Trust me, it’s not cool. Although if the person is cremated, loved ones may be comforted by having their ashes nearby. There’s even jewelry, like lockets, where you can place some of the ashes.
Element, we've known each other since AB. I would be honored to fulfill that dream against your wife's wish and use it to scare her senseless per manner and frequency agreed upon beforehand.
But promise me, if I go first, you'll take my figure to work each day and place it in front of the computer with headphones on and a "do not disturb" sign. Also, don't let my S/O know I died--just tell her I'm going through some stuff.
I dunno if that would work so well because human skin is pretty delicate and may deteriorate soon or maybe can be properly treated by a reliable taxidermist to last. Few years ago I enquired about getting my deceased cat done and the guy said he no longer accepts pets because too often people are not satisfied with the finished product -"that's not the way my pet should look". How about a wax copy as in those in a wax museum. Those appear very realistic and probably last better.
My husband died last Halloween and we put him in a box over the living room mantle. Then we transferred him into a ERn. I probably would have had him stuffed, but he weight 350 pounds, so it im sure it would cost too much.
She's already asked me to cremate her and scatter her ashes in a rainforest. I'll do that if there are any left by then - maybe in the creek above the waterfall we made love under.
