A morbid subject

[livecam]

Whichever is cheapest and that probably means cremation.  I wouldn't want to be prepped for a box by some expensive ghoul when the same money would buy the remainder of my family a couple of nice cruises.  I would donate organs for transplantation but I don't believe in tissue donation under any circumstances.  The tissue trade as opposed to organ donation is an unregulated, sleazy, for profit business that I want no part of living or dead.

I said it before, I want to be in my coffin, with my ass straight up in the air. That way, everyone can come by and kiss it one last time. FAMILY first of course. **** side note= if my language offends anyone, I'm me.

[Hawkeye]

Doesn't bother me if I'm buried or burned, but I know I'll end up burnt (My wife has a things about bugs and worms eating her once shes dead).  It wont matter either way I'll be back to haunt her soon enough.

I was thinking about songs and I like an oldtime favorite
"What A Day That Will be".  There is neat lively song I've heard
Jessy Dixon sing "Wait Til You See My Brand New Home".  It is on
a Gaither Homecoming show.  There are so many good songs.
At my husband's we sang his favorite "Victory in Jesus" and 4 other of
his favorite newer songs and the choir sang a beautiful praise song "Worthy
is the Lamb" at my request.  He had a beautiful funeral. Some of us
wrote special memories. I think at the feast afterwards for me I want people to
share funny and good memories.

 

Another song that brings me to tears other than Mr. Louis Armstrongs "What a Wonderful World"  is a song i heard for the first time sung by Wynona Judd,  she cried while she performed it and i totally lost it.  It is called,  "I Can Only Imagine"  BE-AU-TI-FUL!!!

[Ohio Buckeye]

Yes, I've thought about that song also.
I love music so lots of that.

I requested cremation, no funeral, and an unconventional wake.  That's tons of food, too much booze, and no preacher, please.  I've been to far too many funerals for people who were not church goers, and in some cases rather adamantly non-believers, whose family members had some preacher who had never met the deceased shouting hellfire and brimstone next to the coffin.  If they do that to me, I'm going to haunt them all.  (I can handle a little bit of "The Lord is my Sheppard" to comfort those in my family who want to hear it, but spare me the lecture.)

[kitkatz]

I agree. If my family has hell and brimstone preachers at my funeral I will get up out of the coffin and leave!  I want music that I love for the service.I want a few people who know me to speak about my life. Then party hardy!  Food, booze and dancing.

Thanks for the bump Okarol - I'll jump in....

When we first discussed my funeral plans a few years ago, I said that I wanted to be made into a diamond www.lifegem.com , and then put on a necklace for Lucie to wear every once in a while.  Well, at the time, she was only 19, and she freaked out. (she, her brother & sister are the closest I'll ever come to having children)

Now, my plans are for a simple cremation - no service, and my ashes can be brought back to London and dumped into the boating pond at Kensington Palace.  Because, as of this moment in my life - The story of me falling in the boating pond on Christmas Eve brings joy to the people I love and I want them to always remember the joy - and the irony that the pond will be my final resting place...

You bet it is!!!!

that lifegem is awesome- too bad its so expensive..

[skyedogrocks]

I want to be cremated.  I despise bugs and worms, the thought of my body in the ground with them freaks me out.  I do not want a morbid service, I want a party.  Rob wants to be cremated also.

I would like to be KIA and buried in Arlington National Cemetery.      Something about my patriotism....

I don't find it sad at all, I would like to die for my country.   

[okarol]

Well, I would rather see you serve and survive!
I love vets!

Well yeah, of course , but everyone has to die and when I do thats what I want. I don't look forward to death but it has to happen.

Cremated, half of ashes dropped off beach here in North Carolina, half off beach in Half Moon Bay, California where we used to live. Have written my obit, told a friend where to find it, to get one thing out of the way when the time comes (which I do not imagine will be any time soon)./bobt

[brenda]

What about pre-planned funerals? I have been thinking about doing that. Making sure it is payed for now so my kids won't have to worry about that. I want to be cremated, I'd like my ashes spread at Emerald Lake. I have some very special memories there.

[angela515]

I do not know where I want to be buried yet... I want to stay by my parents, but I know there is not many plots left and I also want my children to be able to be by me if they so choose. So, I might be cremated... I don't know yet.. I have been thinking about this since I almost died at the age of 13.. and I know I need to get it in order because anything can happen at any time... but yah, I just don't wanna think about it half the time.

So, to make a long story short, I don't really know what I shall be doing yet...

My husband and I both want to be cremated- and whichever one of us is still alive will keep the others ashes until we are both dead- then we want to be spread in the Indian River here in Florida, together, by our kids.

[paddbear0000]

I guess my husband and I aren't very sentimental. We both agree that we'll be cremated and dumped wherever. Whatever will save the other one the most most money! Neither one of us wants anyone to have to go bankrupt because we die.

My dad just did pre-pay he'll be cremated and ashes dumped on his favorite hunting hill. I could care less what they do with me as long as my organs were donated, Otto says he's stuffing me. I told Otto he'll be cremated sealed in a coffee can and then we are gonna play kick the can so i finally can really kick his ass around
