It also goes against every fiber in my being to disrespect the dead in such a manor, especialy when there are all kinds of plastic skelitons for sale that look exactly like the real thing. One of the "Corporal Acts of Mercy" is to burry the dead. Human remains are "temples" and should be treated as such.

Mike

and thats the center of the shrubbery maze, it comes down to belief or not.....like many of our current issues.......either you believe in god and an after life or you dont and that pretty much determines on how you view most topics

Personally I agree with Mike on this, heck, I spent 2yrs on the phone calling places in LA and eventually flew to California, paid $50 and got my grandfathers ashes from a "lost and found" vault where they had been stashed for 27yrs because after he died no one cared what happened to them and never did anything with them, so in a vault they went. I couldnt stand the idea of them being lost so I found them and brought them home with me.....

But you knew they were lost.

Tell y'all what. Let's compromise. How about I finds me a hobo who ain't got no family, and no money for a funeral, and when he dies, I buy his bones for eight bucks. I'll even give him the eight bucks while he's alive, so he can enjoy a nice bottle of Ripple and a baloney sandwich. Then, when he's dead, his hobobones will occupy a central spot in my yard display, so he'll earn the admiration and respect in death that he never had in life.

We all cool with that?

A hobo?!

I was going to will me own bones for yer haunt but not now.

Stick figures. Is there any complex concept they can't illuminate...?

I spend too much time on that site.

Better than spending all your time on the websites Spooky and iHaunt frequent....
