Your plans for your death... Cremation or Burial?
 

Me? Simple cremation, non religious service, ashes sprinkled in the same 'Garden of Remembrance' as the other members of my family before me...

You?

Definitely cremate. That burying a body in a box thing is leftover religious superstition :2 cents:

My father and I had that conversation many years ago. He sat me down in the dining room and placed a shoe box between us on the table.

As he began to remove the lid, he stated that trash collection was Thursday mornings. From inside the box he pulled out a 1.5 inch wide PVC pipe with caps at both ends.

He ordered me to cremate his remains, pour enough of his ass-hes into the pipe to fill it, and whatever was leftover to toss out Wednesday night. The pipe was to be buried at the location where first wife was laid to rest.

His ex absolutely despised him. As I believe in spirits and allowing the dead to RIP, I chose to not disrespect the ex by burrowing his ass-hes into her grave.

Cremation.

My father died when I was a baby, and he is buried between my grandmother's house and my aunt's house in New Jersey. When I was a teenager I would spend hours there listening to my boom box and smoking cigarettes. It was a sad, depressing place. Every time I return "home" to NJ it's the very first place I visit. We usually land at JFK or Newark, and my father's garve is on the way to where we usually spend time at in NJ.

I don't want that for my kid. Cremation and then bury the ashes at sea in Hawaii at Waikiki Beach where we have a condo. Done. When my kid comes to "visit" me she can have fun at the beach instead of a freaking cemetery.

Yup. Plus it leaves an 'obligation' for those still alive to go visit 'The Grave' - Scattered ashes and nothing to visit, free loved ones up from feeling guilty.

I have already told my family that I want to be cremated after my death and have my ashes scattered at sea. I'd rather people who love me keep me in their memory than having to visit a sinister place.

I am donated to science and burn what they don't want.

how big is the oven? :1orglaugh

i'll die in Thailand, soooo burn baby burn :winkwink:

After what happened this year, I'm not sure I can die. They just keep replacing parts.

You also have the option of donating your body to science, in which case it is possible that your amputated head will end up in a tik tok or instagram video of a plastic surgery class in Turkey.

:thumbsup Glad your recovering

One limb at a time, baby... One Limb At A time !!! :2 cents:

Better than having to buy a 6 person burial plot. Well, better than the government having to buy it I suppose, as Im going to be having a paupers funeral paid by them anyway - "He died as he lived his life" - Via government handouts :thumbsup

i suggest a Viking funeral pyre :thumbsup

Cremation. And my will stipulates that some of me is to be flushed down the toilet.

I had started many years ago to put payments down on a plot for my wife and I - and just recently finished paying off the stone marker. I've had the discussion with my dad who was very religious and explained over the years you're going to be dust and ashes anyways so either way you'll get the same results.

He opted for cremation as am I. No sense spending all that extra money for no need and especially when it comes for plots - you have extra space in case of emergency if someone in the family needs it.

People fear it I think because for some reason they think they'll feel it - which is untrue. If you're a christian and feel cremation is wrong then I only have to remind you of the many christians who were burned at the stake for what they believed. Made no difference to God and certainly not the person afterwards.

My wife is still undecided so - going to have to leave it up to her. Most people don't want to think about it since it maybe to far off for them I suppose.

That's all I can say on the subject.

When I was a kid cremation was prohibited by the Church; apparently they changed their mind.

cremation CS? ... Really! I was so looking forward to walking my dogs all over your grave so they could take a shit. You need to rethink this bud..!:thumbsup:thumbsup

Very true - here in Canada not only have they changed their minds on that but also mixed marriages (black and white) but mostly at least in my they are accepting of gay - lesbian and even trans people which I find shocking since I grew up in the days when everyone wore a suit and there were more cultural rules during the 60's. They also have for some set aside the choir and opted for bands and more youth involvement - allow smoking and moderate drinking along with several other things that were once banned. It's not perfect but at least I see them trying.

There is no "eaten by a wild animal" option . . .

Yes!!!

Who is for poorial ?

Thanks, I feel better now than I have in the past three or four years.

Wouldn't you prefer a farm with a constant source of fresh manure?

Cryogenics...and eventually cloning.

put me in a biodegradable egg & plant a nut tree on top!
this wey all who remember me can also enjoy eating my nutz!

my parents will both donate to science. grave duty, tend the plants, light a candle, spend a while remembering some overrated bullshit just to not feel alone. sucks!

Neither!
 

Heyyy Great Question!!

Turning wasted asses in to Souil™️ Assets for AncestorGardens Afforestation!

Just about to launch seed round funding 🌲

I don `t care. Does it need to be planned?

It my family's making the decision?

Saran Wrap and a ditch.

Green burial in mushroom suit, no casket

I've paid for a cremation package from Neptune Society. We used Neptune Society to cremate my wife's father when he died earlier this year. They handled everything from start to finish. Since I'm older than my wife by 22 years, I wanted to give her a clean finish and a fresh start.

I want to be mummified and have a pyramid built around me.

Cremation, no public service and my ashes to be tossed in the toilet. You're dead, no one will care!

I like some cremation urns where your ashes are protected by an angel...

Thought OP might relish in the hard (solid) fact of finally being turned into feces . . .

@CurrentlySober - think about it, you can make the vultures happy for a long time

Yeah, but i cunt a4d2 get 2 Tibet... :(

Creamation.

Then I'm going to choose the places I've never been and leave enough vials of ashes and money for the people I love (children, grands, nieces, and nephews) to take me to these places and set me free.

There will be a little bit of me all over, and my family will have wonderful memories of places they may never have gotten to go otherwise.

Sounds dreamy right? That's what I want.

FYI for those who remember JFK - he was cremated and his ashes put into a huge Vodka bottle. Man had class.

you won't have to die. within the next 20 years you'll be able to download your brain into a virtual online computer world and live forever

Maybe we're already doing that now?

not to be nosy, but why not put their asses in a plane now, while you are alive, and make the memories with you? those will be some sad trips if the mission is to drop off your ashes. unless they don't like you. if that's the case, donate your money to charity :upsidedow

Sometimes but I'm not sure it's the best solution.

What kind of life is that ? ?

i chuckle at the concept that you might assume that I had another 20 years left in me... :(

Didn't know him personally but how old was he when he passed?

I think he was 71 when he died - a few months away from his 72 birthday. He was married for about 46 years

Way too young @71 but you never know.

watch UPLOAD on Amazon Prime lol

Cremation

Takes up less space

Plus, there's something about being reduced to dust that seems so... PURIFYING
