Weird & Creepy or you'd consider it?

Forget ashes. I'm going to force my family to have me buried, then dig up my corpse, drive it down to WDW on top of a station wagon National Lampoon's Vacation style, break into the MK at night, and discreetly hide me in the back row of the hall of presidents...

Seriously though, ashes are ashes. There are a million things more unsantiary and gross being spread at WDW each day. I think it's ok if someone does it on the grounds or any water that is not a part of a ride (or a drinking fountain). As long as you're not raining ash down on Neverland from your flying ship, or running down Main Street throwing it around like confetti, you're ok in my book.

I'd ask my DW or kids to take me out to Ft. Wilderness and dump me there, but I wouldn't want to make them make the trip down there with a big-bag-o-burned-up-me. Dump me somewhere at home, then make a trip together in my memory.

Thread win!!

Spreading ashes, which will then either be swept up with the other rubbish, washed away in a Florida thunderstorm, or mixed in with spilt Coke or discarded bubble gum?

Well, if they wanted to be part of a full WDW experience in the end......

Yikes! I realized this was a common occurrence, but I didn't realize people on the boards had done this! It is a very illegal thing to do, and, not to mention, most people don't want to come in contact with your Aunt Sue or Uncle Joe or Fido after they've gone on to the other side. I wouldn't want any kids to accidentally pick up or touch something (as kids always do) covered in remains, either.

I like your use of the phrase "very illegal." I'm trying to figure out how that works actually, because I really think that something is illegal or it's not...Just saying.

Also, I don't get why you would want to have your ashes spread on an attraction. Since it is considered a bio-hazard, you're not going to be remaining there for long...

That being said, I wouldn't mind my ashes being spread in 7 Seas, or Bay Lake, or on the grounds of the Wilderness Lodge or something of the sort. Atleast that way the ashes will be processed natually and not by the custodial crew!

If Disney sold grave markers similiar to the Walk Around The World Bricks and your ashes were placed in a Jar/Urn and buried underneath the marker I would buy one for my wife and I in a heart beat.

Since this will probably never actually happen, I may asked that my ashes be spread somewhere on or near Disney's Polynesian Resort. I can't think of a more peaceful and beautiful place to spend eternity. PLUS: I'd be walking distance from the Ticket and Transportation Center!:lol:

I would do it. I think it's ridiculous to do it on a ride, to just eventually be sucked up in a vacuum and discarded. But I really don't see a problem if it's done discreetly in a not so public outside place in Disney. Some of the most wonderful memories I have of my parents and sisters are when we were little and went on a Disney trip. My husband proposed to me in Disney and I love the time and memories I've spent with my own kids there and hope someday to be able to go with my grandkids. Disneyworld makes me happy, so why not be eternally happy.

I have asthma and a lung full of your Aunt Jean would indeed be unsanitary for me. :animwink:

While I can understand the desire to be scattered around Disney, it can pose a health risk to a significant number of people with respiratory problems.

Holy smokes! Talk about reaching. A little dramatic are we? "A lung full" of dust? Are you proposing that by a grieving widow sprinkling a loved ones ashes in water/or grass/or even under a tree, that this huge cloud of unsanitary dust and debris will trigger this massive outbreak of "asthma" attacks for all that are around?? :ROFLOL: This is a discussion board so i respect everyone's opinion, we're all entitled to it. But you're being quite dramatic while trying to prove a point.

Now, if you're in an enclosed room and someone dumps a bucket full of all remains, i can see that posing a problem. The topic is sprinkling some ashes somewhere.... take it down a notch. Oh, and i'm very sorry about your asthma, i know it's a true problem and i'm not questioning that in anyway

It's a constant occurrence in the Haunted Mansion ...

Great read, thanks for the link.

I'm doing it for sure. I have a plan where my wife and I will have our ashes mixed together and then spread at all of our favorite places on this planet. That's happening.

That or I have always tought of a similar plan years ago similar to that a previous poster had, whereas I would be intered in a 400 ft. tall pyramid with a 300 ft. gold statue of me on top. One arm holding a sword will be pointed towards the rising sun. An inscription on the pyramid will read "Never Forget Me." All of my posessions and loved ones will be buried with me.
