Last Ride On The Layout

Model Train Enthusiast Has Ashes Placed in Miniature Railway Car After Death
https://amp.wsls.com/inside-edition/mod ... ocialshare

Ashes of a model railway enthusiast were placed inside a model coal car as a unique way of honoring a man who dedicated his life to miniature railroads.

Peter Hurst, of Leeds, England, spent 40 years building a miniature train village in the attic of his home, which became his final resting place after he died in January. He was 88 years old.

"I thought it was a nice way of honoring him,"his 57-year-old son, Simon, told SWNS. "Weve been taking people up to see it."

He joked that the station the train is housed inside, which was built by Hurst over the course of his lifetime, was aptly named Ashurst.

Yeah, but it's got a dead guy on it. I don't want to play trains there.

Are you putting us on, Roy?

Ecclesiastes 9:4-6 reveals the condition of the dead.
4 There is hope for whoever is among the living because a live dog is better off than a dead lion. 5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they no longer have any share in what is done under the sun.

He was cremated. There is no dead guy on the layout, just some elements of the earth that did not go up the cremation oven's chimney.

Of course, if he was Hindu then he has a whole new set of problems to deal with but he is still gone from the layout.

There are probably more "dead guys" floating around in the CA post-cremation than can be easily counted. Stay inside your bunker!!!
