Nah, that was a crack.
If they did, the funeral industry is notorious about sticking it the survivors. I have printed out my preferences for my daughter...
- If I am lost diving, I don't want anyone taking risks trying to locate my carcass. If I am unable to set off my PLB, it'll be too late anyway. Just apologize for those whose trips I ruined.
- If I die outside of the US and they do find me, DAN will pay for my return - and have a second autopsy done on arrival as I don't trust governments in dive destinations to be honest.
- Get bids on the cheapest direct cremation possible (funeral directors would rather cost at least 5 times as much), have the cremains FedExed when done, and talk to my hometown cemetery association about requirements to bury those there. They can have a local employee dig the 15" deep hole economically if needed, but get updated instructions. I'd prefer a 60# motor mix marked like I made for a number of unmarked graves here, but I'd need to teach someone how - so I think it'd be easier to make one each fall for the following year in case that's the one. Unused slabs can be turned over for other uses.
I realize now that I need to update my advance directive!
