"Ashes" Topic

A famous musician recently shared that he asked his mother why she supported his music interest, and she told him that she had once wanted to be a performer. She has since passed away, and in her honor, he sprinkles some of her ashes whenever he plays Carnegie Hall or other prestigious venues.

When you pass on, would you like some of your ashes sprinkled at your favorite gaming venues?

I dont think my friends would appreciate my ashes dumped around their house.

No, but I wouldn't object to them being mixed with PVA glue and used to texture figure bases!

Nope, not being cremated & being buried properly.

Its actually a noted hazard at sporting venues where some fans have their friends sprinkle their ashes on the field. After cremation & processing there are still sharp bone fragments in the 'ashes' and players can be injured by them. Then, every few years the surface turf at major venues is replaced and the old turf and several inches of field soil goes to landfill – hardly a lasting memorial.

Why would I, being dead, care ?????

Isn't what's left basically "bone meal?" I dumped my Sister-in-Laws in the garden 4 years ago. Finally found something she could actually do right!

I have some old Prince August 54mm Knight molds. I tell my sons to mix some of my ashes with the casting metal and turn me into toys.

They think I am kidding.

I told my wife I want to be buried in an Italianate mausoleum carved from a single flawless block of Carrara marble (my second choice, my wife vetoed suttee.)

She says she will have me cremated. I will need to get used to the heat where I am going.

Back when I was still Civil War reenacting, one of our group members died. At his request we were given part of his ashes to be added to the gunpowder in blank cartridges. These were used to fire a volley in his memory.

No.

Uuuuuuuummmmmmm no.

Apparently you can have ashes mixed into fireworks. I think that I would like that. After a game my gaming buddies can take the rockets to a field and scatter me in spectacular fashion. Of course with my luck I'd roll a one an d the rocket wouldn't go off.

Buying a plot of land in the back of beyond, digging a great big hole and arraying my armies according to period and scale, might take my book collection with me…won't be of use to anyone else.
Might have a chute, and forward my mail to that location, expect I will still be sending away for stuff up to….

I'm more concerned about what happens to all the games and miniatures. And unfinished projects.

I want an airplane to scatter my ashes over a lead mine.

Well, this has gotten me to thinking. So often I've heard that people want to pass on while asleep in bed. NOT ME!

I'm hoping I go in heavy Expressway traffic with the "cruise control" on. Now, I don't want to kill anyone but I sure would like to make just one more big mess of things before I go.

people want to pass on while asleep in bed. NOT ME!

Not me either. I want to die like my grandfather – drunk and asleep.

Not screaming like the other guys in the car.

No, where I game someone would mistake me for some kind of flocking material. Besides, its already in writing that I'm to be mixed with the ashes of my deceased dogs and scattered off the Scenic Overlook in Va. I want to go home in the end!

Never wanted anyone obligated to visit a piece of ground where my remains are.

Yeah, me and my dog together forever. Under a tree somewhere.

I'm to be cremated and thrown on my wife if she remarries.

I wanna die at 90, jumping out of the window of a young woman's bedroom to escape her jealous boyfriend.

I'm with Tyrion Lannister on this one.
