I'd rather have my ashes spread over the Pacific Ocean then let the bugs eat my body.
On a secondary note, my parents are buried in Riverside National Cemetary as my father served in the Navy in WWII. Did you know that veterans are buried at a rate of 1 every 15 minutes 5 days a week at that cemetary alone? Think about all the national cemetaries and the number of burials per day. WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, and current conflicts, veterans are dying at a record rate.
WW2 through Vietnam vets are old, old people die.
I don't find this shocking.
