What A Way To Go

Missed this one from the holiday.
"Cremated remains part of fireworks show

July 3, 2008

INDIANAPOLIS—One of the fireworks bursting above the city this year will contain a bit of cremated remains -- a fitting tribute, organizers say, to the man who ran the annual event for 40 years.

Meredith Smith died in February at age 74. About a half-teaspoon of his ashes will be in a fireworks shell that will create a white burst in the sky for the finale of the show, set for Thursday night.

"I can't think of a better way," said family friend Kevin Moss.

He also will be memorialized through hundreds of T-shirts referring to the tribute as "the last shot."" Cremated remains part of fireworks show - Boston.com


According to Indiana law, cremated remains may be disposed of on the property of a consenting owner, uninhabited public land or in a waterway.
