When you finally die....

artsygrrl · 08.11.2009, 10:36 PM

...would you rather:
1. Be cremeated and your ashes spread........?
2. Be buried...where?

I was just curious to know your thoughts.

Rob Instigator · 08.11.2009, 10:38 PM

i would like to be shot off in a rocket aimed at the sun, ASHES would be cheaper

alteredcourse · 08.11.2009, 10:38 PM

I just dont really want a big deal of it made.

I know that the people that would feel the significance are quiet people, who make peace privately. I would only wish for them to deal with my death in their own way, without being pestered or encumbered by pressures of "A DEATH!!" in their lives. And they could. Who knows who will die first, though. Either way, nature always wins.

EVOLghost · 08.11.2009, 10:39 PM

I'd like to be burned alive right before I die....save time and money.

girlgun · 08.11.2009, 10:39 PM

i BETTER be creamated.

i told my dad the other day... "should you outlive me....do not bury me, cremate me, serve pizza and play queen and none of this church shit... kthx" (it was at a funeral)

alteredcourse · 08.11.2009, 10:43 PM

Haha, yeah that would be pretty good, too.

I remember being about 10 and commanding my mother: "Mom, make sure to shoot me in the chest when I die." She was horrified. Nevermind me assuming that the mother would outlive the child, I had been reading too much fiction based pre-20th century when it wasnt entirely out of the question to be buried alive. It was my biggest fear.

automatic bzooty · 08.11.2009, 10:46 PM

i want to be mummified and put into my own fucking MASSIVE pyramid/shrine type thing.

...

er, i reckon cremation would be fine. toss me off somewhere that ends up being ~meaningful~ to me, maybe? i wouldn't want to be looming around all vased up in someone's house.

tbannach · 08.11.2009, 11:01 PM

i want to die opposing some sort of fascistic rule or tyranny of some sort, die in a heroic manner, give a rousing speech before i die, then sip the nectars of the heavans and watch my revolution begin on earth! mwhahahah. but seriously id like a peaceful death too.

girlgun · 08.11.2009, 11:09 PM

Forgot to say what I want done with my ashes. There's a really pricey and fancy mausoleum up the street. I want my ashes there. Work it out, floating slowly.

I want my ashes made into jewelry so my family members can wear them.

Haha. Niiiiiiice.

GeneticKiss · 08.11.2009, 11:20 PM

Depending on my mood at the end of my life, I either want to have a climate-controlled mausoleum (a la Vladimir Lenin or Evita Peron), or donate my body to science.

terriblecanyons · 08.11.2009, 11:29 PM

I don't really give a fuck as long as my wish for about 15 people to jump up and do the Thriller dance at my funeral while my body is propped up and I'm dressed as a zombie goes down.

Eaten by birds.

I'd never really thought about it before I read that Parsees leave their dead bodies out to be eaten by birds. The idea of it is appealing though.

Apparently it is illegal to do such a thing in Canada though. Why? I do not know. Dead things are all over the place being eaten by birds, why does it matter if the dead thing is human?

jerf · 08.12.2009, 02:04 AM

i want to be brought to a taxidermist and stuffed, and placed in a living room, so everyone can enjoy my company long after im gone.

or better yet, i could have my head mounted on the wall like so many deer, and put on display to see how long it takes friends and neighbors to notice.

it can go deer, deer, deer, jerf, deer, deer...

pbradley · 08.12.2009, 02:25 AM

I would want to be buried only if I considered my final resting place to be worth visiting. I really do enjoy the physical nature of the grave when visiting my grandparents' graves, though "enjoy" certainly isn't the right word. That physical sense of legacy with the past grounds me in my time.

I want to be stuffed, put on a chair with a smile and at my funeral people can get photo's with me like I'm Santi Claus.

Be cremeated and my ashes spread...i don't care where...could be in the toilet right there. After death my existence will be far away from here...or there isn't existence!
