Do any come in Garnet and Gold? Wink


Yep. Most major college teams are available (not just Kentucky). I read an article in the spring that said Nebraska and Florida were the two top selling schools. I think the company making them is based in Macon, Georgia.


I guess if I were to get buried, I'd do this. Mr. Green

Would this offend you, seriously???


As with most things, I probably over analyze it, but when it comes to death and dying, that's where the rubber meets the road in a spiritual sense for me. It's a serious statement for eternity. If you're comfortable in your beliefs on what "happens next", then go for it. The scary part to me is how much death is trivialized in our modern society. To me, life is one big trip to the starting line of eternity. Being at peace in your mind that you've made the journey and arrived where you want to is what's important. If those around you know this and can be happy for you, then celebrating might be in order. But for so many that never seem to be asking all the questions, finding all the answers and so often "living for today", a funeral that leaves mourners wondering, yeah, it would be uneasy.


Is it death that is trivialized or is it life that is being trivialized?

I am all for making "fun" of death. It is hard enough, and I want my funeral to be lighthearted and fun.

Just as long as the lyrics to the song "Highway to Hell" aren't emblazoned on my box, I should be fine.... Mr. Green

I'm with several others, take what someone else can use and cremate the rest. I'd like to be sprinkled in the ocean. It's someplace I love being near and beautiful.
