According to his codicil he wrote:

"I hereby direct that my body be cremated as being a more sanitary, scientific and reasonable disposition of all that remains of the human body after the departure of the soul - - 'dust to dust and ashes to ashes,' and I prefer mine ashes. No flowers or gabfest at my bier. A plain Masonic sendoff."* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Jul 23 2021, 20:17:37 UTC
