We've had the thing 17 years. Trying to talk the wife into burying it in the back yard like we always did growing up, but she wants to spend 300 dollars getting it cremated.
Funeral for our ice cream maker
- Thread starter Colonoscopy
- Start date
You got a backyard full of buried ice cream makers?
Uh no. This was a wedding gift from an aunt on her side of the family. It's the only one we've had. The aunt did pass away 5 years back and my wife was always quite close with her, so maybe that's part of it.
It must hold a lot of sentimental value after 17 years of faithful service. It's understandable that you have different ideas about how to bid it farewell. Burying it in the backyard sounds like a nostalgic and heartfelt gesture reminiscent of simpler times. On the other hand, spending $300 for cremation might seem excessive for an appliance.In my own reflections on funeral arrangements, I've contemplated low cost funerals like cremation as well. It's a practical consideration, especially when thinking about the financial aspects of saying goodbye to a loved one, or in this case, a beloved appliance.

I'm not sure who makesd your ice cream, but if you can get him/her cremated for a mere $300 that's a win. Burying him/her in the back yard may cause an eventual stench.
So long friend. You weren't a good Ice Cream maker. You were the best.
