Another interesting chap.
When S. Sanborn, an American hatmaker, died in 1871, he left his body to science, bequeathing it to Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., (then a professor of anatomy at Harvard Medical School) and one of Holmes's colleagues. The will stipulated that two drums were to be made out of Sanborn's skin and given to a friend on the condition that every June 17 at dawn he would pound out the tune "Yankee Doodle" at Bunker Hill to commemorate the anniversary of the famous Revolutionary War battle. The rest of his body was "to be composted for a fertilizer to contribute to the growth of an American elm, to be planted in some rural thoroughfare."

I was reading about Frances Hodgson Burnett over the weekend. Born in Cheetham, Manchester. She was an author late 19th early 20th Century, famous for `the Secret Garden ` and others.
The reason I post is that I couldnt believe how many times she moved house all over the World, in those days. Travel then must have been much more of a hassle in every way.
She lived in Salford and other places near Bolton in her youth.
I love reading biographies of interesting people.

I think I was listening to radio 4 and there was a mention of her, so I researched.
I read this book at school as a kid and had no idea she was born so local.

Been looking at those 'simple' funeral plans, and I can get cremated for under a grand. I'll have some of that.

Anyhoo, I'm offering a special £500 cremation service if you fancy nipping down to Norfolk on November 5th? We're having a fire sale.

Bit of a treat in our Ocado delivery yesterday. To my shame, I scoffed the whole cake. Vegan, and delicious.
