I had to go to serval funerals these past 2 years , so what I like to know is this : when you die what are the three things you would want in your coffin ( morbit I know ) and why. and do you believe you will have them in the hear after?? for me it would be these: 1. a rose--- to smell and see its beauty.

2. a seed-----to plant and grow


3. pictures of my children and friends------so I have them with me

yes I truly do believes so

My children have instructions to spread a bag of dry peas (pea-shooter type) around me.
So I can rest-in-peas! 8^P

WOW this is funny. A topic I can add to. lol

One day I was complaining about having to do the dishes AGAIN. My youngest out of the blue says to me.. "Mom when you die someday, you won't ever have to do dishes anymore". lol

So on my headstone I want it written. THERE! Do your own dishes now. lol

I don't want anything inside my coffin when I die,, actually I think I would rather be cremated. idk haven't given that a real lot of thought yet.

Not to spoil the mood, but I've always figured that once I'm in my coffin, I won't really be caring about anything much.

Cheers

No, just cremate me because in the end those zealots from timeteam come and dig you up probably saying "...I think we can say that these bones came from someone in the spaceless age..."

I'd want an oxygen bottle in case i wasn't dead. A battery operated circular saw in case i wasn't dead. A bell to ring in case i wasn't dead. A loaded gun to make sure i was dead, in case first three options failed to help. Maybe just as well i'm getting cremated.

"Shrouds have no pockets."
Cheers,

I want a laptop with me so I can use the free and fast Wi-Fi hookup they offer in heaven!

I just want to be cremated, that's all.

Hi All,
I only told my wife the other day,when I die I
wan't you to put the latest laptop in my coffin,so in
heaven I will have pleny of time to master it.
Her come back was: What a waste of money.Where
your going,it's going to be ashes in five minutes anyway!!!!
(HELL) Sobering thought. :

Things I want in my coffin

1)Keg of Budweiser
2)Carton of Camel's and a lighter (they cant kill me now)
3)a chainsaw so I can kill off the other zombies


Dont worry if you think it wont fit in a standard coffin just bury me in my tool box it'll all fit besides I cant afford a coffin after i bought that thing (3.75 more years to pay on it)

The only thing I want in my coffin, is somebody else, besides ME!

hmm, perhaps a sprig of sage and some red jasper from the farm .

Although, i do feel my needs as a corpse will be different from my needs as a living being. What might i desire as a rotting corpse? ha haaa, perhaps some air freshner or deoderant? orrrr ...
some BRAins (said with sarcastic gurn) to snack on .

I am in agreement mainly with those that say it wont matter for they will be dead and be unaware, although i would prefer to be buried rather than cremated, because i started to take comfort in the thought a few years ago that with my body wrotting, i shall be providing food for the soil and nutrition for vegetation, the maggots that eat me shall feed birds and spiders when they turn into flys which in turn will keep the balance in the food chain/eco system. My existence spreading through the eco-system ties in with my beliefs in chaos.

MAD ONE cheers

I wan't either of these,but not for a while I hope.

That is nice way "to go ".....

I figure "I'll be dead, what do I care?". So I told my wife to save some money, just put in a Hefty bag and bury me in the back yard somewhere....

I have asked my family to bury me with my bottom poking up out of the ground, so the mourners will have somewhere to park their bikes.

I asked my wife to bury me in a pine box beneath the Rocky Mountains. Other than that, I can't think of anything else that will matter.

are you sure its not to let others (ahem)"kiss your butt goodbye"

I wouldn't want to be buried....My husband was cremated and his ashes have been spread in the various places in the US...I would like to be cremated and my ashes spread in Long Island Sound where i grew up fishing so as to feed the descendents of all the fish that i caught there in my youth....

mmm, i like that ...do fishes eat ashes?

I thought that they eat just about anything.....lol....

A big shovel, some tictacs, red dwarf series and a couple of rasins. No use at all but just for something to barter with if I meet other dead people. Zombies always need crazy weapons and boy fresh rasins will be precious to any undead. The tictacs to help clean my breath and red dwarf because it must be so dull being dead

I was also thinking of being put in a big glass airtight case, so I would never rot. Maybe in the future I will be revived . If I am I will remember you guys at Bleepingcomputer lol.

A bag of marshmallows and a stick, for when I get cremated!

For me,grave robbing is a little issue im woorying about...
I'll put these:
A small treasure chest that contains a letter that says "Nothing Here "
But ill place 2 more objects behind my back which is my laptop& my money
I'd just hope that my life will pass by the time when a very very secured coffin has been made
probably a password protected coffin made of strong metal or a keycarded one made of chrome steel
made to withstand all elements of being burried at the ground dont want worms to go crawling in my body though

For me, when I pass on, the only thing I want in my coffin is ...............................................ME!!!

I don't want anything at all in there with me. Let's face the facts.... I'll never enjoy it in a coffin.

There is an old saying........


And if I had to choose 3 things to bury with me, I choose 3 of the most deadliest/vicious people around.

Three down and ??? to go.

One Man's Opinion!

I've always been the practical (ok cheap) sort when it comes to funerals. I told my wife to just put me out with the trash or drop me off by the side of the road somewheres. I really won't mind cause I'm dead

My friends mom asked to be sent to "the body farm" in Tennessee so she could help solve murders

I was replying to a post the other day or last week about that. That's the name I saw on the news or something.. The Body Farm..... yep, that's it. They have everything you need to know about decaying bodies.

I wonder how far the place is from where I live. I'll do a search on it.

It's some where over by Tri-Cities Airport near Johnsonville i think. I know I used to pass by the area every time I came home from nashville

wow whats a body farm sounds scary

Its a place where the FBI and CSI units goto see what effects different things (bugs, car trunks, rushing water, the list goes on and on and on) have on a dead human body to help solve murder cases in their localities.

Watch CSi they talk about it every once and a while

There is an old saying...

You can't take it with you.

nevr really liked csi prefer bones myself thank for the reply though

Throw me in the river for all I care when I die. It's cheaper too

You see, when I'm dead, I kinda don't care. There was some pretty funny posts on here too.

You sound like a cheapskate.
Just stop where you drop.
Why pollute our waterways?

It was an expression. I dont mean literally throw me in the river. What I'm trying to say is that I think funerals and such are way too expensive. When I die, just do the cheapest thing to get rid of my corpse, like cremate me, but that costs a lot too . Sigh, even in death we are not free of payments (in an unreligious sense).

I do agree, humans have financial problems even after death. I think it would be more inexpensive to donate one's body to a medical institution than have a funeral.

In reply to the first post, I'd rather be cremated. The thought of rotting in a clammy coffin is not very... pleasant... haha...

How about a Viking funeral. Buy a wooden Canoe while your alive to enjoy it and then when you die throw your body in it and dose it in alcohol(gas would pollute to much plus the price of it now) and light it up and push it out in the river

At the risk of sounding ever so gruesome here, reality is that "worms to go crawling" is better than the alternative re using a steel, sealed coffin, etc. Honestly. (And please just use your imagination and science knowledge here and don't ask me to explain why - gentle smile).

For myself, I've requested 'immediate disposal' of remains (cremation) with simple cremation tray used and ashes placed in basic plastic urn and box (total cost $600 including the price of the death certificate). But then again, I hope my family and friends have a wonderful 'Celebration of my Life' later when my ashes are spread in the forest by the creek - and I've included a great deal more money than this purpose in my Will, for my family and friends to enjoy themself with that day.

Let me see.... Let me see.... Let me see... three things in my coffin with me.

1. A thick jacket.
2. A bottle of whiskey.
3. Marilyn Monroe.

All just to keep me 'warm' for eternity

well let me just state that i'd rather be creamated alternatively

For me I would like dearly to have my ashes spread on the earth to travel accross the globe. But I want to be remembered for what I did in life rather than my death, so even a simple burial with nothing would suit me just fine.

-Ussr1943-

Sorry,but I deserve only the best funeral, for the lifetime of crap I have endured.IMHO.

Hmmm ... when I really think about it ...

People spend a fortune on weddings (which may or may not last) - but if you spend a fortune on your funeral, at least you know it's a 'sure thing'

Agree MaraM,I don't expect a Mausoleum,But a decent Marble Headstone,would be nice.

LMAO, i like your attitudes DSTM and MaraM ha hahaha, i totally agree, yeah you might be dieing, but why not take PLEASURE in making grand plans

I shall plan the most fabulous party for my funeral, i wont be around to enjoy it, i wont be aware of it, but i'll have a great time planning it *nods head enthusiastically*

hmm, heres some lyrics to a song ...i think its beautiful

http://www.seizetheday.org/wordsworth2.htm

The best laptop available signed by Steve Jobs, Bill gates, Paul Allen, Ralph Bear, Keven rose, Henry Rollins, All of my friends, (the inventor of the altaier1 i forgot his name) The true nerds of this world

I sort of agree with DSTM... and everyone better cry and cry and be inconsolable when I die. I will come back and haunt those that aren't prostrate with grief when I pass away.
