As long as you pay a certain amount of money (about 10000 dollars), you or your relatives's ashes will be sent to the moon and rest there forever. The insider says that this programme will be launched in 2009. Actually, the space funeral has begun long time ago. Originally, only the space experts or celebrities had this privilege. Latter, it has been introduced to the public. According to the statistics, about 150 poeple's bone ashes have been sent to the space from 1997 to 2004. It seems that the space has become very poplular. My friends, have you ever thought about the problem before? What kind of funeral do you expect? Where do you want to rest after death? Would you like to have a space funeral?

Seriously, these crematories usually are built in the surburbs of the cities. I wonder if they consider the pollution problem before construction. For me, I prefer to bury my ashes under a tree in the orchard. Maybe, it can be used as the manure. Hehe.

Then I want to be put on top of the TV so we can keep an eye on things! Then we wanted to be handed down to my nephews for safe keeping as part of the conditions of the will so they get their inheritance!!!! Ha ha ha! Really I don't care that much - maybe scattered at sea but definitely not on the moon!

In China, people will bury the dead's ashes in the earth though their bodies have been cremated. They believe that the dead can rest in peace in the earth. This might be the reason why the cemetery plot prices are higher than apartment.

I’m willing to be a fertilizer but not to be eaten by worms. Why would anyone wants his/her ashes on the space or on the moon? What will that accomplish? Even in death, people still want to satisfy their ego, eh?
