Your final resting place?

[Seshatneferw]

I'd really like to be able to contribute to something like this, after the medical establishment has used up whatever they can.

I want to be buried in a cemetery next to my family and my husband if I ever get married.  Please don't burn me, that's all I ask.  I've been burnt too many times in this life.

I can relate to how you feel about that.  If I could just arrange for my body to not be found...

[cindybc]

Hi Pia, I can feel and have also experienced  what you have said. I am certainly glad those days are over I am loving the way my life is now for however much of my life is left I am living it to the fullest and death and dying the farthest from my mind right now, I feel vigorous and I fell young inside which I think is a rarity for someone 62 years old

Wild! Has anyone considered The Body Farm?

Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:

Chorus:
Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size
Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get "em" out of here
Venus de Milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to Rose

Repeat Chorus

Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye

I want to be cremated, and then my ashes compressed to form a diamond. As for the diamond it can be chucked wherever, buried in the garden, flushed down the loo, or be placed in a bottle and given to a young hobbit to help him in times of great darkness..

Definitly cremated though. Maybe my ashes could be secretly mixed into all the burger patties at McDonalds? Or, more likely I would like my ashes to be placed in a bronze sculpture of a peaceful curled up sleeping cat and placed somewhere that gets a lot of sun. I would like that, sleeping in the sun as a cat.

I want to be mummified and be put in a cemetery mausoleum just like this one:

..and incidentally I want to be there all by MYSELF.  No one else!

I have just told my wife, if I go before her, to just do it in the cheapest way you want. I don't really care as I won't be around to care. I will not pay for it either.

[Laura91]

As long as I'm cremated I don't really care.

I feel the same way.

[dawn]

A viking funeral would be ideal, but simply not feasible
Boat, fire and my sacrificed minions... what more could a corpse ask for ?
so i reckon standard old cremation it is

[tekla]

Is the old Egyptian deal of burying the king with his subjects off the list?

And I picked Tahoe (its in my final instructions, including the music I want played) so that when people come to visit me they can be in the most beautiful place on earth, and get a little skiing in too. 

[Pica Pica]

don't really care, i'll be deaded.
as long as someone misses me.

[Blanche]

I guess the place is irrelevant, for when it's time for me to go, I don't think I'll get the chance to choose where to be. I'd like to see all the faces who have ever sent friendly smiles my way, followed by those I've loved, then I want to feel absolute ecstasy, a rush of pure happiness and adrenaline. Then in a sky of air, I want to float and buzz alone with complete flexibility.

[tekla]

It's just a really long dirt nap, anything else is unproven.

[cindybc]

Hi Pica Pica, I have to much to dooded before I deaded. I am still going to get abducted by aliens and live forever, and if I'm a good girl they'll let me pilot their ship.

[tekla]

You mean your NOT writing this from a spaceship?

[Just Mandy]

I can't even begin to think about this. I'm terrified of dying but I have zero
problems doing things that could kill me. Crazy I know.

Amanda

[KarenLyn]

Sprinkle my ashes on or near the ocean. No memorial. Let me just fade away into obscurity.

Dennis

DITTO!!

Karen Lyn

[Christo]

I can't even begin to think about this.

Amanda

Yep same here.  dont wanna think 'bout dyin.  if it's gonna happen its gonna happen. But I dont wanna think 'about it.

don't really care, i'll be deaded.

Kinda of what I think to.  I dont care.

A viking funeral would be ideal, but simply not feasible
Boat, fire and my sacrificed minions... what more could a corpse ask for ?

Being scandinavian, I have to admit that has it's appeal.  Clasping my sword to me.  Collared submissives lying at my feet... (Don't worry, Ell, it's just a fantasy.)

Is the old Egyptian deal of burying the king with his subjects off the list?

Wouldn't there be technical problems with that?  If all your subjects go with you, who does the burying?
