Burial Perspectives

“All places are alike, and every earth is fit for burial.” ~Christopher Marlowe

“There is nothing quite so good as a burial at sea. It is simple, tidy, and not very incriminating.”
~Alfred Hitchcock

“She wanted to be buried in a coffin with used paperbacks.” ~Sherman Alexie
(Me too!)

"I could never bear to be buried with people to whom I had not been introduced."
~Norman Parkinson

"Corpses are more fit to be thrown out than is dung." ~Heraclitus

"Just under the surface I shall be, all together at first, then separate and drift, through all the earth and perhaps in the end through a cliff into the sea, something of me. A ton of worms in an acre, that is a wonderful thought, a ton of worms, I believe it." ~Samuel Beckett


Sorry.  I’m ahead of myself, I know.
I’m already thinking about coffins and skeletons and little rubber bats that I can nail to the ceiling!

It’s almost October. And you know what that means!
My favorite holiday is near! 
More spookiness to come.
