I think that would be kind of creepy, having that around, only half
full of ashes, and knowing one day you'd be suppying the other half. My
choice is still getting my ashes shot out of a muzzle-loading cannon.

I find the whole idea of having a box full of some ones ashes sitting
around the house rather puzzling. When the body is dead it's dead.
Cremate it, bury it, compost it - whatever. If you want to remember
them get a nice portrait painted and build a good frame.

But cremation can be so much easier than getting a nice, tight mitered
joint. Or, is death of a loved one the latest excuse to buy a new tool.

trimmer."
