I think I will die alone, and probably throw me into a mass grave  >:-)


I want to donate organs too  :angel:

I know my dad would respect my wishes but barring the unthinkable he will go first.  I know my mother would not honor my wishes... sister is a maybe she accepts but is still dealing, brother hell no...  So really I am unsure at this time....

However I do not want my organs going to anybody else as I'd get no say on the person they'd be saving and I'll be damned before I save an ->-bleeped-<-.  Also I just don't like the idea of being say on a table for science... so ya.  It will have to be a burial or cremation.

I'm jewish and non-op.  I would like a jewish burial, wearing my favorite nightgown.  Jewish caskets are always closed.  Since the Old Testament specifically forbids men from wearing women's undergarments, I have always wondered if they will do it.
It's easier to change your sex and gender in Iran, than it is in the United States.  Way easier.

Please read my novel, Dragonfly and the Pack of Three, available on Amazon - and encourage your local library to buy it too! We need realistic portrayals of trans people in literature, for all our sakes

I have no plans, but after my last scare of the chest pains, I need to.  Just cremate me and spread my ashes in the ocean.  If I could afford it, I would have some launched into space.

I either want an oak tree planted on top of me, because oak trees are beautiful and sadly quite rare here in Sweden (in the olden days, we cut a lot of oak forests down to make warships since oak is hard wood, and they haven't grown back), or I want to be made into a diamond and then buried deep in the earth (yeah, really sappy, but the idea of surprising someone making a vegetable patch or whatever is fun. "Oh, look what I found when I was tilling the field, Mom!"). I want to be buried as Elias, as a man, not as a "Beloved Daughter" or anything. I think I'd want them to play either "Death is the Road to Awe" from the film The Fountain or "Welcome to Lunar Industries" from the film Moon, and quite possibly Hope by Bauhaus ("Every morning would be brighter if you broke the line and tore up rules, make the most of your living time, no?"). I want them to make the ceremony a non-religious one.

What a coincidence that I was just thinking about this earlier today. I was actually thinking through my head of this really macabre conversation I wanted to have with my SO when they came home from work but now I'm thinking that it can wait. I don't want them be scared that I might do something bad to myself.

I think I would want a cremation. If my future pans out the way I sincerely hope and imagine it to be, I would be cremated and the remains buried. While the idea of scattering the ashes is a romantic idea to me I don't really agree with having it done for myself. But if I'm not cremated I have the utmost hope that I'm buried in -anything- but a dress. They can remember me how they like, whether they remember me as she or he, they'll still remember I was the same person no matter what pronoun or name they used. Wherever I go after this life I don't think its going to matter what I was here on Earth.

Just went through this with a family member.  The funeral home made a nice dvd with pics from the deceased's life from childhood on. Was very nice.  Except not something I want for myself, for obvious reasons.

Once I'm gone I suppose I shouldn't care what people do.  However I think my kids would respect my wishes, and I hope not to die until I am much older and they are in charge of my funeral.

If I were to die now I could not guarantee my family wouldn't revert to having a funeral for "Girl Name".  And that would tick me off. I might have to haunt them.

I've put this on my list of things that I'm going to worry about after I'm dead, and not before.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

Tekla, good girl!

one more BS item of my todo-list before I'm dead.
Actually why give those poor survivors another headache yet, when they just got rid of one - me :-)

Thank you,
Axelle

If they give me enough attention when I'm alive I'll let them ignore me once I'm dead.

I'm definitely getting cremated too.  I love heat and fire, but cold and darkness give me fits and make me depressed.  Though I'll be long gone, I'd rather not leave my body to the conditions it doesn't like while it's alive.

Besides, ashes fly. ;)

I really don't care since I'll be gone.  But I guess, like it's been mentioned, that it's far off, so maybe it will change.  I guess when I'm older, that will be something I discuss with my family, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be as a female.
