Buried on his Harley
 

Ride on....

PHOTOS: Man buried on his beloved Harley Davidson

Guess all the grave robbers know where to get a classic Harley now!

Wonder if the EPA inspected the Shovelhead to make sure there would be no oil leaks?:eek::D

Always strikes me as strange when you hear of these various things. They do no harm but are hard in some ways to comprehend for me.

Well at least the Family complied with his final wishes.

If grave robbers don't get it, one can imagine some head scratching 80,000 years from now, after 99% of humanity died off followed by a gradual re-emergence of hunter/gatherers, and the 'casket', what's left of it, is exposed by some erosion.

I don't want to be buried with any of my toys. A waste of a valuable vehicle imho. I'd sooner leave it to my son.

Wont that collapse under the weight of the dirt?

This gives a new meaning to "you're not taking that with you when you die so may as well enjoy it now"...

Quite a waste if you ask me. When I go I'd prefer to be cremated and all my toys auctioned with the money used for a good cause - like a donation to the Children's Hospital.

How many cubic yards of otherwise usable earth are taken up with the task of storing decomposing human husks?
Seems kindly....selfish. Or something.

Not to mention the thought of laying around in a hole while rotting away for hundreds of years...might as well speed the process and get cremated.

X2.
And, Funeral Home Owners and Workers have been know to pull all kinds of fraud and theft.

I have a 53 Chevy Pick-up Truck I bought in High School 45 Years ago I would like to be buried in.
But, My thoughts were cremation of My Body with ashes in a Urn on the seat and the whole Truck crushed into a Cube and buried or dumped off shore.
Perhaps as part of a Break Water.

Towers of silence...

What really freaks me is having my blood drained out (where does it go, down the sewers??), replaced with formaldehyde, and buried in a concrete lined hole. Where I'll sit, pickled, for numerous centuries likely as not.

I like the old line: 'The earth has sustained me these many years, I owe the earth one body.'

Simple knotty pine box with a white cotton sheet for me. Let the critters and wormie things recycle my remains. Put a fruit tree on top perhaps.

Freeze my head.
