I have told my kids that I want to live long enough that each of them has to wipe MY ass for one week each. Then, tie me to my motorcycle and let me go out to the Grand Canyon and launch it one last time. Maybe it would be cooler to cover me in the fire jelly and do it at dusk.

Cremated, ashes mixed in with cast cannon balls, and shot out of a cannon I build, across a huge canyon or body of water. That way my friends and family can blow my balls off.

I can tell you, having been in charge of my parents care for several years, and their final arrangements, that if you are cremated (both of my parents were by their choice) whomever is in charge of your final arrangements, will receive a Cremation/ Burial Transit Permit (like a Passport for remains), from the Utah Department of Health, Office of Vital Records & Statistics.
I would also do your due diligence in choosing the entity to handle final arrangements. I looked at several, some were NOT confidence inspiring.

I've often thought of being cremated and shot out of a cannon like Hunter S. Thompson or buried in some remote place like Ed Abbey. I do already have a few plots in the local cemetery though, we'll see if I use them or not.

Is it true that if you are cremated you still have to buy a burial plot?

No you don't. Only if you want your ashes to be buried there. I recently helped someone scatter ashes in the Uintas and they didn't need a plot at a cemetery. Lots of cemetery's have columbariums now that are cheaper than a plot and are actually very nice.
My mom is going to be cremated.. We are going to take a shovel to the cemetery her parents are buried at, dig a hole on top of grandma and grampa an hide mom there too

You can actually do that legitimately, and have her added to the headstone. At least you can at the SLC Cemetery.
IIRC, they said you could put 4 cremains (cremated remains) in a plot that already has two caskets. Or 8 cremains in an empty plot.
I would think other cemeteries probably have similar policies.
