It's good to see the man's last wishes carried out. To many times someone steps in. Sarah and I have an agreement. I want cremated and a big party thrown.

A lot of the charter boats down on the Gulf Coast have started offering "funeral at sea" charters where they'll hold your funeral out on the water and scatter your ashes in the ocean at the end.

My granddad was an avid charter boat man. His ashes where spread on the inlet on an out going tide. That was back in the 50's.

King Crappie (Mike Pearson) and I had a mutual friend who use to fish with us on my Guide boat. After a couple of years after his Cremation . His wife finally decided to let him go ..She requested that his Ashes be placed in the Caney ..

So Mike and relatives and I had a funeral service for Allen one Crisp and beautiful day in the Fall of 2001in My Guide Boat ... . <'TK><

Yea... MdTN is a youngster ;)
I doubt I'll be around in 2034 although my elders have gone well into the 70's and early 80s... but I lived awful fast and hard in my younger days :)
