As this story goes a man tells his wife he wants to be cremated. She asks should I make an appointment for next Tuesday? (published in a recent edition of DAV, Legion, or VFW magazine).
All joking aside for those who are in my age bracket of 70+ years young, have you given any real thought or taken steps for the handling your remains?
I’m reminded of a true story of a wonderful Japanese grandma who loved growing flowers. Everyone admired and praised her gift of a green thumb. At her memorial service everyone sent flowers to the funeral home. So many flowers came that near the end of the service folks were encouraged to take some flowers home. At long last after all had left family could not find the flower vase urn with her remains. Notices were sent out to everyone who signed the guestbook to please bring back grandma’s ashes.
True story.
My wife and I had settled this difficult question with a prepaid cremation policy for each of us letting family know up front how to handle our remains. Personally I like the “Bucket List” movie solution – put me in “Chock Full of Nuts” can and place me somewhere with a view. – RTM

Clarification of Real Truckmaster Blogs
For those who follow my blog posts on RTM blogs let me clarify and clear up some confusion.
I write highlighting the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of the far-left's war on anything Trump.
There are too many willing to argue without merit and I would be remiss attempting to argue against their ignorance, they have way too much experience.
My writings are my personal opinion intended to be educational in nature, a bit humorous, satirical, while being informative providing food for thought, which is sorely lacking today. For those who find my posts offensive, I am truly sorry, you have the right NOT to read them as have many before you. I will not attempt to change your mind politically, but provide the opportunity to show something you may wish to consider, thereby illuminating prejudice and misinformation! - I am the Real Truckmaster!
