WHEN YOU'RE DEAD - Duchess - 09-30-2013
Do you know where you'll be buried?
Do you have a will or have you made your wishes known?
Have you ever talked about this kind of thing with a loved one?

Told my kids to kick me off in a ditch somewhere when they were about 8. They were horrified.
Probably should revisit the topic eventually, although I really don't care much where I end up

We are having the talk with my dad.
This is the first time I have had to deal with this, and it sucks.

My husband supposedly has two holes reserved in a family plot. Thing is, he is not even sure of they are still available.
Both of us have wills and health care directives. Amazing the things you think of when you approach the "golden years".

My husband and I don't agree so we might not be spending eternity together in that regard.

We're actually in the last phases of construction of our mausoleum at the cemetery. It's log cabin style with rocking chairs on the front porch and room for everyone. Mi casa es su casa.
RE: WHEN YOU'RE DEAD - Duchess - 10-01-2013
That's actually a plan I could live with.
RE: WHEN YOU'RE DEAD - sally - 10-01-2013
I was just joking about that, but I would prefer being in a little house with a spot for everyone when the inevitable comes rather than being cremated or buried in the ground. I have better things to spend my money on at the moment, however, so if I don't ever get around to buying a mausoleum then being thrown in the cheapest box and buried will do. I don't want a funeral or open casket or anything.

Those are my wishes too & I've expressed that. I'd like to be buried here but I'm told one has to get a special permit and I'm not even sure home burials are allowed any more.

A lot of folks are donating their bodies to science.
How about that option?

I would live to donate my body to a Body Farm..where the forensic trainees learn their craft by watching the bodies rot.

My mother just made it known she wants to be cooked up and divided amongst the kids so we can spread her ashes to the four winds in different places on the earth.
I might snort a little though.

Good lord..my brain stopped right there. It definatly veered off into a totally different direction when you said "cooked up and divided amongst the kids". Sorry

Then you really don't want to hear my plan for myself. I want to get mulched up and rendered into fertilizer: some might say I'm already there--and worked into a field under apple trees. That way my body will nourish the earth...and the whole world can fuckin eat me.

Some poor farmer west of here went through a corn-stalk mulcher (silage machine) last week.
My in-laws said it was a good thing there were witnesses or they may never have known what happened to him.
Sound like what you have in mind for yourself?
RE: WHEN YOU'RE DEAD - Maggot - 10-01-2013
I kinda like that end, I bet it has a sound all its own.
RE: WHEN YOU'RE DEAD - Duchess - 10-02-2013
I hope I never see anything like that.
RE: WHEN YOU'RE DEAD - Donovan - 10-02-2013
I'd be okay with it. Pretty damn quick I would guess. And they'd never get all my parts back. The only better afterlife I could imagine would be if I know I'm dying in advance I will decorate myself with all kinds of wacky shit and build myself an hidden temple in the jungle. Just to fuck with future archeologists.
