I always tell my wife I want to be burned in the backyard, a-la Return of the Jedi. Somehow I don't think she'll go through with it though...
RIP Pete..

His name was Alejandro, his knick name growing up was Pito, it's what he went by when he moved to the US from Panama.
Everyone knew him as Pito. Kelly and I would text setting up times to play music an inquiring on the status of Pito with the spelling "Peto" all them years. Pito never knew it, and it wasn't until late last year, he told us it's spelled "Pito". But by then Kelly and I were just used to spelling it Peto.

Embalming always seemed disgusting to me.
I've told my wife that I want to be dynamited over Paris. I'll be dropped on a parachute, and then about 1000 feet up, BLAM! People will look up as little bits of my body rain down.
Is that too much to ask for?

I told my friend I didn't want to be embalmed. He said why so you could bloat up from the gasses and explode messing up your fancy casket. I said so bury me in a pine box behind the house.

There's always the option to donate your corpse to "science." What they do to these corpses, however, is disgusting to say the least.

I tell my wife to put me on my boat, set the autopilot to head out the Golden Gate, and light it on fire. Viking funeral!
Doubt it will happen.

I have mentioned this before on this forum, but If I go first, I would really like my gal to find a way to get my corpse out into the Pacific ocean along the coast so the Dungeness crab could get back at me for all of their kind I have consumed over the years.

I wouldn't want some gender confused STEM idiot disecting my corpse.
Michelle mentioned that when Pito's sisters come to town in a few weeks. She want's all of his friends to do a memorial jam session in his honor, after which she wants to go scatter his ashes on Hollywood Beach. The lady that was nice enough to let us all use a viewing room for our affair, then said.... "I didn't hear that." I asked her if that was illegal, she said yes, it has to be three miles out. No ashes off the bridge, spread on the beach, dumped in the everglades or spread in a river in Florida.

My wife said she’d like to be wrapped in a burlap sack and buried under a new tree which would grow using her body for fertilizer. It’s a pretty green way to be buried, I guess! If she goes first, I’ll do that for her.
After thinking about it a while, I might want that for myself too.

There is the Kiowa Indian method - put the dead body up on a large tree branch to recycle it through vultures and other carrion eaters.

I learned to fish for crabs just north of Half Moon Bay. Chinese friend taught me. Got 4 crabs, and felt bad throwing them into boiling water.
A few days later the police announced they found the bones of a homeless guy who had died and fallen in, and was stripped by the crabs. So I may have eaten crabs which ate the guy. The crabs had their revenge in a way.

The traditional Jewish funeral is within one day of death, maybe it's by sunset the next day, no embalming, in a plain pine box. I kind of like that idea, though there's not much time to arrange the funeral.
I think the Muslims do something very similar.
Maybe they were so quick to bury because they lived in hot places.

Actually it was in conjunction with his Sisters who both are in other countries and couldn't be here today. Short notice his ex-wife called me yesterday and said that the viewing would be today. She asked me to call of his friends and ask them to come. After I called and texted everyone and informed them all. This morning at I got a call at 8am she then told me, the funeral home was doing a cremation, nobody paid for a viewing that would require Peto being embalmed and a rented casket, which would be a $12,000 affair. She said that only Her, Sharon and Peto's first wife would be allowed. Sharon the lady he worked for called me at 9am and informed me she talked to the funeral home and got them to display Peto on a platform and they would allow about 10 people, close friends and family. For a brief moment I caught myself wanting to call Peto and have a laugh how Sharon squeezed a $12000 funeral out of a few hundred dollar affair. That's the type of stuff we would have a laugh about. Sharon squeezing a 12k funeral out of a few hundred dollar cremation. The consummate Jew that she is. I mean they had me at 8 am that it was over and to call everyone and call it off.
The viewing was at 4 every one that knew Peto and has played music with him over the last 30 years was there. Peto was not embalmed, I was squeamish at first about going in and seeing him. I was expecting to see a cadaver that was not looking very fresh. But honestly Peto looked like he was just resting, and at any moment he was going to jump up and shake my hand. When I go, I don't think I want to be embalmed, every person I ever saw that was embalmed looked nothing like the person, Peto still looked like Peto, better than the last few times I saw him. He was very gaunt the last times I saw him. I think Peto would have been proud of the whole afair. His Sisters were on a facetime call, it was better than I imagined it was going to be.
As Peto used to say after a brutal Bass riff, "Beat That!"
