   Some interesting tidbits from the July 14,1999 edition of the Province
 newspaper in Vancouver by Knight Pidder:

   "Celestis

   Get a lift after death from the Celestis Commemorative Space Flight
 Service. This outfit will blast your cremated remains into orbit for
 $4,800.
   The Web site has biographies of those who already got boosted.

   Cryonics Institute

   These folks will freeze your carcass for $28,000.
   The plan is to get thawed when a cure is found for whatever ailed you.

   Door to Door

   We always wondered about this: What if you die far away from home?
   "Complete ship-out" by surface or air is included in this door-door
 mortuary delivery service.
   Cost: About $390, plus air freight.
