Same for me, Guthmund. I strongly dislike the idea of burial.

I think I'd like to have my ashes spread in a couple places. One would be the plot of land where my home has been for the last 20+ years (which will be destroyed within 6 months and replaced with suburban shit-houses... but at least the land will still be there). That is where I grew up and it is the piece of earth that I feel the most attachment to.

Another place would be somewhere over water. Perhaps a little bit in the Lake Washington Ship Canal (or Puget Sound, or Lake Washington, one of the above), and a little bit over the Atlantic and/or Pacific. Those waters bridge my three countries of origin.

Mountains are nice too. But I guess there's only so much of me.
