I think I prefer to have my remains spread like Donnie in The Big Lebowski, myself.

    In California, back in the 70's, 80's and 90's, CalTrans would use bright orange trash bags to collect trash on the sides of the freeways. As a joke, I once told my wife that if I died, just put me in an orange trash bag and set me beside the freeway; CalTrans will take care of the rest.

    Told that joke while a CalTrans exec was standing near by. He blanched and said, "That's not a joke. We get at least one body a day along California freeways. Sometimes they are in plastic trash bags."

    So I don't tell that joke any more. I just tell her to bury me in my kilt and have people pass by my open casket and bellow like a Klingon to let heaven know I'm on my way!
