An elderly friend of mine died a couple of years ago. She was cremated on
her own land, near Boulder, by friends who researched and built an open
funeral pyre. I wasn't there, but I've been told stories. I might have
something in writing, so when the time comes if you haven't found enough
information, write to me on the side.
They had a permit and advisement.
I live where we're not supposed to burn trash, but I grew up where we WERE
supposed to burn trash and just take the ashes to the dump, so we had a trash
barrel and it was my job to do that. Fire has always been fun and
fascinating for me, so I would arrange elaborate trash-sculptures with
cardboard-tube vents and the wet exciting stuff or chemical stuff down low in
the middle, and light it just so.
Once, kinda without thinking, after I lived in Albuquerque, I lit a 55 gallon
trash barrel thinking it would just burn quickly and I wouldn't get in
trouble.
Very bad.
Where I grew up on 2.5 acres and farming/rural, dogs went to crap
wherever---at the ditch, in the neighbor's orchard, on an already existing
pile of horse shit. Nobody picked that stuff up. It was part of the
ground. In Albuquerque we pick it up and we don't burn it.
Well...
This BARREL with various things including probably at least a cubic foot of
dog poo, started to smoulder. Not flame, just kind of cook. And it made
horrid smoke which was blowing RIGHT into my neighbor's back yard, where my
neighbor who is in her 60's and not very fun was working. AND she has had
two house fires in her life and so doesn't even like the fact that we have
and use a fireplace next door to her.
Very bad.
I kinda casually put dirt in the barrel until the fire went out.
So when my husband finally took that to the dump, it was dirt and baked
doodoo.
And so if you do cremate your cat, consider where the aroma of burning fur
might waft.
We have a cat graveyard at our house, and a friend has brought two of her
cats because she lives in an apartment.
