Scattering ashes at Michigan
Found this in an old magazine...
When old Bennie died in 1990, Ron Kramer scattered his ashes on all the athletic fields where he had starred as an outstanding athlete and won nine letters at Michigan in the middle 1920s.
"I told him I would do it," Kramer said. "A little on the football field, the baseball field and track, and a little around the rest of the campus. Bennie is everywhere at Michigan."
Have any of you done this or plan on doing it?
I mean no offense to anyone but I think a mere fan wanting their ashes scattered at Michigan Stadium is a little creepy.
I'll be spread in Big House somehow, along with other specific locations on my creepy list!!

No way to I want to wake up in a coffin after my death is greatly exaggerated. Problem will be convincing my kids to come back and police my bones for the final internment.
I'm planning on being cannibalized, myself. That way I'm doing some good for some poor hungry person after I die as well.
my final shit being spread over OSU's practice field. I would say the Horseshoe, but that would be unfair to visiting teams.
LoL +1. Taking that one step further, the final shit should be at the horseshoe when ohio plays little brother and it should be used to DOT THE I. Then you can shit on both of our rivals.
Negged for pompous use of "little brother." Though we share a name, we are not related to those fuckers in East Lansing.
Mike Hart didn't think it was pompous
Hahaha, I've never seen that. Thanks for the laugh. Not pompous at all, more like accurate!
while you are alive.
I like what Randy Savage said/did with his ashes. He had a favorite dog named Hercules and when it passed he put the ashes in his favorite spot, then told his brother "when its my time to go, sprinkle my ashes on the same tree. If its good enough for Hercules, its good enough for me"
YT comments suggest that the man at 1:53 is scattering ashes
Yes.
We love our traditions, but other programs have some good ones as well.
I find it fairly gross that people's charred corpse ashes are spread in places where people can come into contact with it. Specifically, sweaty people. WTF no one wants to touch your dead body people.
Ain't nothing in thoise ashes that wasn't part of a supernova at one point, except some hydrogen and helium atoms. Same could be said for sweaty dude or dudette.
Sky burial for me.
But not in the middle of the stadium.
Like, this sky burial?

Met a guy once who got to attend one of these in Tibet and described it in detail, and it just sounds totally amazing/harrowing/disturbing.
Yes, like that, only Sichuan would be more likely than Tibet given the security situation. There is the issue of getting my body there, if I don't die over there. It's not happening here in NY because I cannot get anyone who fishes out of Montauk to promise to put me in their chum buckets.

Well let me just quote the late, great Colonel Sanders, who said, "I'm too drunk to taste this chicken."
In all seriousness, I don't think I would want my ashes scattered, but I definitely don't want them in an urn somewhere or to be buried. There's a kit that turns your ashes into a tree, I'll probably go with something like that.
Because you have almost 5,000 points on a sports bolg in under 2 years time, meaning you are devoting a lot of your living time to Michigan sports as well.
As others have mentioned, there really isn't an uncreapy way to deal with dead body. I find it weird to have my body put into a cushy box in a fancy suit with makeup on 6 ft under the ground. I'm more of a dust to dust type guy. Suprised this thread got as judgemental as it did so quick.
I've always wanted to have my ashes scattered from the top of half dome at yosemite. That way my remainds can whistle around the place on earth I find the most beuatiful and my ashes can fertilize the redwoods.
who had their ashes scattered at Comiskey Park; which had been torn down and is now a parking lot next to US Cellular Field.
if DB were still around, it would be the <insert name> burial plot at Michigan Stadium, Presented by Pfizer or something.
