Mummification, it's not just for Ancient Egypt any more!
My post about DIY funerals spawned several interesting comments. People had different thoughts and ideas. The Mad Perseid had this to say:
Why can't we just do it the old-fashioned way. I want to be turned into a mummy so I can scare visitors in a couple thousand years or so. Of course, a nice, tasteful sarcofagus will be required.Well, Mad, you can do that!
Summum, a Utah based company, can take care of all of your mummification needs. It takes about 90 days and will run you nearly $70K (more if you're a "very large adult") but in the end you are ready to travel into eternity in style in your own custom made "mummiform" or sarcophagus.
Now, the scaring visitors in a couple of thousand years part is up to you. I suggest including a curse with your mummy, to freak the bejeebers out of future archaeologists. Something simple, perhaps "If you violate the sanctuary of this tomb, you will be subject to a $70,000 restocking fee."

I may have to think about that one. Just think, you could be the family heirloom! I can just see my mummy sitting in my great great grandkids living room. :)
I love the fact that you actually think that your Grandkids would want you in the first place.....mmmmm.
