Weird Question That Freaked My Wife Out.

[Muck]

Orthodox/Traditional Jewish do not believe in cremation. Or embaming.

I can assure them that both practices do in fact exist.

Then there's my Mom, who loves traveling and wants to be cremated so I can then sprinkle little bits of her all over the world when I travel . . . and be at least a bit depressed on all of my future vacations.

Fuckin' Jewish mothers, always fuckin' with their kids' heads 'n shit.

My mom wants the same thing, shes from Cleveland until she met Dad and moved to Columbus, she wants her ashes sprinkled along 71 between home and home.

Whatever. I'm dead, throw me out back for the raccoons.

My brother-in-law is a pretty free spirit... fireman, EMT, diver, rugby player... who does a windjammer about every 2-3 mths (to keep his recovery diver certifications)

His will has my wife as the executrix.. and he's to be cremated... plus a hefty chunk set aside for a top shelf week long windjammer near St Barts for my wife and I... so we can toss his ashes in the sea... thanks Bro

Warning: if you are thinking about booking a Windjammer Barefoot Cruise please read this.

FWIW, Windjammer Barefoot Cruises currently has very serious financial problems. They haven't paid their bills in months, their ships are being arrested in port, they are cancelling cruises, and they are not giving refunds, etc. My guess is that they are going "belly up".
However, the good news is that they are still taking bookings (i.e. your money) for future cruises. Their website looks like everything is still "peachy". Cruises - Windjammer Barefoot Cruises

If interested, their problems are described in detail on another forum (i.e. http://www.jammerbabe.com/flotilla/)
