This can be a thread where you post questions about options or post what you want to happen.

Are the only two options in the country cremation or burial? My dad, as a fisherman, would like to be fed to fish in the ocean. Is anything like this possible?

LifeGem is always an option

I personally want to be shot into the sun.

although i do want to be taxidermied and be standing up at the viewing in a high five pose and when everyone walks by they have to give my dead body one last high five.

that'd be sweet.

and i've told enough pepole this i probably should just go ahead and make a living will

I'd like my body to be placed in a car. That car will be launched full-speed off the side of a bridge and blown up in mid air, leaving nothing behind in the fiery wreckage. Then, Europe's The Final Countdown will be played.

10/19/2009 11:32:45 AM

I want to be made like pilgrimshoes said, but in the heisman pose

10/19/2009 11:33:29 AM

I want to be cremated, cause I don't like the idea of my body bloating up and being eaten by bugs.

My Dad has taken the ash urns of Pearl Harbor vets and put them on the USS Arizona

You walk into my open-casket funeral, and you see that there's no body inside of the coffin. Confused, you sit down and wait for the service to begin. The lights dim. Daft Punk's "Aerodynamic" starts playing, and my body drops from the ceiling on marionette strings. A curtain rises at the back of the pulpit, and a stage depicting scenes from my life appears. The "puppet" begins walking through the scenes reenacting my life. At the end of the montage, the body rises into the sky again, and bubbles come out of my face and rain down on the crowd. Then everyone gets a deathday present, and there's a huge cook-out/pig-pickin' afterwards.

i want to do the no embalming no chemicals no nothing, wrap me in a linen shroud thing. something more natural. it's a waste to spend $texas on a coffin and crap when you're just gonna rot anyway.

10/19/2009 11:41:37 AM

I want to be cremated and have some of my ashes spread at sea and some spread at my farm. My family can do whatever they want with the rest of my ashes in an urn.

I dunno about feeding your dad to fish, but they can turn his ashes into a reef structure.

10/19/2009 11:44:55 AM

my skeleton is going to be animated in a tomb when you open the door.

That or i'll be put in amber.

10/19/2009 11:48:18 AM

I always wanted to be put into a clear casket and put on display at a pre-school as my body rots

10/19/2009 11:49:26 AM

BADASS!

I just want to be donated to science.

10/19/2009 11:59:14 AM

I also wish you could just be buried without having to be embalmed and crap. That's all kinds of illegal though, isn't it?

10/19/2009 11:59:28 AM

hi.

i'm science.

10/19/2009 12:00:04 PM

they did it on six feet under

oh i think you can not be embalmed. some religions are against that i think. as far as the no-casket thing goes, i'm not so sure

i wanna be cremated and dumped in the neuse at goldsboro. i like to think that i'll float right on down to new bern, out into the pamlico, and through the inlets to the ocean. one last tour of all my favorite fishing spots.

10/19/2009 12:00:13 PM

^^^ hallo science. when i said donate, i meant trade for good beer.

10/19/2009 12:46:47 PM

Ok, that's pretty fucked up even for a Red Sox hater like myself. But I'd probably rock that costume. How much?

10/19/2009 12:49:33 PM

idk someone just sent me a link to the costume.

10/19/2009 12:57:31 PM

It would basically require me to buy a B hat and shirt. Or steal one from one of the 2934093 rednecks wearing that shit at the fair on Saturday.

10/19/2009 12:59:14 PM

I'd advise against the Ted Williams way...those people are fucked up in the head

My brother-in-law wants to be buried in a pine box in one of his tobacco fields.
My dad wants to be cremated and have his ashes loaded into shotgun shells for somebody to duck hunt with in the Chesapeake bay

10/19/2009 1:58:05 PM

dude, I'm busy here!

10/19/2009 1:58:35 PM

Haha, I can see that

10/19/2009 2:01:29 PM

i hate the idea of cremation

yet everyone i love wants to be cremated

10/19/2009 2:01:55 PM

lol

10/19/2009 2:02:05 PM

^^ Haha, hun, everyone in my fam gets cremated. Get used to it. It's bc we're stingy mofos.

10/19/2009 2:46:21 PM

I want to be launched into the sun.

10/19/2009 2:47:47 PM

What does stingy have to do with cremation?

Just curious...

10/19/2009 2:57:01 PM

My dad's reasoning for being cremated is because he thinks the cost of a funeral is ridiculous and doesn't want to burden anyone with anything once he dies.

Of course, my dad has more money than God, so I don't quite understand his reasoning.

10/19/2009 3:00:27 PM

Cremation is way cheaper, particularly if there is no ceremony or visitation.

Personally, I think it's silly to spend gobs of money on weddings and funerals. Then again, I'm anti-organized religion.

10/19/2009 3:02:13 PM

^He said he doesn't want that stuff either. Burn him and throw him away, and don't even put an ad in the paper.

Talk about a miser

And Lucy, after having a ridiculously expensive wedding (albeit a kick-ass party) I'm going to agree with you on that front. Roundtrip flights to Vegas for us and our friends would have been FTW.

10/19/2009 3:03:10 PM

Mom wants to be burned and thrown into the sound by her parents' house. I want to be burned and tossed into the Atlantic Ocean.

And definitely no newspaper ad. That's just silly. My friends will learn I died via facebook and twitter.

^ Vegas ftw. I just want a pig pickin' with friends and fam and a honeymoon. Though your wedding and reception were friggin' badass!
