When my mother-in-law died a few years ago we had the funeral home collect her from the hospital, after a viewing and official identification at the funeral parlor she was totted off to be toasted and we got her back in a little wooden box contained inside a velvet bag. Cost around $3.5K. Personally, when I'm dead, I don't need all that. I am happy being donated to medical research and donating any of my organs I've not destroyed having a good time :) If I'm going to die, I want as many people to benefit from what I have to give as possible. -- End Of The Line BBS - Plano, TX telnet endofthelinebbs.com 23 .
