So what do you want done with your body after death?

Recommended Posts

My best friend's mom was in the hospital over the weekend with a stress-induced heart problem.

When she got back home I was talking with her and we were discussing how stuff would be if she died.

She said that whatever happens, she wants to have any good organs donated, and the rest cremated. Then the container of ashes is to be stored in a Prada bag.

I thought that was pretty interesting.

I'll stick to a simple cremation for now and I'll hammer out the details later as I find more significance to my life :)

Harvest everything you possibly can. Cremate the rest.

Or, donate it to medical research.

Take what can be salvaged... burn the rest. I've looked into saving some of the ashes to be placed into pendants for people who are important in my life. Whatever else remains I want spread in the mountains in Utah.

Donate the organs that are useful. Cremate the rest of me and split up the ashes to be spread in my favorite places. I would request that as many of my family and friends as possible visit those places to spread my ashes.

Some would go to the sky, some would be spread in the high mountains here in Colorado, and some would go down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon.

And THEN, cremate what's left, and hook it up to a mini-rig with an AAD, raise a glass in toast (all on me, bill the estate) and cut me loose into "Blue Skies" for all eternity!B|

Harvest the organs, burn me, and dump my ashes on a dive or something.

Either that, or bury me unembalmed in a pine coffin in an unmarked grave.




i second that. it's all part of the cycle. titanium boxes and good looking corpses are profane.
namaste, motherfucker.

Donate everything possible. Cremate the rest, and divided up among family and friends to do with whatever they want. They can keep me, jump with me, or what ever!

Unless...i'm murdered or cause of death is suspicious, then I want to be buried as is, and permission is given to exhume me if need be.

Every possible bit and piece should be donated to those who need it. Then an ash dive with some, and the other ashes given to my parents to do what they need to do with em.

My boyfriend Jeff on the other hand..

He wants to be dressed in a gorilla suit, and a tu-tu and then have his body chucked out of a plane over some woods to someday be found by a very confused hunter or backpacker.

I have no clue....I don't want to take up space, and the thought of being burned kinda bothers me...I know, I know, I will be dead and won't feel a thing....the whole thought of worms crawling through my eye sockets gives me the willys too....I do know what I want done during the funeral, if that counts for anything....I don't know, I guess with the other stuff, just surprise me.[:/]


I WILL get it hammered out before its all said and done though...I know! I'll let ya know, k?

Now here lies the dilemma. How do we know we won't feel a thing? So the choice is possibly to feel yourself burn into ashes or feel your body being eaten by bugs.[:/]

It's all so confusing.:S
