"I am a born-again atheist, so there isn't going to be a funeral. I will be buried in a linen wrap in a cardboard coffin in my forest with an oak tree planted on my head."
-Felix Dennis
This sounds like a nice idea. Had I not already decided my corpse's fate I might consider this. I'm going for cremation and ashes sprinkled near a place dear to my heart.
You can just throw my body in the dumpster when Iām finished with it.
Not me. I want a huge Church funeral. We will see who gets the last laugh.
I'm donating my body to science - probably a medical school cadaver. Why not help educate future doctors, plus save the family spending thousands of dollars on some stupid burial ritual? My girls can throw a memorial party if they want - but no need to pay an undertaker a shit load of cash for shipping and handling on a rotting corps.
Come on Jon. You were in the Marine Corps, you should know that is not the way you spell corpse!??
Organ harvest, then the rest goes to the University of Manchester medical school.
Cremation here, too. Then have my ashes spread out over Crooked Lake, a place I enjoyed for many years...
āReturning to earthā in a normal, recyclable way, sound just Right...
I've already made arrangements to donate my body but I'm all for the wrapped in a shroud and. Put directly into the ground route too. My son has all my paperwork so we're set.
Whatever is easiest for my loved ones. Cremation or donate my body to science, whatever works for them. I don't want them belabored with an expensive funeral on my behalf. Or on the behalf of my dead body, anyway.
Cremation for me. It was my husband's wish as well and I have his ashes with me.
A lot of states have regulations of how and where you bury a corpse. If you want something Felix Dennis you might want to check your stateās laws
I'm not asking my mother's ashes are to be buried on top of my grandmother in a cemetary where a lot of family has been placed. I will not ask. I will simply do it. I have already worked out how to do it without notice and it is her final wish. If I asked and they told me no, I would do it anyway. It is her final wish.
Cool way to go. Since I love water and scuba diving I'm thinking a burial at sea, perhaps a viking funeral while "In memory of Elizabeth Reed" is being played (the acoustic ver.)
I'll be sent up in fireworks.
that is a GREAT idea!
Throw me in the back yard and let the raven peck out my eyes
