Burial Urns for the sportsman?

Have you been to your local funeral home? Do they have a website?The one my family uses in MI has several deer hunting and  fishing urns available along with other outdoor activities. They should have some on display or in a catalog.

The standard practice is for the remains to be returned to the grieving family. Beforehand, an individual soldier may make other arrangements (during Vietnam, one Navy pilot requested to be buried at sea if he was killed in action).\n\nA detail is assigned to assist at the funeral. A friend of mine was killed in Iraq, and at her wake there was an active duty sergeant assisting.

Depending on where you live, I am sure there would be a lot of problems. I  live in an area where many people still do bury in their yards (family cemeteries, etc) and have for hundreds of years. I would contact a lawyer if I were you to find out the exact rules.

None, unless they were buried there.  The ones I see are usually ON the field.

I'm considering cremation...then I can have my ashes spread over my favorite place. I figure, you soul has alredy gone to where it is supposed to(hopefully heaven)- so, I want my ashes tossed into the valley below my favorite place(lookout point).\nAlso, saves big $$$. One last nice gesture for family and friends.

Think they outta give him a medal for that? Or just a mention in the Guiness Book of World Records?\n\nWhen he goes, they better not stink up Arlington by burying him there.

I want to be cremated and made into an artificial coral reef.  It's giving something back and seems lovely to me.\nThe body has no purpose after death so it's a waste of space and resources to be buried.  I've instructed my family and friends to contact these folks: http://www.eternalreefs.com/

The series is named after a satirical obituary published in The Sporting Times in 1882 following the match at The Oval, in which Australia beat England in England for the first time. The obituary stated that English cricket had died, and the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia. The English media dubbed the next English tour to Australia as the quest to regain The Ashes. A small terracotta urn was presented to the England captain Ivo Bligh by a group of Melbourne women after England's victory in the Test series. The urn is reputed to contain a set of burnt bails symbolising "the ashes of English cricket". While the urn has come to symbolise the Ashes series, the name The Ashes predates the existence of the urn. The urn is not used as a trophy for the Ashes series, and whichever side "holds" the Ashes, the urn remains in the MCC Museum at Lord's. Since the 1998-99 Ashes series, a Waterford crystal trophy has been presented to the winners.

Cremated? I don't think so...A Marine or any other solider (Navy, notwithstanding) killed while on active duty is NOT cremated. Their remains are shipped home for interment. Who told you he HAD to be cremated? Regarding his insignias, if he died by violent means, I doubt she would want any part of that uniform, nor would the Corps.,make it available because of health concerns as well as being in poor taste. That would be disposed of and may possibly be burned, not the solider.\n\nHis family should be given all remaining uniforms and gear, except for issued equipment. Further, insignias, badges, ribbons and medals are all available for purchase from various suppliers and surplus houses.

you should watch a cemetery for a few days, When someone dies the ground workers dig the hole the night before the person who hole it is gets buried. Wait until night time, bring body and shovel. Dig the hole deeper, put your dead body in, cover up. The next day they will put the other dead person's casket over it. NO WORRIES!:)

Such an event was not published in the press, see link 1.\n\nPossibility: phone the cemetery directly, see link 2.

Have you tried the newspapers that would have had his obituary published within a week of this death?  They usually have a photo.  The local library where you are could help you with some research assistance.  You should also contact the coroners office.  You're lucky because 23 years is not a long time & you should have better luck than most people finding something.  There should be some public record photos that may take a court order to get, like his Drivers Liscense photo.

that's pretty simple. Just ask whoever is in charge at the cemetery. They should know the answer. You could also plant a tree of remembrance in your own yard. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your difficult time.

I would think it would depend on whether there is going to be a viewing or not and whether they are being cremated or burried.  When I die, I definitely do NOT want to be embalmed and I will also be cremated, thx.
