I really can't decide.
Cremation is an option, sure. But it'll just be me sans my organs, cuz they need to be utilized by others..minus the kidney that they took last year.
I'd love to become a tree, too, but not if that shit's too expensive. Maybe just mix my ashes with an acorn and bury me so that I'll live on that way.
Hell, as for an afterlife, I'd love to just go around brutalizing those who deserve it, teaching lessons to those who need it, and keeping the good people of the world safe from
those who would wish to harm them.
Don't like what I have to say? I respect that. Go fuck yourself.
I don't know, but if they don't come vote I am going to decide for them what happens with their body after they die.
Don't tell me this is too morbid of a subject peeps, you're on MDS!I'm gonna bump this thread just because I'm a-scared of you!
Interesting article. I've been a death hag since early childhood. I literally grew up in a small Catholic cemetery on a dead end road half a block from our house. There were four houses on our dirt road, and 17 children between the ages of toddler and 15 years. Over half of us were related. We called ourselves The Walnut Street Gang (in a Little Rascals kinda way, not in a Latin Kings kinda way) and we even had an annual "Miss Walnut Street Pageant!" They were different times, we played in that cemetery every single day of our formative years. Tag (the crucifix in the center of the cemetery was always "safe" of course!), hide and seek, huckle-buckle bean stalk, Marco Polo (great fun with headstones, ended with stitches more than once!), and my favorite - school. The older kids would pick a well-defined grave and adopt the name on the headstone as their teacher name (I preferred "Mrs. Christy" because the stone was very fancy and it was a big, family plot -
So yeah. When I die, my brain goes to a hospital in Massachusetts to be studied, any salvageable organs are up for grabs or study or teaching or whatever, and when they're all done with me, I want what's left to be buried in that little cemetery where I grew up - in a plain wooden box, but with a gi-NORMOUS Beetlejuice-style headstone that can be seen from the road!

Sorry, couldn't resist!
Happy Birthday! I hid a dead body in your backyard to celebrate. Good luck finding it under the cement. You can only use a stick to look for it.

I wasn't sure where to put this, but I thought this would work.

'No reason to be scared': Why some are turning to 'death doulas' as the end approaches
What an amazing article! I actually never knew that cremation was so harmful to the environment. My options are limited in Ireland as I don't think that water cremation is a thing here yet. I definitely don't want to be embalmed and buried at all. I would prefer to be cremated and scattered, however if water cremation becomes available and affordable here, I'll definitely opt for that.
I wouldn't mind being a death doula, but I think that it would be too emotionally taxing on me. I mean, we openly talk about death here and I think that's a healthy thing, but being an Empath means that I would be absorbing all of that sad energy around the families even if the person that is dying isn't upset at the thought. So I think I'll pass. I wouldn't really need a death doula myself, I think. I kind of already have a healthy attitude towards death and my family are aware of my wishes. I do think this is an amazing process though and I encourage it to become more popular.
We ALL will die at some point. I will never understand why people don't view it in a healthy way and avoid the discussion.

I am 100000% for death doulas. Our society fears death, which has always bothered me.
A friend of mine is a death/grief doula. She has an amazing knack for helping people manage grief. She became one after losing twins one week apart, her only biological children.
It is wonderful she is able to help others with grief. How sad about losing her twins.A friend of mine is a death/grief doula. She has an amazing knack for helping people manage grief. She became one after losing twins one week apart, her only biological children.

My brother and I talked about this several months ago. We came up with the idea that instead of a funeral we wanted our immediate families to have an adventure of a lifetime. No funerals or any formality. Basically a road trip for our kids to take together, going to sprinkle ashes at all the destinations that held meaning to us during our lifetime. Nothing fancy just places we all had fun together.

Thats different and interesting. Where would a few of those places be? What would be the top 3 places?
I love that!
My main request is to a NC beach where we all went together. St. Charles Street in New Orleans during a Mardi Gras parade. Fishing in the Calcasieu River in Louisiana.

Cool yo. I have two places, the beach in Atlantic City NJ....that beach has special memories for us. And anywhere in Zion national park, my favorite place on the planet.
how did I never reply to this.
Honestly, I don't care. but if the Mr had a wishes and if (hypothetically) his wishes were to be cremated and allowed to go over some huge falls of water near us, in a small barrel, I suppose I'd hypothetically want the same. Not saying anyone would do such a thing but if I were to do that for him I hope I'd be able to located a large falls of water near us and I'd hope I could find a small barrel on my shelf in my basement. But I'd never ever do such a thing because it might not be legal. And I am, as you know, all about law and order.
I got the exciting task of my folks ashes. Dad died first and waited in his box on a shelf in my spare room. When Mom passed she and her box went on the same shelf and I attempted to get my brother to scatter them w/ me. After he chose to pretend he wasn't hearing my requests we took our canoe out onto the small lake we once had a cottage on and w/ the new owners permission we took mom and dad out into the middle and liberated them from their holders. It was a quit October day, their anniversary but that part wasn't planned, just one of those coinkydinkys. We were the only people on the lake, there was no wind, and two ducks (or geese) flew over and landed near us. It was the best moment for my folks so I hope someone finds the best moment for me.

Yes and no. I've been waiting for my mom to haunt my ass but she hasn't shown up yet and I'll admit I'm a little disappointed w/ her for that.
Mom had a cemetery picked out. It was a small one near the end of that same lake and whenever we passed it during my childhood she's mention it. But we also could have put them both in a family area in the cemetery in my Dad's home town. I considered that too. But Dad loved the cottage. And he spent most of their marriage helping her out because of medical and mental issues. Life revolved around Mom. So I finally decided that she should do something for Dad and fearing the wrath of dead mom... I took them both together and liberated them at the lake anyway. I justified it because the entire time Mom was here after Dad passed all she wanted was to be with him. Even deep in her dementia, she called out for him and while I'm not one for religion and heaven but I'd like to think if there's a heaven she went there and he was waiting for her. I made sure their ashes were together just to cover the bases.

Take me to McD's when I die.
I want to know the story behind this picture. I'll make one up if I have to.
