I thought of the COPS theme song

I went between this, the Cops theme song and Hulk Hogan.
How much money would I have to endow to State to have the drumline do a step show in my small hometown? (yeah, I know, would have to buy the town some steps, first)
I always wonder about the jewelry? You see it being worn in the open casket but don't most kids/grandkids want that as a remembrance or at the very least sell it?
Maybe most people have it removed during the transportation to the cemetery?
I'm guessing that's based on the final wishes + wishes of the family, and probably is discussed with the funeral home.
I want to be cremated and dumped into a batch of beer, maybe a red. JC's Dead Red Ale.
I was hearing "Cyclone Aerobics" with the "watchu gonna do, I S U?" at the end.
As for my plan...I'm an organ donor, so first I want them to take whatever is usable. Of course, the longer I live, the fewer parts remain usable.
After that, cremation. Then I plan to be a tree. There are companies out there that mix the ashes into a composted soil for the root ball of a sapling, then they return it to the loved ones so they can plant it. My personal choice is a sycamore. They're big, sturdy, and beautiful...and for you bibliophiles, I'm probably about the same height as Zaccheus.
Yes, some families have the jewelry removed prior to burial. Unless the wishes were to be buried with it.
Cremation, but I'll still have a cemetery plot at the Sacred Heart cemetery in Meyer, Iowa.
Assuming my family's home farm is still in the family (likely my cousin's son would own it at that point) I want some of my ashes dumped into the planter and planted into the farm.

Visitation only. Casket can be open, but please set me off in a corner and don't force people to walk past. Let them decide what they need for closure. Some people need to see the body. Others want no part of it-let them remember me alive. No funeral service. And instructions have been given to have a celebration afterwards. Find a way to put FUN back into FUNeral. LOL.
I was shocked to read that there is now LIQUID cremation, and yep, its pretty much how it sounds. They just dissolve you. And what happens then??
" The effluent is sterile, and contains salts, sugars, amino acids and peptides. There is no tissue and no DNA left after the process completes. This effluent is discharged with all other wastewater, and is a welcome addition to the water systems. "
They just flush you? or maybe they could put me in a snow globe.

Ha, like I am going to die like the rest of you mere mortals.
Cremation after they've taken anything that could possibly help someone else live and thrive.
No services or traditional visitation. Get a couple kegs, throw a party, just have fun, tell old stories, don't sit around and be all sad. Let me live in people's memories not as a made up shell laying in a box. I don't need a bunch of people standing in a cold cemetery with some guy they've never met handing them dying flowers awkwardly sitting on top of a casket.
Scatter me over my family's section of the rural cemetery that they're all in or will be in but I don't need my own marker or anything.

Some animatronics connected to a pressure sensor in the floor would do the trick. Sitting upright and waving as mourners approach would be a real crowd pleaser.
