How do YOU want to die?

[Crazeyal]

Not what yer thinking..

A stray comment by a forum member got me thinking of my own funeral. I'm NOT a religous person, and so far my family is my wife and relatives. The wife is protected by insurance, and the rest of the family doesn't rely on me for livelyhood. That leaves the message you want to leave.

I aint paying good money for a laqured pine box with PILLOWS. I'll be frackin DEAD!!! I'll be donating my body to science, medicine or target practice!!!:dgrin: (not that I don't dodge ammunition NOW...) Whatever.. I don't care what happens to my body and I am NOT shelling out my family's money for a gravestone that people go to to apologize for VISITING A STONE AND A CORPSE!!!

If my family needs to remember me, then it's my job to be memorable while I'm living.

BUT.. the one thing I AM going to set up and pay for... Is my funeral. Or rather, the wake. I want my funeral to have STRIPPERS and CLOWNS!! CLOWN STRIPPERS!!! More booze than a DragonCon Klingon room party! More food than Jabba's brunch!

Damn.. sucks I can't be there... Sounds like a fun party!!:lol:

[Mike Taylor]

Well, if we're going for bug-fuck crazyal answers... I WANNA BE LAUNCHED OUT OF A STEAM CATAPULT RIGHT INTO A BRICK WALL! SPLAT!

If we're going for serious, a simple, no-frills funeral at Laurel Hill Cemetery in my hometown will be fine. One of my drawings engraved on the headstone would be nice as well. (No, Al.... Sheri would NOT be my first choice of artwork. :p)

Well, if we're going for bug-fuck crazyal answers...

Who's bug fuck?

Seriously.

I have no desire to pay thousands of dollars for a hole in the ground and a block of granite that people stop coming to after a few years... then feel guilty about it.

I say spend the money on a party and give the people you've left behind one last smile. THAT'S the best way to be remembered.

[Crazeyal]

But the engraving on the headstone? Not a bad idea!

[Shryke]

I want to stroke out while being fellated in a hammock by a young redhead.
as for the funeral, cremate me mix the ashes with black powder and fire me out of a cannon.

[Crazeyal]

Meh..

Death just *IS*... If you think about it, there isn't jack you can do to stop it if it's yer time. I eat healthier than I used to, work out, drink less. Other than that, the worrying would probably shorten my lifespan worse than anything else.

I don't think that there IS a good time to die. Just.. let it be AFTER DC...:dgrin:

[Shryke]

I yearn for death. thats why I try to get as many redheads into hammocks as I can.

[Leffy]

does seem a good way to go.

i don't much care how i go out. i just want harli to be set up nicely. as for what i want done to my body? thats... a toughie really. i've seen most "natural" resolutions for the "dearly departed".

an "uncle" did the use me for science! bit. family followed his wishes, but did not realize that.... they give them back when they're done. that emotional confusion is something i don't want for my family.

my true uncle wanted to be interred next to his baby brother, but that cemetry had been "moved" and the infant site was "lost." following his wishes was also an emotional nightmare, making me leery of burial.

middle school friend was cremated. the death of a friend was tragic, and harsh enough for me at that age, but having a classmate get grisly and detailed about how a cremation is done traumatized me.

i don't want to be buried. i don't want to be used. i don't want to be burned. the thought of them pumping my body full of various fluids offends me in some odd way though i know its logical and practical.

if i pass i leave it to my loved ones to decipher how my body is to be handled. i'm fairly sure i'll no longer care, and the act of laying the body to rest is a ritual more for the living then for the dead anyways. i've a big family. it'll be a big occassion. i can only hope its one full of celebration for life. i know in the end it would be. get more then 5 thomas'es together and theres ALWAYS going to be alchol which always leads to parties.

maybe i should be buried with a keg.

[Plunder Down-Under]

I want Keith Richards to snort my ashes.

Seriously though, I want either a dungeon full of traps and monsters with everything I own as the treasure OR I was a button on my grave so when people step on my grave a recording f my voice screams at them to GET OF MY F$%$#ING BALLS!!!

[Wayne]

I have always wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. Making sure that I take a lot of people with me. But I have grown up now and I just want to live to a very old age and be with family at the end.

I always thought having the wake before I die would be a great idea. Make it more of a going away party.

[UberFische]

I want to die in the biggest gun-battle the world has ever saw. I'm talking a bad-action-movie-proportion gunfight. With explosions and people getting mowed down with automatic fire, as I listen to some great rock song (yet to be determined) and dispense wrath with my assortment of custom firearms...
...
...
...wow, I sound crazy...

[Kamn]

I want to die fast and painless, if possible. For a good cause, if possible. In reverse order.

As for my body, I am an organ donor. Whats left will be for my family to decide. Probably will be cremated. Dont realy care, as long as it is handleled with dignity.

Not a bad idea about the big party. This way they dont have to pay so much for inheriting money and still get the deadmans party. But, stripper clowns? Do they have female clowns? Or would this be a party more for the females? And from the sound of it, cremating is the cheapest way to go (apart from being lost).

[Ecchi_Kitty]

I want a proper crypt. Big granite sucker with gargoyles and stuff for the next generation of goths to enjoy.

I want my remains to be put in a nice suit and stuck in a heavy tomb. None of this replacing my blood with preseritives and sewing my eyelids shut crap. Assume I'm going to come back as a vampire in ten years and take the approprate steps that I won't be too pissed off when it happens. So yeah, no garlic or crosses either.

Clown strippers, man! :eek: Only you would come up with THAT. That's the bug fuck crazy part. :lol: I'm all for the food and the celebration.

[Leffy]

kamn. you want female stripper clowns? look up the word Juggalette. shitload of girls in clown make up being stupider then drunk co-eds.

these girls both amuse and offend me. they're not "true" juggalettes, because they're just flat out sluts. scary stupid sluts but sluts. but when you search the word its the easiest to find all the girls that want the excuse.

[Farler]

My grandfather donated his body to science and when they were done they put him under the tree near the stream in the graveyard. It's like a 10 000$ spot, it's beautiful, there are owls and it's beautiful. A nice happy place, I wanna be buried in a nice happy place... but in a cardboard box. I want to ROT, damnit. I want to return to the earth, but if they can't find a suitable box and since all caskets these days are airtight and indestructable (you mummify in your grave) then burn me. Incineration and scattering on the wind. Either way Im going back where I came from, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

[Seolta]

How's this (http://www.lifegem.com/) for an option?

The friend who told me about it said she'll occasionally look at her husband and say, "You know I love you dearly...but you'd make such a beautiful diamond."

[Darlica]

I've heard about those...
To me it seems a bit strange, I would like me loved one to be at rest, somewhere where I couldn't drop him, misplace him or have him stolen!
I'd set for a lock of his hair and a photo in a small locket.

I would like to go away in my sleep as painless as possible. I guess it's up to my family to decide what to do with the remains, grave, headstone and such are more for them than for me after all. Ashes scattered over open sea sounds good to me but I don't think my loved ones would be too happy about that.

[Ecchi_Kitty]

Half right. Look for a cremation casket to be buried in. They tend to be simple wooden boxes with little to no varnish or paint, since those would make nasty fumes when burned.
Wanted my dad to be in a simple box, a cremation casket is what we eventaully went with. Very nice, simple, and honestly, heck of a lot less expensive then an ornate casket.

[Wayne]

I think it now wise to let you all know that in my district where I work we have both the Aurora Casket Company and the Batesville Casket Company.

[Sehson]

I'd have my body tossed into a wood chipper over a field if it wasn't illegal...

But since it is cardboard box and cremation... with my ashes scattered to the winds...

as far as the dying goes...it'll probably be by my own hand cause well damit when you can't wipe your own ass, it hurts to pee and you can't get it up anymore... and it isn't goin to get better... then well it's time to clock out...

[Ecchi_Kitty]

The real problem is by that point it's a little difficult to kill yourself either. :(

[Big Otis Landfish]

Gotta pick a balance point like Hunter, I guess.

But then you might as well go whole hog and have Depp officiate while your remains are shot from a cannon.

[Sehson]

The real problem is by that point it's a little difficult to kill yourself either. :(

Nah you just have to know how to do it....

Dying is easy... it amazes me how many people fuck it up:dmad:

[Kamn]

Humans can die very easy, or very hard.

You get some people that can die from cutting their leg a bit (I can pass out, bad blood), while others get stabbed in the chest 12+ times and live... My friend used to be sick for 2 years day on and off. Now hes immune to all kinds of herpes :d8o: and doesnt get sick att all anymore...

[Ecchi_Kitty]

I said little difficult, by no means impossible.
