A discussion of placing your ashes somewhere with a view or going out in style would not be complete without mentioning The Bucket List. It is a movie where the two stars Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman get cancer then try some of the things that they have missed in life. In the end they are cremated and placed side by side in a Chock Full of Nuts coffee can up on Mount Everest. The last thing on their list was a majestic view.

The coffee can was selected because Morgan Freeman had an aversion to the word URN. So if you are think you don’t want to go in an URN, any old Coffee can would do or you could just spread your ashes as we here at PyreFyre think you should do.

As far as the bucket list goes, it is always a good idea to sit down and think about what you want to do in this life. It is never too late to write that list. The more you do, the less regrets you will have in your last days. One of the things you will find about your bucket list is that it will change as you age. So be prepared to adjust it as you go through life. Don’t do away with the old one but use it to see how your goals in life change over time.

It is important that you spend some deep thought on your bucket list. Don’t make it a list of a current whim or something that could take the joy out of the rest of your life. It should never hurt anyone or anything. It can be long or short but if you stick to the things you really want to do then the list will be manageable. Really think it through and make it consistent with your personality and Going out with Style.
