Persistent until the end. A mother focused on doing what is best for her autistic son.

I want to put something profound and serious because we are discussing a very grave subject.

I told you I wanted to be cremated.

I don’t think I’ll go pick a gravestone. Even though most people I know won’t help me out I still have a few friends and after I die they will fulfill my last request. [I’ll just make a legal act in which I’ll state I want to be cremated]. A legal act because the family won’t agree with it [I just know it] ... and the ashes I want them to take and put a bit here and there .. on a mountain somewhere, in a forest, near a sea and somewhere where it’s snow all the time. This mostly depends on my friends if they want to make it happen.
Though if it does happen and I’ll be put in a grave somewhere it won’t really matter what it’s written since I cannot read it :)

I’ve almost got mine paid for!

On the front will be a picture of me in uniform on my bike, with the words “Forrest L. Horn, Sr., CPT, INF, USA ( Retired/Disabled ). B.S. B.A. M.A., Still riding… somewhere!”

And on the back a list of all my children, all my grandchildren, and my wife’s name. : )

@CaptainHarley You’ve got a regular alphabet soup after your name.

“I’m not really down here.”

This is true, but all it really stands for is having been through several different kinds of hell in my life! : D

“I suppose it’s safe to tell you now… I did your wife”

or…

“RIP MP3’s”

or…

“Do it while you can”

A simple heart carved in a tree trunk with R.R. & P.P. in the middle would do for me.

Definitely something humourous, I have long thought it would be wonderful to see a cemetery full of visitors laughing their heads off, I know this might not be possible for people initially but after time it could be very therapeutic…
