Burial in Africa

[wesheltonj]

Depends on how good of lawyer you have make up the will.
You can easily have your wishes put in that if there not carried out no one gets skit.

Depends on your state.

Me I want to be put in to a little Ga grave yard.
Don’t care if it ashes or grave. I think over 7 generations of my dads family is there. And about that many generations have went to that church I was told at least 98% of the graves are family in some way through all the old family lines.

That is absolutely awesome!

Business sign in Bella-Bela Limpopo, interior RSA. Don’t ask me, I just took the pic.

I can’t remember country, maybe most countries… but seems kind of a big deal about entering with cremains without proper paperwork. A dear friend has requested that I spread some of their ashes in Scotland in a pretty place of my choosing. I guess I’ll cross that smuggling bridge when I get to it.

I just want to go out the same way I came in, bare ass and broke.

Fry me up and throw me in a mason jar. A posthole digger will do the rest.

Or the wind. Pretty sure I won't give a hoot.

(1) In a Tibetan 'sky burial', your corpse is dismembered and thrown to vultures (who gather daily for the feast).

(2) 'The Guardian', today, has some photographs of Ghanaian coffins, in the shape of a crab, fish, truck, tomato, teapot, pineapple, and whale shark.

I quoted a mate here once who said Bald , Naked with a mild fixation for boobs, And unfortunately he is gone but he was good value

Buried? Nah can't see it happening unless you were someone of importance to the locals there.
Cremated? Certainly, can't see the problem with spreading ashes over the location you fell.

It is a bit different situation, but a very good friend of mine passed from cancer before we were able to get to Africa. I brought some of his ashes to Nyakasanga with me and spread them into the wind at the end of the hunt. Felt that he was with me all along the hunt.

I am sure if one dies on a Safari he could get cremated locally and ashes spread.

How did you take them in?

I had a jar full not the whole thing.

Just my thoughts is funerals and burials are for the family not the person who died. If I die hunting, no matter by heart attack or by teeth of a predator or horns of a Buffalo it sure the hell beats dying drooling on myself in an old folks home.

Reminds me of the joke:

I'd like to go out peacefully in my sleep, like my grandpa. Not screaming and crying like all the other people in the car he was driving.
