I am okay with cremation and even tongue in cheek humor. Treading on the "honor thy mother" commandment is a little much.

I loved your article and your sense of humor. My husband, who had a lot of struggles in this life, blaming most on God, desired to be cremated and his ashes buried in the old family pasture where he had had a sweet spiritual experience with his grandfather. The week of his death we found out that piece of pasture had just been permanently secured to remain in the family who gave permission for his ashes to be buried there

Loved your tongue in Cheek article. You approached a taboo subject with great humor. Thanks. My husband and I were just talking recently about the change in what the Church says about cremation. I have always wanted to be cremated for the same reasons your husband stated and I am a cheapskate and don't like to waste money on something I can't enjoy. Kudo's!

Thanks for this one. When people ask me if The Lord will know where I am in the resurrection, I tell them HE knows where everything is, including those who died on sinking boats who became 'fish poop'.
GOD IS AMAZING!
