  • My wife tells me that she will cremate me and put my remains in a Mountain Dew bottle. She knows me so well.

  • Well, assuming that I outlive my parents, I don't have any family to do anything with them. But I would personally rather be cremated and have my ashes spread in some beautiful California location.

    I think I might donate my body for medical research. Not sure what they do with the remains. Gotta find out more details.

    That's what I plan to do. We have a Medical College here and I have to register. When they are finished with me, I will have my remains buried at sea from A US Naval Vessel.

    I have no idea.  I just hope they "make sure" I'm really dead before they bury me or whatever.
    Being put in a casket in the cold ground is not appealing to me.  I'd rather just be put in the ground so I can at least nourish the soil, preferably under a tree (one that won't be cut down anytime soon) that will have "me" leaves on it every year. hahahaha yes I know it's weird, but it is a way of continuing to give (nourishment) after I'm gone.  (The redwood forest has a long living trees)


    "Me" flowers would be nice as well.       This post was edited by Art Lover at March 13, 2017 1:22 PM MDT

    Not weird at all. They call it a natural burial and you will indeed replenish what you have used from the earth.

    My niece discovered this wonderful idea of having your ashes used to fertilize a plant or tree in a forest somewhere.

    I don't have any place of real significance that I'd say I'd like my ashes strewn.

  • I'm gonna burn. Mrs Didge knows where to dispose of the ashes.

    I hope she makes sure you are dead.

  • Me too. I spend so much time at this computer than when I doze off with my fingers resting on the keyboard I could easily be mistaken for a corpse. :(

  • I haven't asked. My mother still has my father in a small wooden box so I'm not hopeful it's going to be anything memorable.

    I'm being cremated and my ashes will be spread over the Potomac River.

    I don't know. I told them to just throw it in the woods, but I don't think they're too keen on that idea.

    I'll give you my address.   Tell them to send me some of you.  I collect dead people.  I have my mom in a few bottles and I have all kinds of skeletons of dead animals.

    I'd love to have you added to my dead collection.

    Me too.  And if I decide to let you "go" I will pick a place I know you will love.  Something ocean and thrown off a yacht.  Maybe in a cocktail glass filled with champagne and ashes.  

    Love it.  Love you.
