When you finally die....
 
:( ...would you rather:
1. Be cremeated and your ashes spread........?
2. Be buried...where?

I was just curious to know your thoughts.

Rob Instigator 08.11.2009 10:38 PM

i would like to be shot off in a rocket aimed at the sun, ASHES would be cheaper

alteredcourse 08.11.2009 10:38 PM

I just dont really want a big deal of it made.

I know that the people that would feel the significance are quiet people, who make peace privately. I would only wish for them to deal with my death in their own way, without being pestered or encumbered by pressures of "A DEATH!!" in their lives. And they could. Who knows who will die first, though. Either way, nature always wins.

EVOLghost 08.11.2009 10:39 PM

I'd like to be burned alive right before I die....save time and money.

girlgun 08.11.2009 10:39 PM

i BETTER be creamated.

i told my dad the other day... "should you outlive me....do not bury me, cremate me, serve pizza and play queen and none of this church shit... kthx" (it was at a funeral)

alteredcourse 08.11.2009 10:43 PM

Haha, yeah that would be pretty good, too.

I remember being about 10 and commanding my mother: "Mom, make sure to shoot me in the chest when I die." She was horrified. Nevermind me assuming that the mother would outlive the child, I had been reading too much fiction based pre-20th century when it wasnt entirely out of the question to be buried alive. It was my biggest fear.

automatic bzooty 08.11.2009 10:46 PM

i want to be mummified and put into my own fucking MASSIVE pyramid/shrine type thing.

...

er, i reckon cremation would be fine. toss me off somewhere that ends up being ~meaningful~ to me, maybe? i wouldn't want to be looming around all vased up in someone's house.

tbannach 08.11.2009 11:01 PM

i want to die opposing some sort of fascistic rule or tyranny of some sort, die in a heroic manner, give a rousing speech before i die, then sip the nectars of the heavans and watch my revolution begin on earth! mwhahahah. but seriously id like a peaceful death too.

girlgun 08.11.2009 11:09 PM

Forgot to say what I want done with my ashes. There's a really pricey and fancy mausoleum up the street. I want my ashes there. Work it out, floating slowly.

I want my ashes made into jewelry so my family members can wear them.

Haha. Niiiiiiice.

GeneticKiss 08.11.2009 11:20 PM

Depending on my mood at the end of my life, I either want to have a climate-controlled mausoleum (a la Vladimir Lenin or Evita Peron), or donate my body to science.

terriblecanyons 08.11.2009 11:29 PM

I don't really give a fuck as long as my wish for about 15 people to jump up and do the Thriller dance at my funeral while my body is propped up and I'm dressed as a zombie goes down.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Eaten by birds.

I'd never really thought about it before I read that Parsees leave their dead bodies out to be eaten by birds. The idea of it is appealing though.

Apparently it is illegal to do such a thing in Canada though. Why? I do not know. Dead things are all over the place being eaten by birds, why does it matter if the dead thing is human?

jerf 08.12.2009 02:04 AM

i want to be brought to a taxidermist and stuffed, and placed in a living room, so everyone can enjoy my company long after im gone.

or better yet, i could have my head mounted on the wall like so many deer, and put on display to see how long it takes friends and neighbors to notice.

it can go deer, deer, deer, jerf, deer, deer...

pbradley 08.12.2009 02:25 AM

I would want to be buried only if I considered my final resting place to be worth visiting. I really do enjoy the physical nature of the grave when visiting my grandparents' graves, though "enjoy" certainly isn't the right word. That physical sense of legacy with the past grounds me in my time.

I want to be stuffed, put on a chair with a smile and at my funeral people can get photo's with me like I'm Santi Claus.

Be cremeated and my ashes spread...i don't care where...could be in the toilet right there. After death my existence will be far away from here...or there isn't existence!

atsonicpark 08.12.2009 05:42 AM

no funeral
no announcement of it in the newspaper
no sympathy from anyone
ashes burned up, throw em in the fucking trash
who cares -- I'm dead?

People don't come and visit me now.. why would they visit me when I'm dead? Fuck tombstones, fuck coffins, fuck funerals, fuck people's tears.

terriblecanyons 08.12.2009 05:48 AM

you're so hardcore.

atsonicpark 08.12.2009 06:02 AM

I just don't give a fuck.

sonic sphere 08.12.2009 06:54 AM

buried in the cemetary across the road from my house. i won't have far to go!

phoenix 08.12.2009 07:18 AM

burried so I can grow some nice trees and turn into some pretty rocks. I'm not sure where tho.

atsonicpark 08.12.2009 07:21 AM

take my body and turn it into a big dildo dick

wow

floatingslowly 08.12.2009 08:23 AM

I would like a plain wooden casket so that I can seep into the soil.

that way, when the sun blows the earth's crust off into the universe, I'll be right there with it.

fuck ashes. I want to rot. in fact, I almost can't wait. teeeheee

artsygrrl 08.12.2009 09:23 AM

When my son was little we had to take him to a funeral. Afterwards he said when he dies, he wants to have his lips pursed in a kiss so it will be easier for the morners to kiss him goodby on their way out. ha

SONIC GAIL 08.12.2009 09:28 AM

I want my corpse incinerated and the ashes spread in Bryceville and the other half in the ocean.

This reminds me of my other play.

Have a taxidermist stuff me, and then put me up in the top corner of someone's living room, crouching up there with some evil fucking look on my face (someone worthy of such a gift obviously)

It's kinda hard for me to explain, but if you've seen Garage Days, it's kinda like the scene where he's fucked up on drugs and thinks he's the devil.

phoenix 08.12.2009 09:47 AM

This morning I was laying in bed thinking about taxidermy. Not sure why.

Conrad 08.12.2009 09:59 AM

I don't think it's as gross as a lot of people/vegetarians do. Obviously I'm not down if the animal was hunted, but if something dies naturally, why the hell not?

Taxidermy is art.

I would like to learn some day, and do up my rodents when they die. They I'll play them in random, rodent like places all around the house.

There is a melbourne artist who taxidermies(??) stuff, and then decorates them with gems and things..

You ain't never eaten no freshly hunted deer meat? The best bits still have the lead pellets in em. I can remember being 5 and it not at all being uncommon to find the sight of a deer carcus strung upside down from a tree being "dressed"

Anngella 08.12.2009 11:40 AM

Give my organs/whatever to whoever needs them and make art with the rest of me.

floatingslowly 08.12.2009 11:44 AM

^^^ gladly. send me some parts. I'll put it right next to the cabbage patch head that I have mounted in my garage.

oh, my garage. how I wish that I were in my garage right now. alone with the dead dolls and other stuff.

You had your chance when Bush was in office and you blew it.

Well, I think you could still do some good.
