(no subject)

The subject of death planning came up today. Someone mentioned they'd paid for their cremation, had a plan, and also had their urn already, though the urn made them uncomfortable to see in their closet.

I don't like the idea of cremation particularly but I love the idea of making my own urn. I wouldn't mind putting it on a north shelf altery thing in my livingroom. It does occur to me, though, that I don't think there's anyone who would want a container of my ashes.

Nor, really, does my body belong resting in the built environment.

But I might make myself a wheat urn anyhow. The prototyping is just seed jars, right? My favourite potter tutorial guy just put out a tutorial on making lidded jars.

yes, large lidded jars could be used for many things! especially seeds.

Good for you for thinking about this. Although when you die things cease to be a problem it is a serious pain for those who are left behind to clean up the mess. I'm still trying to figure out what is going on with my Dad's world, something that could have been fixed with an hours conversation.

Even something simple as "dope me up and drop me in a dumpster" makes things exceptionally simple for everyone else.

Ah well.

Yeah, it really didn't seem fair to leave that kind of decision to them when I know it would weigh on them afterwards. Seems like a poor reward for being the folks who care for me.
