Everyone who might have a say in the matter knows I do *not* want to be cremated, and I'm particularly horrified by folks keeping ashes in their homes or as jewelry, which even the ancient Egyptians didn't do. But, I know funerals etc are expensive, so I may end up cremated anyway, if my hubby dies before me. However we actually own a family vault, which is almost full since my parents-in-law died, but has enough room for my husband's and my caskets, if we have money enough for caskets. So there's definitely room for ashes. If that happens, I want my ashes in a paper bag or cardboard box left on the dirt floor to decompose there, or better yet, scrape a hole and pour my ashes in.
