Morbid Question

Recommended Posts

Use all the usable pieces. If enough is left over adn the family can deal with it, use the rest for dissection practice. Cremate whatever is left when done, unless there's something that takes less space and energy by then.

It's morbid, yes. But it's a good question. I honestly think that everyone should have SOMEONE, preferably in their immediately family, that they discuss this with. If not, write it down and put it somewhere safe that will be found if it is ever needed.

Me? I would like to be cremated. I would like some of my ashes spread over my home dropzone, and some of my ashes spread in the Ocean off the coast of South Carolina, where I vacationed in the summer as a kid. Then I would like a memorial stone placed by the side of my Father's grave.

It's elaborate (what'd you expect?:D) but since you asked (and yes, this is all in my will.:P):

Take all my organs and everything useful and donate to those who can use them. Burn the rest of me and ship my ashes to LifeGem. Survivor must wear me forever.:)

I'd like to be cremated, some ashes spread over the Rockies, and some ashes put into keepsake charms for people who are dear to me.

Boy, you are really feeling bad, aren't you??!! That must be some sore throat you've got - hope you are feelin' better soon!:P:)
Coincidentaly, a friend who is always nervous about my skydiving recently asked me about this and wondered if I had a plan. The answer was easy for me: cremation.

For me part of it is pragmatic...I don't want to see 10K go into the ground (or whatever they cost these days). I'd rather my family use that for some other purpose than putting me under. Plus, there's something about the idea of spreading my ashes out there with nature that I like...an ash jump would suit me just fine.

But she brought up a point I hadn't thought of. She was very close to her sister, and after she died of breast cancer it helped in her grieving process to be able to place flowers every now and then at her grave - she told me I should consider my family's wishes in this since they are the ones left behind. I dunno. I still want the ash dive, but I see her point now.

Cremation for sure. Putting a dead body on display is sick even by *my* standards! Unless, of course, there is some sort of entertainment or educational value and most funerals probably get very low marks for both.

edited to add:
I suppose being fed to the raccoons would be ok too.:D:D

The naked dead bodies I've seen weren't all that entertaining, but I suppose if you put them in funny poses or set up some sort of "have your picture taken with a dead body" concession it could be entertaining.
