How would you like to be buried?

Trashionista · Jun 22, 2010

In a KISS casquette. (Casket? Kasket?)

In all seriousness, I just know I don't want an open casquette. I'd prefer everyone to remember me at my very best looks-wise, than all made up like some sort of Madame Tussaud's wax figure.

Then again, I'm not really into the idea of a wake - I'd prefer to be buried/cremated quietly, and then my surviving family have a reception for me.

Other than that, I haven't really thought about it.

I want to be burried in a nice cherry oak casket covered with calla lilies

You mean like an obelisk with a chamber in?

As long as I'm too dead to care, I won't care.

When I die I want them to take any part of me that can help someone else and then throw the what's left of me in the woods.

That would be just as good I suppose

I'd like to be buried just because I think burning your body is weird... I know you're dead but still. Me and my sister were saying that if we had a loved one who wished to be cremated we'd burry them instead. I mean... they'd be dead so they wouldn't really know haha. I just don't think I could burn somoneones body.

As long as I'm actually dead, I don't care. Closed casket though. If I'm cremated an open urn would be all right.

I don't even want a funeral. I would rather my family just take the time and money and spend it on something else. Just toss my body in the woods and then head to Disneyland!

Please reconsider a wake. It isn't for you, it is for the survivors. I skipped my mother's funeral - I was young, wanted to remember her alive, etc. - I had lots of trouble dealing with her death, Dad died, short (3 or 4 hours) wake and much easier time dealing with his death. The chance to see the body, if possible, makes it much easier to accept the death of a loved one. Honestly.

Or pour plaster on you to make a mold and then fashion you into a statue?

Whatever the living relatives see fit.
If they were to do the whole funeral service thing i'd rather there be no black, no mourning. Each life has to end and as such should be celebrated rather than grieved upon. They can grieve after the celebration, when the body has been put through whatever they wish it to be put through, when it's all been dead and buried (see, bad pun, awesome) then they can do whatever they wish when it comes to mourning. Just not at the funeral. I don't want any young people who would potentially go to view death as something sorrowful, something to be scared of or something that takes people away, I want them to know that it's a natural process we must all go through. That would be my only wish

In the Orthodox tradition, people kiss the corpse to bid him farewell. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Congratulations, ma'am! You're husband is dead. What are you going to do with the insurance money?

"WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYLAND!"

They do that in the south too. My SIL tried to make her kids kiss their grandfather in the coffin. Neither one has recovered from that. If they want to, fine, if not don't force the kids.

MacFall · Jun 23, 2010

Yeh, sorry. My mouth isn't going anywhere near dead flesh unless it's cooked and decidedly not human.

EDIT: or sushi.

But seriously, organ donation (need to get that card someday). Then whatever people want to do with it, I don't mind.

All we in Virginia need to do is check a box when we get our driver's license renewed. Pretty handy when so many deaths are caused by motor vehicles.

I don't care. I'll be dead (from the world, but alive in Christ!. Do with my body as you please.

Blank123 · Jun 23, 2010

I honestly don't care what they choose to do with my body after I'm dead. Its not like I'll be needing it again
