This is a really diverse area to explore so surely you can find a suitable resting spot for your ashes that will allow you to truly go out in style.

Either way, for that remote African burial spot, you can get all the seclusion to rest here for all eternity.

This place is full of rock art done by the aborigines and many places to spread your ashes.
