I have no clue

If he had been cremated, no ice required.

Well true, but I can't imagine it would take that long to bury him in any condition. I will just have a marker put up at Andersonville here in Ga. Or well, someone will in my behalf.

RIP

(I noticed that Junior Trump said that Ermey will be "interned" at Arlington. "Interred" is more likely.)

Quiet neighborhood, the best neighbors, and well maintained lawns.

R. Lee Ermey died on April 15, 2018, but he was buried today with honors at Arlington. I was there in person. While there, I made sure to pay my respects at the tomb of the unknown soldier.

Just happened to watch FMJ last night, best performance of a DI I've ever seen.
No one of late has never promoted the Marines as much as this man.
