Don DeLillo: Space Burials

"They have a new thing, maybe you heard, called space burials."

"I like it already."

"They send your ashes into space."

"Sign me up."

"They have orbits you can select. There's an orbit around the equator. This is one orbit. The earth turns and you turn. Not you, your ashes."

"Is there a waiting list?"

 "There's a waiting list. I saw it on the news. Plus the premium shot. This is way out there."

"Deep space."

"Way out. You and the stars."
