Your choice...

TODAY'S QUESTION IS ASKED BY Lynne!


How do you want to be buried and why? Cremation, freezing, drawer , plot, stuffed etc. Service, no service, wake, celebration of life?

No answer is wrong...it's all up to you.

I'd really like to be just left in the bush to feed the wildlife.In reality I will be cremated with no service or after party, as I cant stand it when people come to funerals but wouldn't visit the person while on this Earth.I may end up as bush tucker if I die out there .Here's hoping.lol.

That happens down here in the valley more than I'm comfortable with.

Cremation

Reasons:

Physically ~ I'm not giving $12,000 dollars for a box and another $5,000 for a place to put it. Cremation. Hobby Lobby box. Ashes spread with my husbands and doggy friends behind the cabin. Smoke em if you got em.

Spiritually ~ I have places to be.

cremation, with my ashes to be scattered somewhere nice, but a wide open space, I don't think anyone should hold on to them, they have to "let go" at some point...as ive gotten older I realize that a service or gathering of some type is for all the loved ones to remember and mourn and let go or release you to the next level. so a gathering of sorts will be up to those left behind, I would hope that its not just a sad event but a celebration of life and moving on to new beginnings......maybe a bonfire and keg of rum should be included...hmmm, have to think on that one a while.....lol
edited to add,... try to live life so ppl don't talk about how you died, but how you lived....

With a keg of rum at your funeral Paulm you might not be the only one getting cremated,me hearties.

Burial has always been a family tradition broadly along the lines of catholics get buried non denominational get cremated. I personally have no preference but I'm intrigued by these burial pods that turn you into a tree;

Biodegradable burial pod turns your body into a tree - CNN

Cremated, probably. I used to be a memorial counselor, and also sold pre -need plans. I have always disliked the idea of a casket and a vault (which was the way the plans were sold). That burial pod sounds really great! And the money that is charged to dispose of remains is really too much, IMO. I would probably like a nice funeral with my favorite classical music played, though.

 

[Paintman]

As Steve Martin once informed us, " I don't want no fancy funeral , just one like Old King Tut."

 

[Lynne]

All the options are disturbing to me. This is why I asked the question. I guess it shouldn’t matter because your soul is not in there and logically I know this. So I am presently undecided.

 

[Teener]

I haven't even thought of it. Truthfully I don't care if they use me as a scarecrow when I'm gone I'm gone. My body is only my outer shell. I'm not going to care after I'm gone. Although I'm sure when I die it'll be in a house with like 50 cats and dogs and spiders and I'll forever be known as the crazy cat lady down the street lol.
