickly biodegradable methods, like caskets that are essentially cardboard.

“Green” burial!

At least it’s not a plastic bag.

When I die I want to have my ashes tossed from the top of the Empire State Building. Hundreds of people will be bound to shed a tear.

That would be perfect for me!

Sold!!!

I don’t know if I should wait until the last minute or start planning now.

I would like a recycled wine box….

Wow

There is an option that has been gaining popularity: The wrap you in a sheet, stick you in the ground and plant a tree in your face.

The tree needs the fertilizer.
