5 Weird Things People Have Requested For Their Funerals

The Man Who Wanted His Ashes Sent Into Space

A number of people have requested that their ashes be launched into space, and several companies now offer the service. But one man took it a step further. He requested that his ashes be split into three parts: one portion kept by his family, one portion fired from a cannon, and one portion sent into orbit around the Earth. The family reportedly struggled to find a company that would do all three. The cannon was easy. The space flight was expensive. The family settled for two out of three. Nobody knows which part went where.
