Cremation?

[Tone Capone]

More and more lately I've been thinking that when the time comes, I want to be cremated. This is kinda strange to me because I have always been against cremation... I think because my family is. When I really thought about it though, I don't want to be buried. I remember about a year and a half ago, after a close family friend died, my Mom and uncle were talking about how they can't believe he chose to be cremated and that now there is no place to go visit him if they wanted to... but it's the same family that says that when we die, we aren't in our bodies anyway... oh well. I think I will be cremated and have my ashes scattered over this hill in Mainz, Germany that I used to sit on. It looks over the city. One of my favorite places. Don't tell my Mom.

[steve-onpoint]

your secret's safe. ;)

My friend had her horse cremated the other day. They had to wheel the ashes to her car, and she's scattering them a bag at a time.

I don't want to be cremated as I dislike heat, neither would I like to go through the grinder thing afterwards, to get me into a nice, smooth powder.
However, I'll cremate my husband so I can keep him with me, and then we can be buried together. Unless we both die together soon, in which case it won't be a problem. Although, I've always wanted a burial at sea....

All in all, it's a sensible way to dispose of the dead, and wonderfully, the nitrogen and stuff is still recycled from the body. You don't need to be buried to feed the earth.

[Tone Capone]

That's cool.
I just think it's strange because until very recently I would have never thought I would be cremated.


A freakin horse?!?!?! Whoa!

[Nivvie]

A freakin horse?!?!?! Whoa!


It was either that or dig a very, very big hole.

[Tone Capone]

It was either that or dig a very, very big hole.

Oh. Understood :o

[abcdefz]

Is there a Ralph's nearby?

[ericlee]

I want to sleep with the fishes. Seriously, I was thinking about getting cremated and having my ashes dumped in lake Erie where I spent almost everyday of my youth either fishing or swimming.

[QueenAdrock]

No way, I'm all about being buried. I want to do what my mom and dad are doing - they bought a plot that's two people deep. So when the first one dies, they'll go down further, the second one will be buried on top.

You know, now when I think of it, their plot is outside of DC...they're living in NC. That's gonna be a pain in the butt.

[Documad]

We put my dad's ashes in a stream that runs through his favorite campground in northern Minnesota. My mom's ashes will go there as well one day. It's so lovely to hike back into the woods along the stream and think of all the fun we had up there, instead of visiting a cemetary. I love going the fall most of all when there are no other people around.

I don't want to be buried. It's creepy.

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
The worms crawl in and up your snout

:p

[Kid Presentable]

I had my dad cremated, and went up in a plane to scatter his ashes. Once the window was open, the bag fluttered everywhere and the ash smeared (in a way that ash smears) all over the side window of the plane. Fucking sucked.

To follow suit, my ashes will used in a boxing bag.

[Kid Presentable]

Zombified ash would be like a dusty T-1000, I presume. Awesome.(y)

[Rock]

who cares...you're fucking dead. I don't give a fuck. I'll let my wife decide.

One of my friends asked me to take his body after he dies.....drive out to the mountains and find a perfect tree with a nice view and lay him down there, not bury him, but just lie him down and let him decompose.

[QueenAdrock]

Isn't that illegal? For some reason I thought it was.

I remember when Borat was buying a house, he asked if it'd be okay if he could bury his wife in the backyard when she dies. (y)

I thought you were going to say lay him down and put your knob on his brow.

I don't think you can do that legally...

[Rock]

yes...its totally illegal.

i refused only because they would CSI my ass and track me down. But I would do it if I could. And if he wasn't 275 lbs.

[Nivvie]

Or, you could always have yourself made into an attractive lamp or something... http://www.bodyworlds.com/en/exhibitions/current_exhibitions.html

[Tone Capone]

yes...its totally illegal.

And creepy to have your dead homeboy chillin in your car while you are driving around looking for this awesome tree.

[QueenAdrock]

yes...its totally illegal.

That'd be really scary if children campers came across his half-rotten corpse too.

[QueenAdrock]

And creepy to have your dead homeboy chillin in your car while you are driving around looking for this awesome tree.

Yeah! And on the car ride over. I mean, do you stick him in the trunk? Because that's a little sketchy, especially if you get pulled over. In the passenger's seat? That's a little too close for me. I think I'd put him in the backseat and pretend to have a conversation with him.

[Tone Capone]

Remember that movie with Johnny Knoxville. I think it was a true story but he took his friends casket and burned him up out in the desert?

[Nivvie]

You could always fly him to Tibet, it's legal there.
He'd get eaten by birds. Although, he'd have to be embalmed before an airline will take him, and I doubt if the birds would want him after that.

I seen some documentary on how they do this thing in India where they put the body up on some huge building thing and vultures eat the dead within a couple days. I think they are vultures at least.

[Rock]

I would hope that I had a place picked out before I stole his body. I think it would be a 2 day process.

1 day driving and scouting.
1 day getting his body and knowing exactly where to drop him off.

[Rock]

Yeah! And on the car ride over. I mean, do you stick him in the trunk? Because that's a little sketchy, especially if you get pulled over. In the passenger's seat? That's a little too close for me.
Thats exactly what I (we) said.

either way...its not happening. I guess we can tell him we will. Its not like he is going to find out.

Tell him that you will but, really leave him on one of his ex-girlfriends front porch with a note on his chest that says "HI!". It's the circle of life.

but then we run into the whole carrying around a dead body in the car problem. But I like the idea nonetheless.
ooooo i can do the whole Clue bit.... put some booze in his mouth and say he is drunk if I get pulled over. Dead Drunk. HA!

I suck.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You're headed in the right direction with the alcohol.

Tell that to my sponsor.

yeah i fear heat/fire

back in the day atleast one family member had to watch through a lil window how a related person got burned down

fuck once my grandma had to watch her dead dad getting grilled and because of the heat/gas (dont ask me) he was moving and standing up

i would stand knee deep into my own shit and had a trauma for life
i think she got a trauma from it, dunno about the shit part

[Bob]

i definitely wanna be cremated. i hate worms, and i'd love nothing more than to deny them a good meal

[cosmo105]

after all my organs are given to people that need them, i'd really like to have my body donated to science. probably a forensics lab, to help solve mysteries down the line. that way i'd KNOW my remains were being put to good use instead of sitting around in a box refusing to decompose.

[Bob]

i'm donating my organs to needy children when i go

organs 4 orphans, i'm calling it

[Lyman Zerga]

after all my organs are given to people that need them,


i want to do that too but i always kinda fear that i could still feel something

though in austria we are weird/pretty awesome about this stuff
when youre an austrian youre automatically an organ donator unless you get some piece shit of paper that says you dont want it (i would be too lazy to get it anyway so dont worry! be happy!)
many austrians dont even know about that
so i cant wait to get into a car crash (y)

[Bob]

i want to do that too but i always kinda fear that i could still feel something


not without your organs you won't!

[zorra_chiflada]

Or, you could always have yourself made into an attractive lamp or something... http://www.bodyworlds.com/en/exhibitions/current_exhibitions.html

fuck yes! this is what i want done with my remains. i'd like to be made into a table maybe.

[Lyman Zerga]

bob wants my slimey guts!

[Bob]

bob wants my slimey guts!

i'm jonesin for a new appendix real bad man

[Yeti]

That is creepy. I guess it is better than having your head in a jar like Ted Williams or Walt Disney.

[kate]

isn't spreading your ashes just as illegal as not properly burying a body? i think it is. anyway, i myself would like to be cremated because i'm a total jew.

when my kitties die, i kinda wanna have em stuffed :|

[cosmo105]

spreading ashes in places like national parks is illegal, i know that. but i don't think authorities really prosecute it much.

oh we had that show in vienna

i really really wanted to visit it but my mum said no way
dont care if some of those bodies are getting shown without their wills (not willies and of course when they were alive)
i just want to see it!

i love death without being a goth!

fuck that, just get new cats

i dunno how they'd find out. you can't really...dust, for ashes

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

I've actually thought about this somewhat, i've been thinking about it for a while, actually, which is really weird for a 17 year old, but whatever.

When I was younger I used to say I wanted to be cremated and then have my ashes mixed in with some plaster or cement or something, and then made into a little lion sculpture or something... and whoever in my family wanted one could take one home and keep me on thier mantal or where ever.
(When my uncle chuck died he was cremated and his two brothers and my grandma got a little baggie of his ashes and the rest are skattered in the woods where he used to take us kids when we were little.)
It's actually something I'd still consider doing if I could..

I honestley dont give a fuck what happens with my body. They can take whatever organs they want (except my eyes) but I most definantley want to be cremated. Theres no way in hell im burying my body, Its a waste of space to bury a body, and im just not too keen on decomposing.

a burial at sea would be very nice though, I'd like that a lot. (y)

yeah i want to get my rabbit stuffed

one day i think im a fucking freak for having such weird wishes another time i want it so bad! to be able to look at it and touch it for the rest of my life!
though im not sure if i could really touch it or just run away and cry like a greasy cunt

[Yeti]

Remember Big Lebowski? They were spreading their friends ashes and the wind kept blowing it in their faces.

[kate]

dude how cool would it be to be buried and then have a house built on top of you and get all pissed off and come back and haunt that house, like in poltergeist.

[Yeti]

I would call Beetlejuice.

[zorra_chiflada]

i want to be a ghost so bad. that would be the frickin best thing, to just haunt people and shit.

[kate]

also, how sick would it be to be swimming downstream when documad's family dumped his/her/whatever dad, and get a little bit of dad in your mouth? ew

[Lyman Zerga]

oh and i have a plan b!
when i cuddle with my bunny i carefully cut some of her hair off

i wouldnt do it if it made her nervous but so far she never noticed it and i only cut off a lil bit, not like i would shave her whole ass off

then i collect those hair and give it into a little box and im no freak at all

[skra75]

When I die, I want to have my ashes placed inside a 7" diameter by 14" long metal nickel-plated cylinder. I want it put on display for everyone to see so they can tell stories about me, but they don't have to look at my dead body because that's just creepy.

And I want the song from the end of Tron playing. You know, the one that happens right after the MCP dies? I really like that song.

Then, I want people to have a good time, like they did at Jim Henson's funeral. A big party with drinks and dancing and stuff for several days. So eventually people just have a good time and don't worry about me any more.

And Ill donate whatever money is left (hopefully, not much bc I hope I spend it having fun travelling alot as an old fart) to my kids and the rest to the Salvation Army or NASA.

[HEIRESS]

Ill go out like a punk ass bitch

[mikizee]

this thread reminds me of the big lebowski. you know why.

[mikizee]

Remember Big Lebowski? They were spreading their friends ashes and the wind kept blowing it in their faces.

dammit. didnt see that. great.

[Bob]

dammit. didnt see that. great.

haha i thought of it too :(

goodnight, sweet prince
