I would want cremation. Cremation and a simple marker. I wouldn’t be buried at all at my marker, because I would actually want my ashes spread in two separate places. One is somewhere in my hometown and the other spot, probably around the recreational area of my middle school, where I had commonly found peace at.
My marker would have a Red Sox emblem, signifying fan for life to that team. The other symbol would probably be a resemblance of rebirth/reincarnation as a reflection of my beliefs, so presumably a phoenix would go there. Not entirely sure what exactly I’d want written on the marker. Debating on a personal quote or just say “Logged off for the last time” which references from all of the time I’ve spent being online.
About 1/3 will be combined with my wife and her dog who have already passed. Another 1/3 will be combined with my fiancé. These will be scattered in a few different places that are special to us.
The final 1/3 is to be combined with concrete and made into ice cube sized pieces to be taken to different reefs around the world by whomever will take them.
I currently carry a tiny portion of my wife and her dog with me everywhere.
I’m sorry for your loss.
There’s something beautiful about having a plan that detailed to acknowledge that much love you have shared.
