There's no specific instruction in mine as to how to dispose of my body, there's specific instruction that I ultimately don't give a shit, instead. Everything goes to my eldest son (which is why I'm working hard on his ass as a person - talk about rough clay, lol).
If he wants to use me as chum on a shark trip and he can get away with it...and that will help him get closure, fine. He can do whatever the hell he wants and whatever will satisfy him, econo-oven is an option. I actually want my ashes under the hearth of a house I want to build..but since I want him and his and all of mine to live in it forever..if he thinks I'm an asshole and wants to spread me out over the nearest convenient breeze just to finally be rid of me...what's most important to me, is that my will makes it explicitly clear that I'm down for that..that I understand. He can plant my body in a coffin in the backyard under a tree just so he can come bitch me out when he's stressed, too.
It's a shame I won't be there to see how he handles it all, lol. The ultimate irony of living and dying is that the final judgement made on your person is something that you can never be a party to. IDK, but I like to think my stepdad would have called his side of the family a bunch a catty bitches.
