This isn't intended to be too morbid. We've been talking a lot about death in one of my classes, so naturally I've started thinking about the subject.
I don't think I want to be buried in a graveyard. The whole funeral home industry just preys on the stupid decisions people make when they're grieving, and to put a dead body in a cushioned, thousand dollar coffin makes no sense to me. I'd like to be cremated.
But where to put the ashes?
Not in a vase. To be kept in a vase on a fireplace mantelpiece would just be weird, and I don't think people would like walking past that thing. We cremated my dog when I was 12 or so and scattered her ashes around my grandparents' cabin since she loved the place so much. I think I'd like the ashes to be dumped at the roots of a newly planted tree. I could grow into it, become part of it, attain some sort of life after death if this is all there is. Better than rotting in a box.
The finale of Silence is coming.
Really.
