I think a funeral pyre would be cool.
I confess, this is mostly about laughing at the colorado libs in the story. By all accounts, Belinda Ellis was a free spirit. During the last years of her life, she lived with her husband and her boyfriend, Skip Benson, 59.
"We had a friendship between the three of us that very few people could share," said Randy Ellis, 51. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110131/ap_on_re_us/us_mountain_funeral_pyre Talk about a rocky mountain high. Amid the scent of juniper and burning wood was a smell of marijuana from a bag that someone dropped into the pyre. Someone joked that perhaps they also should have poured in some Pabst Blue Ribbon.

I've been present when bodies were burned. Do you really want the last memories of your loved one being that of the entire funeral procession puking their guts out?

Makes more sense to me rather than dumping a butt load of money on a funeral home, embalming, casket, grave stone etc etc etc.
Wonder what it smells like... Bill |
|
I would bet that there is a law prohibiting it.
Big funeral lobbyists and all. |

Bill Take a couple gallons of rancid bacon fat and throw it into the fireplace. The sounds are worse. Fat frying and popping, organs bursting, etc. |

Is it wrong to feel that Libs should do this before they croak?

Something about watching a dead loved one burn doesnt appeal to me.

Lo, there do I see smelly hippies.
Lo, there do I see femnazi wiccans. And weirdos and wackos Lo, there do I see the line of libtards Back to the 1960s. |

Sounds OK to me. Needs a bigger pyre, though.
Embalming is just littering. |
|
At night, the pyres for the dead light up the sky.
It's medieval. |

I think 98% of people have no concept of how nauseating the experience is - not the least of it being the smell.

I want my pyre in a huge lake with a half a forrest worth of wood soaked in gasoline and old motor oil to be lit on fire with a flaming arrow
ETA: And can these fucking hipster hippie fuckfaces please find another beer to coddle around? I get self conscious at the register for carrying on a long standing family tradition of drinking some ol' pabst |

The pyre is supposed to be 10' in the air or better to keep onlookers from being overcome with the initial smoke.

On the scene a priest appears,

Yeah, pyres at sea are cool as hel but standing over a corpse and smelling and watching it boil and burst is pretty disgusting.

I would prefer a funeral pyre.
But I want to be completely obliterated, so my bones and teeth need to be burned with thermite. |
