It's a story about a woman who displays her quilts uniquely

Ewww. Not for me.

A friend in Nebraska died last year at the age of 95.
She had had her handmade coffin stored in her basement for about 15 years.
It was beautiful wood, rope handles, and lined with plain white muslin.
I was sick at the time and was not able to attend her service.

It pays to be prepared, so that you can have it your way.

Great idea but they'll be burning my butt!

What a marvelous idea! Useful rather than wasteful. Cheaper rather than expensive. Ecological rather than affecting the earth forever. The body certainly won't care! So many people aren't aware that expensive funeral home caskets are often not required by law.

To me this isn't a "constant reminder" of impending death (hopefully many years out!) any more than my leather wingback recliner is a constant (negative connotation) reminder that I will be having shoulder replacement surgery soon and have to sleep in it for a while. Or that the ice scraper I have to keep moving in my car's console is a reminder that winter is coming sooner than I want it to.

Then again, I'm one who firmly believes that only I am responsible for the things I "think on"; that my brain doesn't just take over and worry about things like a dog with a new bone when I "remind" myself that only God is in control of my life.

Fascinating

Unique, great cost saver, a different take on recycling.

That is very unique Wish I would of thought of that but I already have my cremation paid for.
