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.

This is creepy and the price isn't cheerful either. BTW Ft. Washington on
the Potomac still fires a muzzle-loading cannon (brass) a couple of times a
year. Instead of making or buying a fancy box you should befriend a few of
the boys at the park and make arrangements for getting yourself packed in
for a trip. It would be illegal but I bet you'd like that all the more.

Would it be illegal? Not if you're cremated in ADVANCE of being
stuffed down the muzzle I should think.

Sounds like a blast to me....

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. I've met
people who have 2 or 3 urns around their house with parents and pets
in them. It doesn't really strike me as creepy, just puzzling. I like
your cannon idea, although I kind of favor mailing the box of ashes to
a nonexistent address without a return address, so that they end up in
the dead letter office.... ba-ba-ching!

Kinda gives a whole new meaning to: "Going out with a bang."

Which gives a whole new meaning to the term 'getting your ashes hauled'

At that stage in the game It wouldn't worry me either way.
However, even though I believe in reincarnation, I believe I would
prefer my ashes much further away from politicians.

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.
