To all you wanna be crispy critters out there... No one has come back to tell you without a doubt that it didn't hurt. Until they do... no fire for me.

Being put on ice, having all of your blood drained out, being pumped full of embalming fluid, made up like a clown, so people remember you that way, shut in a box, dropped in a hole, buried under six feet of dirt, and having your flesh slowly drop off.
That does sound better. Just being bad here. :devil: Don't worry, QS. There is a reason no one has come back to tell us about it. Dead is dead. Once the brain is gone you aren't going to feel a thing. I'm half way there already.
 
Just a little bit on the humourius side of things .....My best friend , laughs and says oh I don't want to be buried.... I would want to get up and brush all those Crawly things off me.........
 
It seems to me that body disposition was discussed in an earlier thread and there I described my arrangements for whole body donation (to a medical school) which elicited exactly no responses. I presume that will occur in this thread as well.

It's more than the idea of being in the ground for me. I don't want to leave a monument that makes some feel obligated to visit. The idea of my remains as ask going back to the earth as such is much more appealing.

Absolutely. The living have better things to do than visit dirt. Eventually someone will vandalize your stone because they don't like the name on it. Just let me disappear please.
 
I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like my grandfather did.....not screaming like the other three people in the car. OK, that's a bad joke.

No, I want to be cremated. That's my last chance for a hot, smokin' bod. Not a joke.

My husband was "harvested" (not sure I'd have chosen that term, but....) before he was cremated. They couldn't use any of his organs because of the time between death and "harvesting" but they took his corneas, his skin (cadaver skin is good for temporary grafts on burn patients), and his leg bones and tendons for grafting. I received a letter from the society telling me that 17 people had benefitted from him. Then we had a great party three weeks later at his favorite fish camp and scattered his ashes at his favorite fishing spot.

We had a luau on the beach for my dad with a bonfire, much beer and fireworks. As you can tell, my family doesn't go for formal funerals.

That sounds great, ( except for the old joke ). That's the way to do it. I think more and more people are getting the right idea.
I remember all the old Italian ladies who were continually in black dresses when I was growing up. What a way to "live".
