After my grandmother's death, when the issue of burial/cremation came up, I asked my mother what she wanted.
She said she wanted to be stuffed, and put in her living room. I told her I would, with one hand out so I'd have a place to put my car keys where I could always find them. And, being my mother, she laughed. (She thinks I'm funny. Go figure.)
We do talk about that sort of thing, too, although never seriously. I think I'll suggest Nikki's solution to her. I'm sure she'd love it. (Nikki? You gonna come visit me? I'll take you to meet The Mom?)
