Going out in Style!

If you could launch your ashes into the skies, would you?

Read the link below. Scroll down to 'The Right Stuff'. Sounds cool!

My Mum wants her ashes scattered at sea. She has arranged to meet up with a friend near Moreton Island then they'll travel the world together.

I'll be dead, I won't have a clue what happens to my body or ashes

but yep Vingo, space would be fantastic! Our baked and charred bits floating off into the forever, to clog up some spaceships engines

Enterprise will beam the ash aboard, Spock will examine it, raise one eyebrow, and report "appears to be Human remains Captain, early 21st Century I believe".

That would be great, to have your remains scattered in space, who knows you might come back a little Meteors.

Cheers Leon

Fired off into deep space, that would be the way to go. Just aim me for Orion and I'll take it from there.

I remember last year someone selling some Rap singers Fart in a Jar!

I never found out what happened with that one.
