Do you have a death wish?
No, not a wish to die. Imma misleading you :'o Still morbid, though! I was talking about this with my boyfriend just now, about what we want to happen with our bodies when we die. I want to be cremated, and i don't want anything special to happen to the ashes afterwards. Buuuttt, he says that it's supposed to be more about who you leave behind. But, but... you're dead. And, it's just a bunch of ashes / a body. I'd rather be remembered for my soul, such as it is, than the physical case it was enclosed in. That's just my thing, though :'3 Mene! Spoonfeeding :'3 Have you thought about how you want your remains handled? And...? What about those you leave behind? Do they have a right to determine what happens to your remains? |
I don't think that the people you leave behind should choose what happens to your remains; they're YOURS, after all.
I don't really care what happens to my body after I die; maybe organ donation? I think that's useful. As long as I don't end up buried in the place I grew up, I'm fine with it. I've been waiting and trying to get out of there for eighteen years; I don't want to be stuck there--even if it's only my shell that's there--for eternity. (Or as long as it takes for me to decompose.) |
Actually, I don't think I've thought about that very much, I guess I just don't like thinking about what happens after death, because the thought seems to freak me out to no end. Though, if I had to choose, I'd want to be put to rest near my birthplace or wherever my family (If I ever get to start one) lives. I don't know, it's just one of those things that might mean a little more. They'd be able to remember me, I hope, and it wouldn't be just too simple to the point that it's like an 'oh, whatever, we'll just go and do this, he's just dead' type of thing. I'm not sure if any of that made sense, but I sort of think like that most of the time, in rambles and unknown equations, that sort of thing. Basically, I'd want to be buried at my family's place (me being the dad) and in a nice little place where other people in that family might be buried. |
I've thought about it a lot. I want to be cremated, then have my ashes put towards rebuilding the coral reef.
|
The way I figure it, I'm gonna be dead, so what will it matter. I'll be corpse, personally I couldn't careless if they threw me into garbage. In the end we all end up in the same place. So Bury me, burn or just toss me out, I won't care, I'll be dead. XD
|
Well I definitely want to be cremated and I dun care what happens to my ashes afterwards. I'm not sure I want them to be spread anywhere for other ppl to breathe in cuz that's....kinda sick to me. ><; If they want to bury the urn next to my granpappy I'd be fine with that. I guess if I had to choose I'd have my urn be buried with my mom/dad/or brother *whoever is still living and I will not die last. ><;* That way my ashes have a place to go.
|
i don't really care what happens AFTER i die, but i hope WHEN i die it's in some cool/hilarious fashion. like getting run over by a train and spraying my guts on kids or something
|
I want to be cremated and preferably have my ashes scattered. I hate the thought of being kept in a jar or made into jewerly or anything like that.
I know it shouldn't matter, but it does to me for some reason. I want a memmorial, but not a funeral. No way in hell am I letting people dress me up and pump me full of fluids to make "presentable" when I'm already dead. And only people I truly liked will be invited. Once I'm dead, all those people who I didn't really like will know it. I'll give most of my material wealth to charities.I wouldn't want my death to financially benefi anyone. |
This is going to sound insane, but..
I want to be cremated(sp?) EXCEPT. I want my heart to be burned apart from my body. I want the ashes from my heart to be spread over a cemetary.. and I want my bodily ashes to be dumped in an ocean. Incase anyone were to ever try to ressurect me, this would make it impossible. (Don't ask.) |
My mom and I have talked about this, since she only managed to get dad to tell her what he wanted about a month before he died. I'd prefer to be cremated. She doesn't really care.
I really don't want a Christian service, but I suspect I'll get stuck with one anyway. Meh. I'll be dead, so I won't really care. |
I always thought it would be cool to have my body donated to science, or just to donate all my organs because there are always a lot of people who need organs.
|
I'd want my organs donated to whoever could use them since I won't need them once I'm dead. I did tell my brother that I don't want a Wake, unless the family feels the need. A small funeral is fine since I don't want to cause a fuss or lead to more pain from seeing my dead body. I know it was terribly difficult for my family at my grandfather's wake so I want to minimize that pain as much as possible for all the people I would leave behind.
I don't have much money to my name (being a college student) but what I do have I would want evenly divided amongst my close family (parents, brother, and grandmother) as well as my best friend and my boyfriend/husband. Same go with my belongings, I'm not particular on what goes to who but I would want things to go to those that would actually use them. If the items aren't going to be used, just sell it to pay for the funeral and other costs. No real preference to burial or cremation to be honest. I know most of my family was buried so I would probably end up there. |
I really don't mind what happens..I just want my useable organs to be donated :) I would prefer to be cremated...only cuz once they are all donated I'm an empty sack and tahts a bit creepy to bury in the ground XD

My mother also wanted to be cremated, although she just doesn't want to be worm food. |

Truthfully though, I hate talking about death I will dedicate about 50% of my life to finding a way to prolong life |
Yea, people think you have morbid problems when you're discussing the afterwards of your death such as what to do with your body.
I've thought about it every time I remember and see people at funerals and caskets and reminded of one's mortality and time limit in this world. Yes, I want my remains to be disposed of in the most environmental way. I DO NOT want someone to hang on to a jar of my ashes or have my decaying empty shell of a body buried in the ground. My body is of no use for paying respects to if I'm dead. Hopefully my lil sister, who knows me best, will have the ultimate decision on what to do with my body. It seems like my mom and dad are for having my ashes in a jar on their mantle... >.< She should have a right, as the person closest to me. Even though she's young, she is more intelligent than my parents combined. |
I'm stuck between getting cremated, or donating my body to science studies. I do know that I'd like to at least have a headstone beside my grandmother, seeing as how she was the closest person to me in my life that anyone has ever been.
Not sure if I'd want my ashes scattered if I do end up deciding on cremation though. I think it'd be funny if I just sat in a jar on someones mantle, and my kids can tell the rest of the family that "Hey look, it's grandma!". xD |
Oh good god.
:'[ I could never give my body to science. Just thinking about it makes me want to curl into a ball and die. (Ironic, I know.) |

It helps that I also find it fascinating what goes on underneath all this skin, but I don't think I'll ever have the guts (No pun intended) to actually dive into someones corpse myself. |
I would want my husband and I to be cremated, then our ashes mixed. D: Then just whatever after that. I'd want our rings to be in with the ashes if they're placed in an urn though. If not then they are to become heirlooms.
I want to die of old age, but seeing all the junk I eat, that might not be very nice because I'd be so sick before I died in my sleep. |
I'd want to be cremated. And buried some where my family could visit me, or leave me offerings. X3
An ancestor worship like idea, but being cremated I can't be risen. XD No Zombie for me. Unless people want to be attacked by a pile of dust, I think I''m good. |
In all honesty, I vote for mine to be wrapped up in a garbage bag or two and dumped into a convenient body of water. I'm already an organ doner, so at least someone else will get some use out of my derelict hull before it goes into the scrap yard.
Seriously, caskets and cemetery plots are expensive! I'd rather see the money go somewhere that could better use it. |
I would like to be cremated and then sent off into a plane over the ocean and have my ashes sprinkled in the air. The last thing I want is for my body to be stuck in a hole in the ground. I'm a free spirit, and I want my body to be the same when I die.
Funeral? Well, I would just like to have everyone sit in a big circle and just talk about the good things they remembered and laugh about things as much as they can. I don't want anything formal stuck in tradition. I just want those around me to remember who I was, how I touched them, and remember all the good things. I've been to too many stuffy funerals. Not my thing. >_> I wouldn't want everyone to see me dead either. I would just want them to remember me being my alive happy self. XD |
Meh. When I'm dead, I'm dead. I guess I'll donate my organs and what have you to the needy, if they're still in good condition. Ain't like I'm using them...
And then it's up to whoever's dealing with my funeral. I don't care. I'd prefer cremation, cause that way I'm not taking up a whole bunch of space, yanno? Maybe they could like...put my ashes in a bottle, seal that, and then let it float away in the ocean. That'd be kinda cool. 8) |
