Here is a link to a non-profit organization, AMBIS, the Austin Memorial Burial & Information Society (AMBIS) is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization of area residents dedicated to helping our neighbors make funeral and memorial arrangements that are dignified, meaningful and affordable.
It has really good information about affordable funerals. http://fcaambis.org/

We have a running joke with our friends that own the ranch that we go to, Mark and Jan. If anybody gets deathly sick, we are suppose to take a pillow and blanket to the bucket of the tractor. If we get well, that's great, but if we die, our bodies will get dumped off a steep bluff. It's really a sick joke, lol! Anytime anybody complains about feeling bad, somebody tells them to just go get in the bucket

I know already that as soon as all this estate stuff is over with, I'm going to start planning a green service for myself. I know the people that handled my parents funerals well so I will find out all I can from them.

That's a great idea Janet. It will give you peace of mind, and when the time comes, Ricky won't have to do it. You are a wise woman!

Betsi, my mom and her sister (who is gone now) always said that when they got old and sick they were going to ride the gondola to the middle of the Royal Gorge and jump out. That's not quite as morbid as a pillow and blanket in the bucket, but in the same vein. LOL! Gary sometimes says when he is too sick to be happy, he's gonna do like the old Indians did - just go out in the woods, sit down till he dies.

Go sit in the woods... Go get in the bucket... Some days around here Mike says he may just ride to the ranch and get in the bucket. Just his way of saying he feels really bad, and I bet Gary just says he's going to the woods. Frightening how similar they are, lol!
