I have heard of being thrifty but this is thinking out side of the box.

I wonder which state had to issue the death certificate? On the lighter side I bet he was a cheap riding companion. Not too many meals and didn't complain much.

Well I feel she is pretty sharp for not reporting it until they were home. He died on the train, no one knew it until she reported it and he had already paid his fare. No harm, no foul!

i've already instructed my children that when i die, in order to save on burial expenses, i wish to be dismembered and mailed to my enemies.

I wonder if one can be legally buried at sea?

boysda · 09-06-2006, 09:09 AM

Yes , you can .

Next question would be do you have to be embalmed? There are some states that require it even if you are being cremated.

I've never heard of such a requirement for burial at sea , it would defeat the purpose IMO . Once you're outside the 12 mile limit it's nobody's business but your own anyway . If in doubt call Boysda ...

LOL... That's funny.

I told my kids I wanted to be cremated, loaded into shotgun shells and taken out for a round of sporting clays... Then my wife decided we needed to buy cemetary plots so now she'll be able to nag me for eternity.
