About: I have a blast creating things, inventing things and pulling pranks. Getting a nose full of sawdust is very satisfying! Retired Carpenter and Construction Superintendent for the University of Illinois.

Step 1: First, Build an Estes Model Rocket.

Use a "Big Daddy" kit, ranked 2 out of 5 on the skill level, or a "V-2" kit, ranked #3. Build the rocket but leave out the parachute and all related paraphernalia, since it won't be coming back! Glue the E12-0 engine in place. Insert a firework 'mortar shell' on top of the engine.

Step 2: Decorate, Fill With Ashes, Light It Off!

Sprinkle some remains of your beloved on top, write some farewell notes, attach the nosecone, insert fuse or Estes igniter and send it off! Spectacular finish to a wonderful life. Perfect for Baby Boomers who want to go out with a bang!
