    Cremate me then take my ashes to the fanciest gentlemans club and spread me around. That's what's in the will anyway.[:D]

    I'm donating my body to medical science. With all the crap I've done to it, maybe they can figure out how I lived so long.

    I have told my wife to take my body out to my parents farm and throw my body deep into the woods. The whole circle of life thing. Feed the critters and birds. She claims that is against the law.[:(]

    Since I don't plan to be here after I'm dead, I told the wife to dispose of the body the cheapest way possible. I suggested cremation and burial at sea because that's the cheapest way I know of. She insists she wants me buried in the ground. Since it's her show I agreed. I told her to do it the cheapest way within the law. She's happy with that.

    I used to say donate my body to science. My mother always wanted me to go to medical school. But they likely don;t want it after all I have done to it.

    Told my wife to cremate me, put the ashes in a plastic box and bury me with my folded gi (karate uniform) with the belt on top.

    There will then be a Hell of a gun auction. Too bad I have to miss it.

    after the jaws of life have removed the gun from my hand I will be placed in a casket and then 6 ft under. That is how my people do it. But, as I age the cremation ides is creeping in the thought process. It is so much more efficient and cost less. It is something I would consider if my kids were over 35... that is in 30 yr. Otherwise I think that a place where my remains are would be good for them to be able to visit.

    A cool thought is a viking burrial - big fire, and a gold coin on each eyes for the ferryman.

    Otherwise, just some unmarked grave, no need to whine over me.


    Viking funeral would be cool but I don't think being on a boat ablaze would cook me up enough before the boat sinks. Then a few tides later I'd wash up.

    A while back on here someone had a Pabst Blue Ribbon coffin. I liked that.

    Crispy Critter. Let's face it, burial is taking up precious real estate somebody might decide would be agreat place for a bar or condo or gun range [:D] . Kin don't visit gravesites like in olden days and gettin cremated sure saves a ton of money so's everyone can throw a great wake/party and tell tall tales about my adventures [:o)]

    Have your wife to send me some info when the auction happens, that is if you go before I. I might just drive to LR.

    Saratoga National Cemetery for me. Nice view towards the Green Mts. of Vermont, and I know they will mow the lawn on a regular basis.

    I want, " Lose weight or get off my chest" carved on my stone[:)]

    Thought of cremation and a vet's boneyard but there are many thousands more worthy of the limited space.
    I'd like my ashes spread at a favorite airport upstate NY.

    Myself,....I don't care either.
    Leaning the cremation route more and more.

    Like others have said, things have changed greatly, and families are scattered all over the place.

    My mother has a plot here next to my step-father.
    He has been gone for about 9 years now, and his own kids have never been to his grave after the funeral. Only my mom, and I.

    If she goes before me,.....I will be the last one that will visit those graves. Since I have no children, it makes little sense to be buried in the same cemetery as they will be.

    Nobody left to visit the graves.
    She doesn't like it, but I have pretty much told her I plan on being torched.[:)]

    True story, I was at the wake of an acquaintance when one of his ditzy girl friends came up to me to talk. Among several other goofy remarks she told me that when she died she wanted to be cremated and put small pieces of her in lockets to be handed out...I asked if I could have my piece now and she slapped me in the face...right in front of her dead boyfriend![:p][:D]

    Just tie a rock to my dead body and throw it in some water. I've always loved water.

    Cheap, easy, done deal.

    I'm dead. Why would I care?

    I have a marker set with my first wifes and my names on it. My current wife has a marker with her and her first husbands names on it. It's in the same cementary on the other end. I told my wife (current) that to cremare me and pour 1/2 on each grave. It'll keep me from running back and forth to visit them both.[}:)]

    Here's something interesting. Go ahead and get cremated, then send your ashes to these folks. They will turn the ashes into diamonds that you can have distributed to favorite family members as keepsake necklaces, rings, bracelets, etc. A part of you will live on forever with your descendents, who will have a heck of a story when THEY pass their diamond on to THEIR kids.

    At least you didn't say you want your ashes spread over the living room carpet. [:D]

    Please Don't Bury Me
    cJohn Prine

    Woke up this morning
    Put on my slippers
    Walked in the kitchen and died
    And oh what a feeling!
    When my soul
    Went thru the ceiling
    And on up into heaven I did ride
    When I got there they did say
    John, it happened this way
    You slipped upon the floor
    And hit your head
    And all the angels say
    Just before you passed away
    These were the very last words
    That you said:

    Chorus:
    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 * goodbye

    Repeat Chorus

    I'm gettin old so this body is not going to be worth recycling. I am going to be cremated and spread between the graves of my dad and grandpa, both shaped my life.
