Cremations and the ethics of the cremation business

In Arizona, they found two large pits of human bones that were buried en masse by a crematorium.  The bodies were supposed to be cremated and interned in a memory garden. While the law wasn't broken, ethically there should be more respect for the human remains. Which is how we feel when we talk about our approach to cremation and the scattering of your ashes. It should be done with reverence and never just dumped in a hole like at the land fill.

How to go out in style
You need a plan that includes more than just your wishes to be cremated. After all, do you really want your ashes left in a closet somewhere or accidentally thrown into the trash bin? The plan start with your wish to be cremated and end with the location that you want your urn interred or your ashes spread on the ground.

Pick a crematorium
Step 1: Specify where you want your body cremated. Be sure to pick one that has a reputation for doing what they are contracted to do. You will need to buy some type of container or include the purchase of that container within the contract.

Executor
Step 2: Select a person who will pick up your ashes after the cremation. You would be surprised how many urns filled with ashes are left at the crematorium and forgotten about. Pick a family member or friend and they are the ones who have responsibility for your plan to go out in style. You need to discuss the whole plan with them and get their approval as an executor.

Memorial Service
Step 3: Decide on where you want to have your memorial service and what the theme will be for it. A lot of people select the theme that goes along with their final resting spot. While others will pick something that defines their life. A painter will show their art work or someone will show the crafts they made as a hobby. Be sure and provide a beverage to toast a life well lived which is a very important part of going out in style.

Spreading the Ashes
Step 4: Pick your spirit whisperer. A spirit whisperer is the person who will transport your ashes to their final resting spot. They will say a prayer, read a poem, or give a eulogy while returning you back to whence you came. Depending on where you have picked for your final resting spot, you need to pick someone capable of carrying out your instructions. This may or may not be your next of kin. You can hire someone to deposit your urn or spread your ashes in remote locations.

Final Resting Place
Step 5: Determine where you final resting place will be by searching for the most scenic place or a favorite place of yours that defined your life. A favorite vacation or a favorite fishing spot is selected by many. Some select a place they always wanted to visit but never had the chance.

If you can answer these 5 questions, write then down and discuss them with your family. Make your plan and reservations in advance. Provide the funding for the expenses and you will be all set to go out in style
