[audrabolster]

I understand people love their Disney. But how unsanitary is this???

That's just not right, and I'm a funeral director who deals with cremated remains on almost a daily basis.

How much does it cost to get cremated. I only ask because me DH and I are working on our will/last testament.

If its in the water, then I imagine its going to go through some filtration system that sends it to the sewer eventually. That's not such a nice way to dispose of ashes.

The idea of it blowing in my face during the Haunted House ride is not at all pleasant.

Is there no one left who will recognize boundaries or limits on their behavior?

 

[PrincessKell]

You know, Dh and I were just talking about this sort of thing the other day, he said I was such a Disney freak I would want to be spread at Disneyland. We laughed (it was funny...), but I never thought people actually would do that! I guess there are some out there. But my kid goes on those rides...

...did anyone else think about some really cool places that you'd want your ashes spread?? Or am i the only bad person?

Gotta give DD & DS instructions:

Toadie? (Right after the Judge points his finger at you. )

How bout StorybookLand?

or Jungle Cruise?

or how about one of the clothes stores on Main St. (That way I know DW will come visit me )


(sorry..... i know.....bad hound. )

: Hound! What a disgusting thought. Honestly, I would never, ever, in a million years consider having my ashes spread with Brer Rabbit in his Briar Patch.

Anywhere from between $500 to $2,000.

I personally don't see the issue at all, I have heard stories like this for years and think its pretty cool. Its not like your drinking the water at POTC or anything But personally if I wanted to be dropped at DL after death I would want to be outside maybe at the castle hub or one of the planters in NO so I could see POTC and HM, and be good for the plants

You forgot to mention the water by California Screamin.

I understand that they vacuum up any remains (kinda defeats the purpose).

I think it was $2k to cremate, if memory serves me.

My kids have strict instructions where to distribute my ashes.... not at DL, either.

Yea, you don't drink ti, but that water flows through the entire ride... What if it splashed all over you after the drop...

 

[funnygarcia]

I'm not creeped out about this at all, my hubby wants his cremains to be distributed among all of his family. It's up to use if we want to "keep him" or "spread him around".

As for me, I'm not sure if I want to be parceled out. I wouldn't want my dad to have any of me (he would want to bury me--- which freaks me out).

When we lived in MN, hubby and I had made arrangements to have our bodies donated to University of MN (if we could not be used for organ donation) . Takes a year to 18 months get the cremains back -- ZERO expense to the family.

Considering the high temps used in creamtion, there is no cause for alarm about cremains being unsanitary. Perhaps disrepectful to some peope's beliefs , but unsanitary? -- nope.

I wouldn't mind being scattered at DL, but outdoors is a better idea.. tiny amounts too.

My thoughts exactly! I wouldn't want to be spread in a ride, where they could vaccum me up! I'd want to be in the soil, next to the flowers.

For me personally it has nothing to do with beliefs. I just feel that parts of you should not enter my nose whilst I'm watching the ghosts dance in the HH. I'm sure you are nice sanitary person but should I have to sneeze you out? Its just unnecessary.

If it helps at all, PotC has a high powered filter that's is constantly on which crushes that gets dropped into the water. (Not sure what ashes are going to fare in the water though...) And how do I know? My favorite pair of sunglasses fell off my head and into the water and a CM shared this trivia with me.

Has anyone noticed the vase on top of the mantle during the party scene in Haunted Mansion? Rumor has it, it was the last wish of a sick boy to have his ashes resting in his favorite ride in Disney....

 

[Boston Tea Party]

The Walt is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in a themed flume ride:
He leadeth me beside the Caribbean waters.
He restoreth my Tom Sawyer Island:
He leadeth me in the paths of the ride entrances for His name' sake.

Yea, though I float through the waters of the Pirates of the Caribbean,
I will fear no evil: For Walt art with me;
Thy mouse-ears and thy Fast Pass, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table at the Blue Bayou in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with rum; My booty runneth over.

Surely treasure and wenches shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Mouse forever.

Ashes to animatronics... Dust to flume...

Amen.


That was in one of the posts beneath the story.

 

[JenDisneylandlver]

Is that even legal? Gotta agree that it's not something I'd want splashing on me or having to breath in by accident. I don't know, seems very inappropriate to me.

 

[disney-super-mom]

I don't know why, but for some reason it just wouldn't bother me.

It's not anymore unsanitary or unhealthy than breathing in ordinary dust or touching any lake water in my opinion.

However, I'm with those that would rather be spread in the soil to help fertilize the plants. Somewhere in Adventureland or NOS would suit me just fine.
