When You Are Dead and Gone
When you depart from this mortal world, (and Gayles second life perhaps:D ) do you feel strongly about what happens to your redundant body?
Traditionally, you can be interred. If this is your preference, would you care to be alone or would you prefer to be buried near a loved one or family? Perhaps you may prefer a cremation! In that case, are you bothered where your ashes are scattered? On a previous family grave perhaps or maybe on top of copse? (thats NOT corpse!) Is it important that your family comply with your wishes? Do you have any strange or weird ideas of your own such as: Welcome to the LifeGem Home - Memorial Diamonds created from a lock of hair or cremated remains / ashes / cremation process or Custom Large Glasses (about 4 pictures down) My eldest daughter confided to her husband just before she was killed in a road traffic accident that she would want to be buried in the Highlands of Scotland. After her death, he complied and she was buried in a beautiful spot overlooking the Isle of Skye. The sad thing is that I am her nearest family 400 miles south in Accy – and the rest of her family including her husband are over 600 miles south. I have few qualms over this, I believe that the physical body is discarded at death and so I would hope that when I pass over, my family go for the cheapest possible option:cool: The poll is multiple answers but please choose with care :) |

Re: When You Are Dead and Gone
My Dad wanted his cremated ashes scattered in the sea in Pembrokeshire.
Three weeks after he'd died off the family went in his boat, to carry out his final wish. Unfortunately we got stuck on some rocks, and all the ashes were blown in our eyes, when we were eventually free from danger. My Dad would have laughed, after telling us off for not learning anything from him about tides and stuff. I'm going to be blowing down over Ossy from the moors, and causing more havoc than acid rain, when I pop my clogs.:D |
Re: When You Are Dead and Gone
I'll be leaving it up to the family whats left when i go. The only stipulation i have is im not cremated. I have this feeling i'd come round as i was going into the oven no thank you!!!
By the way Busman do you know my brother? We were talking the other night and he said to me have you made a will? That got me thinking - im single, have no kids, no parents, just my brothers & sisters and their families and cousins. What do you do with the house etc. |

I have a friend who lives on a farm in Cornwall. Her father-in-law requested that his ashes were scattered around the farmyard where he'd lived all his life.
This was done...........but no-one thought about the chickens.........they ate him all up!! |
Re: When You Are Dead and Gone
My family if they are lucky might be able to sell my bits if it would make some money. If I am young enough then they can only do it after the removal of any transplantable bits.

Re: When You Are Dead and Gone
Am a great believer of organ transplantation. Remove all that they can.

Re: When You Are Dead and Gone
Yep , same here, the soul lives on in everyones memory of you, the body is just a temporary home. use what you want, burn the rest

Re: When You Are Dead and Gone
I don’t care what happens to my body when the grim reaper comes-a-calling. They can feed me to the lions or chuck me on a bonfire for all I care. After all I won’t actually know, will I?
However taking into account those that I leave behind I opt for removing anything that is transplantable, not that a 70 years old body will have anything worth transplanting. After that it is the fire for me and scattering my ashes on the Coppice. But I will not know if that happens or not because I will be DEAD! |
Re: When You Are Dead and Gone
I don't really care what happens to me when I'm dead. I am planning on being around for a while yet, but if I shuffle off this mortal coil prematurely, then feel free to help yourselves to any useable parts. I would prefer to be cremated and do not want to be a financial burden on my family. I would rather have a cheap send off, be scattered somewhere nice and the money be spent on a celebration for my family and friends because so far.........life's not been bad.:D

Re: When You Are Dead and Gone
When I'm gone I want to be burnt and have my ashes spread in rindys underwear draw, the thought that I can still be irritatating and a pain in the a*se for someone would be.....
Heaven! :) |
Re: When You Are Dead and Gone
Ever since I saw The Fall of The House of Usher I've had a morbid fear of being buried alive so I'd like to be cremated and ideally scatterd off the Donegal coast. The kids and Busman know where.
