Surely This Is The Way For A Frugal Bastard To Go
I don't know if you have heard but we will soon be able to be buried standing up. Here's the article.
I guess this is the scenario:
A cheap bastard dies.
He doesn't want a lot of money to be wasted on a traditional burial.
None of his friends are cannibals.
He goes for a cheap burial.
No headstone is included.
He's placed in a box, a hole is dug, after the cows are shooed away first, the box is placed into the hole feet first and then covered over with dirt.
All for about A$1000.
Sounds nice and cheap to me. I wonder if I can be buried standing on my head. Only problem is that Victoria is the only state in Australia where this has been approved. I wouldn't be caught dead in Victoria. I may have to live a little longer so that some WA company can get approval for the vertical burial.
Why don't you save yourself the trouble and the money & have your family throw a big bonfire with you as the Fuel of Honor?
ReplyDeletehahaha, newyorkmoments.. fuel of honor. i'm going for the creamation when i die. none of this taking up space in the ground thing. besides, we need to save that space for all the garbage we produce.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do mean "Fuel" and not "Fool" of Honour.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I would like to donate my body to science when I go. I don't know if the scientists would be too keen on it. I have given my permission for my organs to be donated when I die. Some other poor bastards will need them more than me.
