African Tomb
assists you in scattering a loved one's ashes in Africa. Also, 3 X PEOPLE WILL EACH RECEIVE AN AFRICAN TOMB GIFT BASKET FILLED WITH AFRICAN GOODIES! Hmmm.
Ah, my ashes spread in mother Africa.
Actually, I'm having mine secretly dumped into a cement mixer of some tall edifice (the choice of building is up to my family) that will then be a monument to me! I'm hoping that they come up with something ironic (an addition to the Ronald Reagan Library, a Walmart, etc...) Cheap and good fun.
I'm not sure what the hell this is, but I sure don't like it! It teems with "crocodile" and "hippo"!
"Deceaseds Details:
Name:
Surname
Date Diseased:
Track and Trace No:
Was this person a captive slave?.................
If the answer was YES! Please write and tell us their story!
All persons details are to be stored and a plaque placed in the memorial monument upon its completion! This includes everybody we release!"
Heh, it's interesting to see the juxtaposition of earnest attempts at capitalism with some odd (to me, at least) sympathy for the 'diseased'. Of course, funeral homes and cemeteries and methods of disposal vary from culture to culture, so we can't really evaluate it without knowing what is considered de rigeur in South Africa. Of course, this site looks like it is trying to appeal to western culture more than anything, so whatever filters we use to decipher it have to be adjusted accordingly.
