Was Roy buried, cremated, or stuffed and mounted?

I just knew somebody would bring that up ... Dale Evans said she loved their animals a great deal and having them stuffed and mounted didn't seem right to her when she and Roy appeared on a religious show together just before Roy died ... And much to Dale's chagrin, Ol' Roy quipped that he wanted to be stuffed and mounted by the same taxidermist when he died ... And all Dale could manage was something like, THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN ! ... AND IT'S ILLEGAL ANYWAY !

I had 2 boyhood idols growing up. Richie Ashburn, Phillies baseball player, Hall of Famer, and announcer, and Roy Rogers. So many times we hear later in life that our hero's/idols were just media creations and were lacking in their personal life. Roy and Richie were not like that, they were the real deal. Wish I would have gotten to at least shake their hand like I was able to do with Charlton Heston at the Grand American a few years ago.

I got to see Roy and Trigger when I was a very small child,but I can't remember it at all now. My father told me I stood there with my mouth open looking at Trigger... I know I always wanted a set of pistols and belt like Roy had and one of his fancy shirts with the bandanna.He was a great man.

The real question is "How did the Roy Roger guns and hunting gear go at the auction out west this month?". The date slipped by me and I didn't buy anything. There were some great possibilities.

Perhaps this was brought up already, but Imus in the morning had a discussion with a Christies rep. She said the articles came from the Roy Rodgers museum in Branson , Mo. The museum as could not support it self in this economy. Roy, before he died, told the family if it became a liability to hang on to the memoribila after he died , to sell it off to his fans and don't let it be an anchor to the family. Sounds like the class act he really was. We could use integrity in the entertaintment business like that nowadays. Bless you Roy!
