What do you want when you die?

Just seen an advert about what people would like when they die.

Told the g/f i want my coffin to be transported to the funeral on top of a seven (with full cage & strapped to the top). Would make one heck of a funeral cortège (and maybe save a penny or two with not having to hire a hearse).

So what do you want when you die?

All set out...

Body delivered to crematorium by undertakers.
Body burned without ceremony.
Ashes collected by wife (or next of kin).
Ashes spread in the garden by wife (or next of kin) without ceremony.

I'm aware that this could be interpreted as quite a selfish way to bow-out (seems many people need the 'closure' of a funeral / wake), but my wife understands and that's all that matters to me!





It's Evolution Baby!

I want, and I'm serious, a coffin made out of quarter plate and welded up by my coded welder mate. I want to go to the graveyard on the back of a flatbed and get lowered into the hold by hiab because it will be too heavy to lower by hand

I want loads of weird crap in and welded onto the coffin so that when they did me up on TimeTeam 3000 they say "this guy was a effin nutter"

I am 100% serious, my draughtsman mate is doing the drawings and my mate who owns a big fabrication company has agreed to supply and cut the plates. I reckon it'll be cheaper than regular funeral too.

I'm of the minimum fuss way of thinking too, but TBH I won't be there so whatever works for those that are is just fine with me.

Three men were asked what they would want to be said about them at their funerals. The first one said, “I want someone to say I was a wonderful father.”

The second man said, “I want someone to say I was the greatest baseball player ever.”

The last man said, "I want someone to say, ‘He’s moving, he’s moving!’”

I wanted my ashes distributed in small quantities in the ashtrays of every pub in Chelmsford, but as youcant smoke in pubs that idea is out the window so I am considering donating the whole body to medical science,
That should give them a laugh if nothing else.

I want my corpse to be burnt in a 200ft wicker man with black metal playing ear-bleedingly loud. Then a jousting tournament.





The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

Have it argon filled while you are at it - give the timeteam something to really talk about!

Benzine - that's an awesome way to go!

Personally, I was going to go for the 'burlap sack into a hole in the ground' approach somewhere quiet and far away from any bloomin' churches! Ideally, I'd like a tree planted on top of me so that it could re-use my atoms.

Fairly shortly thereafter, I'd secretly like to be able to come back as some form of malevolent entity and wreak untold havoc on anyone I choose. That's rather unlikely to happen though!

But if I get to come back I want to be a cat. Bloody easy life.

deffinatley worth thinking about, when I died I hadn't made any plans, luckily I was only dead for a short time (about 35 seconds) now I have full plans in place, fireworks, loud music and hopefully one hell of a party. Bring it on I say, been there done that and there is nothing to fear.......unless you dont come back

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather.

Not screaming in terror like his passengers



It's a classic......

unusual topic that is not often discussed, but the inevitable will happen to us all.

My wishes are planned & arranged.........

To be transported to my grave on a sled pulled by a team of Huskies, if some of my own are still alive then they will be involved, if not, the ashes of my dogs to be buried with me , photos of my kids in my hands.

On a lighter note my mrs says she will also put a packet of cigs , a lighter & a flask of coffee in with me, cos i,m always saying i,ll have a fag & a coffee before i do things she wants doing

cheers
andy
