Vallerina 2 #102 January 9, 2006 I don't care what anyone does with my body after I am dead. I want my organs donated, but other than that, whatever makes my family happiest.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #103 January 9, 2006 Give my knees to the needy, then cremate my ass. Do an ash dive followed by a wake. Which reminds me, I should sew up another ash bag. The wake must include lots of food, a keg of beer, a crate of red wine and a bag of weed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindsey 0 #108 January 9, 2006 QuoteYou can have it both ways. You can get cremated, and then bury the urn. Put a headstone over it for future family geneaological research. Takes up very little real estate. If you get buried in a green cemetery you only take up a little real estate for a little while. That's still what I want....to rot in the earth. linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

JohnRich 4 #110 January 9, 2006 Quoteyeah you're right it wouldn't take up alot of space but then there's still the idea of being buried that somehow defeats the point of being cremated. I don't know.......probably just a mental thing for me. Burying an urn can be an informal thing that saves tons of money over a formal coffin funeral with all the trappings.

markd_nscr986 0 #112 January 9, 2006 Cremated (if enough money,traditional funeral pyre on a scale replica of a 10th century Norse longship set adrift and ablaze on a high mountain lake)if not, local bake and shake Oh......... and a wild celebration of life party following a modest Buddhist ceremonyMarc SCR 6046 SCS 3004 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GARYC24 3 #113 January 9, 2006 Your post made me think of this song. Please don't bury me Down in that cold cold ground No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up And pass me all around Throw my brain in a hurricane And the blind can have my eyes And the deaf can take both of my ears If they don't mind the size Give my stomach to Milwaukee If they run out of beer Put my socks in a cedar box Just get "em" out of here Venus de Milo can have my arms Look out! I've got your nose Sell my heart to the junkman And give my love to Rose Repeat Chorus Give my feet to the footloose Careless, fancy free Give my knees to the needy Don't pull that stuff on me Hand me down my walking cane It's a sin to tell a lie Send my mouth way down south And kiss my ass goodbye - JOHN PRINE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiQ 0 #114 January 9, 2006 I'd much rather be buried than cremated. However, none o' that mortician and graveyard crap. Ideally I'd like to be buried somewhere near a tree or some such thing, but definitely not in a coffin. I'd rather my body give something back to the Earth by becoming a bit o' wormfood and compost. Unfortunately...it's not legal in the U.S. to bury people outside of graveyards...."...I'm going to feed your fingers to the wolverines..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,439 #115 January 9, 2006 QuoteFor those say they want to donate their organs be sure your family knows about that. The longer you stay on life support, the more the organs waste away. In order to get viable organs, they need to be taken ASAP. You might want to make sure this is stated in a Living Will. Mine states that if two doctors come to my family and tell them I'm brain dead, take the organs and pull the plug. Something else to be aware of is that at least in some hospitals if you decide to donate a loved one's organs, you cannot then be with them as they are unhooked from the machine. It happens too close to the actual harvesting, apparently. Doesn't change my wishes, but something to be aware of.

boinky 0 #121 January 10, 2006 [B][I][BLUE]I have specific things I want when I die.[/BLUE][/I][/B] *I want any usable organs donated to worthy causes. *I have someone specific who is supposed to take all of my gear and teach people CRW who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford the gear. I NEVER want it sold. Selling it only helps the person with the most money. It doesn't help those who really WANT to jump...but might not otherwise be able to. *[B]DO NOT[/B] send me flowers when I die. If you want me to have flowers, do it while I am alive. I can not enjoy them after I am dead. *I want the most awesome party given at the dz. Do not cry for me. I've had a hell of a life. Laugh, party and celebrate my happiness. I've done things most people will only dream of. I've bounced, laughed and enjoyed almost everything I've come in contact with for the last 5 years. *I want to be cremated and I want my ashes to be mixed up into fireworks and I want them shot off at the party after dark.

Lindercles 0 #125 January 10, 2006 To borrow a quote from a wise man, "There is no waiting period in Texas for anyone who even thinks about doing Christmas in a Texas way like you did. You were a naturalized Texas as soon as you crossed the border." The rest is just details. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
