How do you want to go?

Cremation, then scattered over TRF.

Wife wants one of those natural burials in a biodegradable container, then plant a fig tree over her.

[Merlin the Elder]

Lord Dragon, in some states, and I know this to be true in Arkansas, even with written wishes, the family can override the cremation request.

[Rani Zemirah]

If my family doesn't want me to come back and haunt them, they had BETTER accede to my wishes... in this matter, at least!!!   

[Merlin the Elder]

Luckily, it's not a problem in my family. The issue was brought to my attention by my parents when they pre-arranged their disposition. They called everyone together to make sure there were no objections because the funeral home warned them about this. Well, Pop's already toasty and comfortable in the Arkansas Veterans Cemetery, right in the flight path of the NLR airport, which is fitting for an Air Force man...

Cremation, then thrown into Kilauea volcano.
The arraingements have been made.

I have heard of that. My mother never put it to paper, I figure me doing it all legal like will keep them from tossing too much of a total fuss. Not to mention I live in another state and pretty sure I always will no matter where I move, from them. In writing and crossing state lines with legalities will make it hard for them to get all uppity.

I think I'd like to die in an exploding spaceship.  That would take care of any body disposal, too.

[Baron Frederick]

I think you missed your flight?

[Molden]

I want to be cremated. My ashes to be divided - half going to TRF and half going to BARF, to be loaded in opening cannon and FIRED! 

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Load part of me ashes up in TRF's cannon and the rest scattered to the winds, in the mountains outside Inverness.


*When i go into the oven, they'd better have dressed me in my best Fraser...*

[Hoowil]

Makes me think of a bad joke: 'When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers'
If money were not an issue, I would want to be launched to sea in a boat, and have it burned to the water. Realistically, cremated. After all, to paraphrase, its better to release the spirit in a quick blaze, then to moulder in the earth.

[az]

i want to be shot out of the opening cannon at TRF on a highland fling weekend. 1. because it will be the first time i ever made for opening and 2. so my ashes will be scattered on the ground with all the kilts walking over me. 

[lady M]

When my time comes my sons to have my body cremated. They are to leave a little of my ashes in all of my favorite places in TX, NM, OK, CO, UT, and AZ. It will be the last time we make a trip to these places together as a family.

[Merlin the Elder]

After the events of the past 10 days, I am going to have to say, the way I want to go is "later." Too many faires yet to visit, and too many friends yet to hoist an ale with. Texas, you're too damned hot, but you have a lot of my friends within your borders. Take care of them!

[Rani Zemirah]

Merlin, I heartily agree!!!
