When you die

[NorthernDave]

Also on the organ donor register, so they can have / use whatever is worth having.

Then I'm another one for the full on blazing Viking longship, which seems more popular on here than I'd anticipated.

200ft tall Gordon Bennett style owl mausoleum for me.

 

[Dave7]

True, but i do like to support the local farmers.

She will be too busy. What with hanging the washing and "bimbling" around welsh wales.

 

[Dave7]

I've made arrangements for my ashes to be buried in my palm tree's soil. I can't think of a better place to end up.

Unless you are a palm tree .

 

[Dave7]

I would like to be a donor but a) Mrs D is against it and b) I cant imagine anyone being interested in my bits although I may do a Ken Dodd and have a cucumber glued on next to a sign saying "the martians have landed"
We are shortly going to have a natter with family about what happens when cloggs are popped.
Kids will be financially ok and that pleases me.
Our 2 "children" and the eldest grandchildren still talk affectionately about Mrs Ds Mum and I just hope they will all feel similar about us in years to come. If not I will come back and haunt the little barstewards

Have told my lot that if I ever die , the then whatever's useful can be donated, and at minimum cost, get me cremated. Then, stick the ashes in some kind of perforated metal container, strap the container to a bike rack (rear would be best) and cycle me round Northumberland

Do it in the Winter and you'll be helping to grit the roads

I have told Mr WD when he dies i will get the farmer to dig a hole in the field and i will bury him there. All it will cost me is a few quid for the farmer to buy himself a drink.

remember to get the farmer to leave his bum sticking out of the ground. You'll need somewhere to park your bike when visiting the grave

EDIT - damn, joke already used. Oh well

 

[Redlight]

Any useable bits donated to needy recipients, the rest cremated. Don't care about the ashes - they might be quite good for the flower beds in the back garden. (My brother in law keeps my sister's ashes on the bookshelf and talks to them, which I find rather sad.)

Assuming I outlive my parents, the only family are my wife and son, and I'm an atheist, so a funeral seems a bit unnecessary, but I imagine (hope?) they will want to do something "formal" as a way of saying goodbye. I think 2 or 3 people are permitted to attend a straightforward, no-frills, disposal so that would seem the most likely option.

I have a friend who runs non-religious and non-demoninational funerals. Assuming she outlives me, and has all her marbles, she'll be doing mine seeing as I am atheist

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Donor card carried.

Once they've had what they want (if anything, as I hope its all well and truly knackered by the time I toddle off) then it's a cremation for me, no funeral service whatsoever and then ashes on Scout Scar Kendal where I have spent many happy hours wandering.

Not yet decided what I'm coming back as.

Best funeral I ever attended was a humanist ceremony. It's an odd thing to have a favourite of, but it was really excellent.

 

[Saluki]

Strip me for parts and cremate the rest. Scatter me at the seaside please.

Are you saying she is good at getting people off ?
