Why not build your own?

Why should I worry about it?. Anyway, I'm talking about other
people not me. I don't plan on making something nice, that people can't
look at.

Besides, I'm covered. I've already told everyone concerned I want
cremation. A couple cardboard boxes, duct tape - good to go. No prob.

When my mother passed away a year or so ago, I built a cremation container
of maple ply, because I couldn't bear to think about the 'cardboard box'
thing - my problem, not hers.

I took it up to my parents' place, and pulled it out of the back of the
truck, so we could take a picture or three of the way it came out.

Several weeks later, we were looking at the pictures, and saw the sign
behind the box, clearly in the middle distance, from the neighbor's lot:
"For Sale by Owner".

Laughter is indeed theraputic! So was the woodworking.
