Ashes to Acorns

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I will not be having a funeral. Just a simple click and collect kind of affair. From popping my clogs to crematorium. Done.

If anyone wants to say any kind words or  bring flowers, can you do it now, please. Let me smell those magnificent lilies. Let me hear a few sweet words.

I did have this idea of having my ashes put around the base of an oak tree. But it turns out that is more complicated than it sounds.

The mighty oak has sensitive roots, and the sodium would be detrimental to the trees’ well-being. They make eco urns for such this purpose. Allowing for a gentle release into the soil. But this really defeats the object of planning a simple departure.

It would be fun to imagine a squirrel sometime in the future eating an acorn I had helped to produce

Pity, I felt I could channel my inner Christina Rossetti that way. No, I’m just trying to add some humour into a darkish post.
