I’d be quite happy for my nearest and dearest to dump my mortal remains in a skip. What difference does it make? I’ll be too dead to notice anyway.
I’m not quite as glum as that, but as far as my corpse goes I couldn’t care less, whatever is cheapest / most useful for whoever I leave behind really. In my mind I’ve always separated the person from the body after death. I loved my grandparents dearly, but I’ve never visited their graves after they were buried.
when we got my mum’s ashes I was surprised how much there was. It took over 10 minutes with everyone having a go to get them scattered.
They don’t always give you all of them either – they fill whichever vessel you want and dispose of the rest. It’s quite a lot, about 2.5Kgs or 3 litres in volume for a 12 Stone person.
