Because of a lengthy illness, before my dad passed away he had the chance to make his own funeral arrangements, including how his remains would be handled. He (jokingly) suggested that we cremate him and put his ashes in a snow-globe, set it on the mantle, and "just give him a shake once and a while". A little macabre I suppose, but I appreciated his humour up until the end.
