Hmmm....... I wonder what the reaction would be to just leave the body there ( say , red indian style , on poles ) , and allow nature to take it's course :O^

The thing is, how can they control the scattering of ashes? Anyone can find a quiet spot and scatter them and no-one is ever the wiser. -O-

There were complaints about people leaving caskets and urns at Granakop, Stephenson-Hamilton Memorial, Nkumbe and other look out points/places of interests. There were complaints about people using hides/places of interests as toilet stops.

I have no problem with the sign or the wording and I say Well Done SANParks.

Rather harsh, but I don’t have an issue with it as it was getting out of hand in the south as pointed out by Duke and I also say “well done SANParks”, however, I think that a small element of PR is lacking in the sign 0*\

I told my clan, don’t worry about ashes, just find the largest lion pride and roll me out the car 0:

All have different levels of sensitivity regarding this, so I’m not overly excited about a few boxes of ashes, etc, so in perspective, with a few other things on the go, not a big deal in my book -O-

Smokers have been scattering ashes for years throughout the park. I must have also spread a good couple of bodies worth when I was smoking. =O: =O:
