Antonin Scalia requested cremation in his will

[Rocky the Leprechaun]

1. Cremate him, then bury him with the nuclear waste dump site

[Blaukraut]

2. Next best thing to staking. Just as long as he stays dead n/t

[A Simple Game]

12. That's the first thing I wondered, what if the stake burns first, can he come back to life? n/t

[sellitman]

3. Always the flaming a-hole

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

4. It will be a fitting start for his next adventure

in one of the lower circles.

[LiberalArkie]

5. I would personally think a wood chipper and then cremation would be best.

[Orrex]

7. LOL.

You won't believe it, but I happened to post this on FB when I heard about Scalia:

Honestly I'd have preferred a slow woodchipper accident, but I'll take this just as well.

Funny ol' world.

[BlueMTexpat]

27. This ...

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. `I would worry about major CO2 release, massive toxic air pollution

as bad as China if the cremation occurs

I think Sarah Palin knows someone about turkeys

[KentuckyWoman]

6. Should have scheduled the cremation 48hrs before his death.

Damn waiting period.

Plus I'm betting he never got the required pre-cremation body cavity search 10 days ago and a note from his doctor confirming he's had a good talking to about what cremation will do to his body.

[Kip Humphrey]

9. Shouldn't they separate the head from the body first? I mean, just to be safe?

[asjr]

10. I must not say this, but everyone who replied to this

op cracked me up. I still think DU is made up of funny writers.

[Fuddnik]

11. He'll get cremated all right.

In Hell.

[valerief]

13. So dipping him in lacquer, setting him in a public square, and letting pigeons shit on him

is off the table now?

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

14. Feel the burn!

[dickthegrouch]

44. DUzy!

[Iggo]

15. Perfect.

[n2doc]

16. Well, if what he believed in as a Catholic is true

Then he is already burning.

[restorefreedom]

46. he may have gotten a break and gone to purgatory...

but i hear that is not overly pleasant either.

[Thor_MN]

17. I hear Hell, Michigan is nice this time of year...

And it would be appropriate for Scalia to burn in Hell.

I believe he requested cremation because he knew any cemetery plot he was buried in would quickly turn into an open pit sewer. I would be willing to open up a beer stand (upwind, of course) to sell cheap beer to fuel those standing in line to piss on his grave.

18. Funniest thread yet, thanks.

I've loved and laughed at several.

Best Valentine's Day, President's Day weekend ever! A great day for social progress.

[dubyadiprecession]

25. This, we can agree upon.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. Turnabout is fair game.

[hlthe2b]

20. An honest question... I thought cremation was a no no for Catholics?

Is that true or not?

[malthaussen]

26. I believe it is a joke. n/t

[hlthe2b]

36. Yes, of course... But it brought up a question about which I'd wondered for some time...n/t

[LibDemAlways]

34. Burial is still preferred, but as of 1963 the

Catholic Church is ok with cremation as long as the cremains are kept together and buried or entombed. It does not endorse scattering the ashes.

[hlthe2b]

37. Thanks... I'd wondered about this...

[malthaussen]

39. Which logically makes no sense.

But the issues of religion rarely rely on logic.

[Cleita]

38. Once it was, but that changed more than half a century ago.

Most Catholics I know, whom have died, have been cremated.

[perdita9]

21. So no peeing on his grave then?

Women, minorities, the LGTB community and the working poor will be so disappointed.

[dubyadiprecession]

22. The heat to cremated him, the heat to his soul in Hell !!

[perdita9]

23. Does Scalia have the right to do as he wishes with his own body?

Let's have the ladies take a vote

[rurallib]

24. On another note: I thought he was a staunch Catholic

From my days as a catholic I remember that cremation was a big no-no. Mortal sin IIRC.
Can't imagine after all those years of pushing his faith from his chair on SCOTUS he would fuck up his last move.

[warrprayer]

31. Cremation

Is o.k. now

[BlueMTexpat]

32. Hat to check this out ...

it sounded like something from my youth. I'm now a recovering Catholic.

OTOH, my father, s practicing Catholic to the end, requested cremation.

Apparently, it's OK these days. http://www.cremationresource.org/cremation/what-do-catholics-believe-about-cremation.html

I have requested cremation for myself.

[malthaussen]

28. And yesterday was my birthday.

What an unexpected and charming gift.

33. Happy belated BD! eom

[warrprayer]

29. ...

[abakan]

30. Let the bernin begin!

It's hot where he's going, might as well get used to it.

[2banon]

35. good one.. posted it on fb..

[DrBulldog]

40. I'm ready for Fargo 2 !

But we'll need a pulverizer . . .

[DrBulldog]

41. My greatest ever wish for the future . . .

. . . Can our nation with Bernie and then Elizabeth at the helm over the next 16 years undo the gross damage that the Supreme Court has done to our nation at the hands of Scalia? It is the greatest dream I have for my children.

[mazzarro]

42. Burn Baby Burn!

Will that be the repukes' chant once the flames get going since they like it so much?

[snort]

43. Oily

[tblue37]

47. He wants to "feel the Bern." nt
