I feel the same way. I like cremation, but the green thing nags at me. Last I heard, BDH wanted to be a reef ball. I told him I was putting him out at the curb and using his insurance money for boy toys. He was okay with that, too.

I don't get a lot of the wedding traditions. Like the whole "remove the bride's garter" thing. That's just creepy - why are we messing around under this woman's skirt in public? I went to one where the guests were trying to get the groom to take off her garter with his teeth. (Really? In public? In front of her parents? NO, no. No. Save it for the honeymoon.)
Plus do I want to catch this married woman's underwear? I do not. At least the women get to catch a nice bouquet. And the whole "pay to dance with the bride/groom" thing is just beyond strange.
Agreed. I'm having NONE of that at my wedding. I'm breaking with all cookie-cutter traditions (except the couple's first dance as married people) and making some of my own. Some that involve musical jams and singing. Yup.

Mike Royko once wrote that when he died, he wanted his body to be placed in a Hefty bag and dropped off at the end of the bar at the (then one and only) Billy Goat Tavern. IIRC he wrote cryptically that "they'd take care of the rest". I always liked that idea.

In the unlikely event that I get married, I'll want the reception line to be for the bride and I.
