Spontaneous cremation...
My friend Jim brought his family over yesterday, and we were sitting around talking about this piano that I had been given from my Grandmother who had passed. It was a gift that held most value in memory. It had lost it's tune, and wasn't playable anymore.
Well, this is the solution we came up with. It would have cost too much money to repair the old spinet piano, and rather than pay some company to take it away, we moved it to the fire pit.
When it was all said and done, this felt like an honorable way to say goodbye.
It was an artistic sendoff, with lots of great visuals.

i'm sad to see it go... it was such a beautiful piece.... even if it didn't work so well.... too bad you didn't have the ability to fling it while on fire like that old northern exposure episode....

That's too bad. I would've picked it up AND paid you. For an out-of-tune piano. Standard tunings are overrated.

I would have liked to be there for that! Just went camping last week and have once again committed myself to eating more food cooked by fire.
