Cremate? Bury?
My brothers and I were discussing (laughing about his Daddyisms...) our long departed Dad. He was a piece of work. Took after his Mom. The subject of his cremation was brought up and it was duly noted that he was the 1st person any of us knew that had been cremated. Why cremated? Dad was the cheapest man in the world. He worked at the UAB medical center as an electrician and while he was there he discovered their medical cadaver program and signed up for it.
You die. They come get your body. (he was in Baldwin County, about 250 miles from UAB) They poke and prod and turn you inside out for a while then cremate you and send you via the mail back to your family after a year or so. No charge and thank you very much. So Dad was cremated. Me? Doubt I'll care at the time, but bury me. You? Little slow at work today.......

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
