Would it be illegal? Not if you're cremated in ADVANCE of being
stuffed down the muzzle I should think.

Sounds like a blast to me....

Kinda gives a whole new meaning to: "Going out with a bang."

My choice is still getting my ashes shot out of a muzzle-loading cannon.

I find the whole idea of having a box full of some ones ashes sitting
around the house rather puzzling. When the body is dead it's dead.
Cremate it, bury it, compost it - whatever. If you want to remember
them get a nice portrait painted and build a good frame. I've met
people who have 2 or 3 urns around their house with parents and pets
in them. It doesn't really strike me as creepy, just puzzling. I like
your cannon idea, although I kind of favor mailing the box of ashes to
a nonexistent address without a return address, so that they end up in
the dead letter office.... ba-ba-ching!

But cremation can be so much easier than getting a nice, tight mitered
joint. Or, is death of a loved one the latest excuse to buy a new tool.
"Honey, my favorite uncle Al just died. I'm goin' out to buy a miter
trimmer."

Which gives a whole new meaning to the term 'getting your ashes hauled'

This is creepy and the price isn't cheerful either. BTW Ft. Washington on
the Potomac still fires a muzzle-loading cannon (brass) a couple of times a
year. Instead of making or buying a fancy box you should befriend a few of
the boys at the park and make arrangements for getting yourself packed in
for a trip. It would be illegal but I bet you'd like that all the more.
