Pick a lane, and stick with it!

Many people get their ashes buried, actually, rather than scattered. Or they get scattered on a family gravesite - you don't run into the same "crowding" restrictions in graveyards doing that. I guess there is some comfort in the idea of physically being someplace specific, even if you acknowledge that you aren't around to really care about such things as overpriced grooming, pickling and boxing up.
I was seeing them as likely exclusive. However, I leave myself the amusement of imagining the following scenario:
BRC's great-great-nephew at breakfast one day: [
After glancing several times at the urn.] "Aaauuurrrgggh!! AAAUURRGGHH! I can't take it anymore! You, you old bitch, sitting there, day in day out, watching me!! Judging me!!! Here! Here! Are these fucking good enough for you????" [
Flings shoes at urn, and then is hauled off to the looney bin in a straight jacket, there to spend the rest of his days burbling incoherently about necktie knots.]
Rest of BRC's extended family: "Um, I guess maybe it's time to put bad old Auntie Chic away, don't you think?"
[
Party in 3 ensues.]
