i don't really have a preference. i'll be dead anyway.

but this might be kind of cool. :thumbup1: (although the Elysium website says a "portion of remains" are sent. if i'm going, i want all of me to go, not just a scoop of ashes, ffs.)

 

First launch is scheduled for summer 2014.

 

A start-up called Elysium Space will send your cremated remains into orbit for the cheap price of $1,990. Your remains will launch into low orbit, and circle the Earth for a few months before you re-enter the atmosphere and burn up in an awesome fireball.

Not only will you get to experience the ride of your afterlife, but your family and loved one's will be able to follow along on your final journey through an iPhone app.

I never used to be that bothered about it but trying to help my Dad to find old family plots and the like and finding what a complete cock it was to find even close family (uncles, aunts) because of lack of headstones... I want a headstone. Nothing fancy. Full name, date of birth, date of death. Wee phrase; "Here likes a top bloke" nothing fancy or too immodest.

 

But yeah, cremate or leave whole, whatever it is, I want a headstone even if it's just above a poke of dirty gritty ashes with bits of bone in it down under there (since it ends up that way anyway).

 

Having been a gravedigger you'd do them a favour by getting cremated that's for sure.

Goes without saying old bill will be all over it like a car bonnet. :cool:

 

It will be stretch limo's and a black armani suit job, I'd imagine most of the major firms will be in attendance, will lay on jellied eels and pie n mash for the southern boys.
