Had a morbid topic discussion
Cos it just so happened that we passed by a cemetery after tracking at Bukit Timah Hill and the tombstones are all covered with grasses and weeds....
They were lopsided and didn't seem to have anyone or any descendents maintaining them...
The descendents may have forgotten that they even have ancestors in those graves as their parents pass on..
I know for my side, my parents have never even brought me to my grandparents urn resting area to pay respects. Thus if and when they pass on, I will never know where my grandparents are placed...
And we started to talk about what to do with us when we die...
I would want to be just cremated and my ashes spread over the sea...
Save the trouble of buying a lot and maintaining it...
I do not think I'm ever going to get married and thus the idea of having descendents seems impossible....
So no one is going to pay their respects to me anyway....
saves time and trouble if the ashes are just spread over the sea...
Unca wants his to be donated to the University for their medical teaching.
Noble idea yes
But I somehow do not entertain the thought of displaying my body or the body parts for others to view at, despite being dead...
According to Unca, the ferry at Changi ferry terminal to Pulau Ubin have this service (spreading ashes over the sea)!!
I must find some time to go write my will then.... hmmm...
