When I die...

What would you like to happen to you? WIll you be buried? Cremated? Given to Medical Researchers? It's a silly question but I have read most of the posts today.:jiggy:

Whatever sits comfortably with my family; if there are any 'good bits' that someone can use, they are welcome to them:)

As I have said before.....bury me in the cemetary face down, so people can have a place to park their bikes when they go to visit me. :biglaugh:

My body seems kind of wasted buried, so I assumed giving all the parts away like organs and eye balls and whatever. I find the idea humorous that one of my friends would one day talk to someone who has my same creepy eyes. And when God does his judgement day thing rounding up all the dead, I will be all over the place and therefore perhaps the entrance into hell fire will be delayed! LOL

I'm not scared of dying,
And I don't really care.
If it's peace you find in dying,
Well then let the time be near.
If it's peace you find in dying,
And if dying time is here,
Just bundle up my coffin
'Cause it's cold way down there.
I hear that its cold way down their.
Yeah, crazy cold way down their.

[Chorus:]
And when I die, and when I'm gone,
There'll be one child born
In this world to carry on,
to carry on.

Now troubles are many, they're as deep as a well.
I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.
Swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell,
But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell.
Yes only my dying will tell.
Yeah, only my dying will tell.

[Chorus]

Give me my freedom for as long as I be.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
And all I ask of dying is to go naturally.
Oh I want to go naturally.

Here I go,
Hey Hey!
Here comes the devil,
Right Behind.
Look out children,
Here he comes!
Here he comes! Hey...

Don't want to go by the devil.
Don't want to go by demon.
Don't want to go by Satan,
Don't want to die uneasy.
Just let me go naturally.

and when I die,
When I'm dead, dead and gone,
There'll be one child born in our world to carry on,
To carry on.

Organs donated if they will be of any use, then the rest of me buried in a Green cemetary that puts you into the earth with no box to replenish the soil. You can put a tree on top of me if you want. :)

Wow I like that idea. Might go for that one myself :).
 
I'd love to buried in an Egyptian style coffin, amulets and all. Any family members are welcome to my organs if they need them (I know that sounds a tad selfish for somebody somewhere else may need my body parts, but for some reason, I feel that my attachment to my body parts will still matter to me as a person in death), and any leftover organs i'd like to be put in Egyptian canopic jars and buried with me.

I think I want to be cremated and taken up to a high cliff, or waterfall. I'd like either my ashes blown into the wind, or into the waterfall. I like maizes idea as well. Theres also this thing that NetDoc might be interested in. They are building an artificial reef, (i forget where) but your ashes are mixed the the cement parts of the reef. I think thats kinda cool.

Me? I just want a proper Church funeral, have prayers for me in my passing, and prayers for my family. I'd prefer to be burried so that my body doesn't have to be embalmed to put it down in its natural state, unchanged.

It's actually pretty common... there are no permits to file and you can either pay to have someone do it, or have your friends do it for you! :D

But I want to go deep. Deeper than any reef. To 10,000 feet or more. To be eaten by creatures we have yet to see.

Scavange me for parts if possible...

Idealy I'd like to be put up on a funeral platform for the birds to eat, then have whatever is left over put under a nice pile of rocks somewhere. Someplace that needs the protection being a burial ground can provide :D

I have a friend who wants to be turned into a stew and eaten by his closest friends. that way he becomes a part of them and provides them with life for a day.

I have another who wants a leg bone turned into a flute, book out of his skin, his sinew into a bowstring and 'something cool' done with his skull... popcorn bowl is definately out!

I will be cremated and my ashes will be scattered into the river. Absolutely no taking organs. It may sound selfish, but I strongly believe that none of me should stay intact after I've died.

I'd hate to be the person who'd have to carry your bird-picked remains. :)
