Having the land and no mortgage, and being able to do whatever you want, are all fantastic things!

I hate funerals. DH and I won't be having them either. So depressing.

Hey eastern TN is pretty awesome isn't it! Lol

Yes NHH, it really is, tho I like it N of Knoxville, but if I were to look it would depend on what's around and I would make sure there was a vet available. Since you have friends S of Knoxville, I would certainly be inclined to be in the vacinity. I really like it over there and the Smokies, but would stay away from the Tourist attractions.

Yes we aren't totally permanently tied to where they are, though it's a good place to start! They're actually only a little over a half hour from Knoxville and there are goats everywhere down there so I'm sure I won't have issues finding a vet.

The places super close to the tourist attractions are super expensive anyway!

I think it was wind. Not really big but big enough to ground out the hot wire.

I can relate to being in your final place. I will never live in a place other than where I am right now. :

I don't know what ya'll got against funerals. They are a big going away party! What would you care anyway? You'll be dead!

Worst line at a funeral; "He/She looks so natural!" Ummmmm.....NO, he/she looks dead to me with a lot of funeral home make up on! Haha, I can turn picking out a casket into a memorable good time. I am so bad....

I would prefer people have a celebration of life party for me. Funerals are depressing. Cremate me, hike a mountain, toss me out and have a party. Lol maybe I'm weird.

Nothing weird about that. Especially if you like the mountains. Hmmmm.... I guess if I got cremated, my ashes would get tossed in the garden.... or in the barn with all the rest of the manure.

Well if ya don't care enough to see me while I'm alive, then no sense seeing me dead. I want to be here today and gone tomorrow, and don't want anyone to change their routine for my death. It is my wish for those that don't care enough to check on me while alive to never be told that I'm no longer here. I just don't care for the Hoopla, and spending those High prices is just ridiculous and a waste to be left 6' under.

Yeah the funeral cost thing is super stupid. I think in many cases it is money spent in grief when there is no warning and all logical thought processes have been shut down. If someone wants to spend a ton of money on a fancy coffin (that will rot just as well as a simple pine box), it is their money but I hope they have the money socked away ahead of time. Of course unless they are swimming in money, their spouses/kids could likely better use the money for other things.

Vermont has no restrictions on where your ashes can go once cremation is complete. On the mantle or spread wherever you like. My mother and stepfather are on the sea bottom somewhere off San Pedro, CA. My aunt became part of Mt. Tamalpais, CA 4 years ago.

They just changed the law in VT, 6' under no longer applies. The new law, other than for infants, is the bottom of the casket has to be at least 5' under the natural top of the ground.

It is my wish for those that don't care enough to check on me while alive to never be told that I'm no longer here.

VERY reasonable!!! If you go before Joyce, make sure she posts here because there are many of us who DO care

Since I have LS's ph #, she would probably call him and let him know, so he can post something....
