Do you think it is wrong to choose a coffin before you die?

I mean as an ex-sailor I want to be dead at sea... but my sister has a patch of dirt in New Jersey.

And I was born and raised in Brooklyn!

[Nitro]

I want to buried at sea.

Do ya Think?

Not if I can help it.

[Who dat?]

Do you think it is wrong to choose a coffin before you die?

It’s your funeral. You get to decide in my book.

The thought of being buried in the ground just doesn't sit well with me. Personally, fry me to ashes, scatter my dust...

Now, IF I had the money, I would really like to have my body in cryo and lauched out into the stars. Aim me at a nice glactic neighbor, send me on my way..

My son-in-law wants to build his own and use it as a coffee table until it is needed for continuous use.

[perfect stranger]

Why would it be wrong to choose a coffin?

You chose yours, now let me choose mine.

[wimpycat]

It's your funeral, as they say.

Make a will, if you haven't already, and specify how you want your body disposed of.

It is a bit odd to be planning for death unless it is right around the corner.

On the other hand, it makes it easier on family if everything is planned for and paid for when you kick the bucket.

I hate funerals. I'm not going to another one. Not even my own.

As for my final resting place, I'd prefer to be cremated and have my ashes used in a garden (rose or otherwise). Something useful.

And if I'm not cremated, then I should just be stuck in the ground in nothing more than eight sides of half-inch pine. None of this lead-lined, built-to-withstand-world-war-three nonsense for a coffin. And I don't want to be embalmed either. When I die, God intended for my carcass to be a banquet for the worms, so...so be it.

I think I'd want an indian burial, although burial doesn't really cover it.
Take this empty shell put it up on a platform and let the birds pick it to pieces either that or let .....

Weasels lick my flesh!

[LibWhacker]

"They scaffold their dead on eminencies where may be descried afar off."

Now that's the way to go! Let the birds have me. I don't want to be buried and I don't want to be cremated. I keep tellin' my wife, but she ain't buyin' it.

[LibWhacker]

Beat me to it! :-)

[Nitro]

I would take this second..

I want my entire dead body to be given to the sea.

1. If you want to make it enforcable, see a lawyer. (Hint, the more money you have when you shuffle off this mortal coil, the more attention your inheritors will pay to your wishes, provided you have an iron-clad will).

2. Consider cremation and scattering of the ashes at sea (unless you have some objection to cremation).

3. Really, why should anyone care so much what happens to the meat when we have left it? Funerals are not for the dead, they are to comfort the living. In my own case I only hope that no one pays a lot of money to tie up a 6x3 plot of land. What good is that?

[gcruse]

I plan on living forever. So far, so good.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

Do what gives you peace, Nitro.
