an odd question,but how would you prefer to be 'sent off' to the happy acres in the sky

[NOX]

I would like to be buried on my own land with my family ( once they're dead obviously) ;-)

[baza]

I want a second opinion to make sure I'm dead first.
been to two funerals this year [both burials] Hate that bit at the graveside staring down. Think i would prefer cremation.

[jno]

my family's been cremated for several generations; I'll be happy doing the same.

Cheap carboard coffin (she disagrees) but I'm dead, very dead, so I won't notice. My money is designed for the living. Football programmes to my very good friend, Gary Spain, from Dublin. My Linfield memorabilia to my old mucker in Belfast, Davy Newell. The 3,000+ CD's are a toss up between Andy and Albert. I hope you all have a ball but, seriously, the only thing that matters to me, is Mrs D.

my grand parents on mother's side were buried in cemetary for village where they lived ,dad's mum cremated,not sure dad's father.my dad who is v.unwell,but has always liked things 'sorted',but not so for buriel,left no instructions,apart from jessting re in a bin bag in veggie plot

[ummmm]

My plot is already booked.

cremation. the body is just junk when the person has finished with it.

[BlueToffee]

Don't think I'll be too bothered. Hope it's not too soon though!

I plan to float up to heaven through the chimney of Roselawn Crematorium.

I am on the register for any parts that are needed to be used for transplant.
Just found that I can ask for my brain to be used for medical research as well so that is being organised. The rest of my body is also left for training doctors or research. Any bits they don't want will be disposed of free as clinical waste. I am also of the opinion that 'the person' is not the body so they can't bury or cremate 'you' , a body is just a lump of organic matter once the person is dead . Funerals are for the living the dead can know / do nothing about it. The cash that would have been use for a funeral will go behind the bar at my local for a farewell p*ss up.

[ummmm]

Like your thinking, Eddie. I'd happily do the same.

[DTCwordfan]

I go all the funerals that I can, so they can return the favour.

[ummmm]

How big is your family, DT? They get really tiresome. The Irish love a good funeral...

[DTCwordfan]

I have boxes of champagne put in my will - the ultimate wake was in Ireland, as ummmm rightly so picked up on, do you remember Ollie Reed's? He left something like 50k Euros to the village for his blitz-out.....shame he couldn't have shared in it. One of my favourite film scenes was the funeral of the dentist in MASH - hilarious.....
