Ashes To Ashes, Dust To Dust

[fish]

So many deaths, so many funerals. Some have been sad, some have been fun. Burial or cremation, what to do? It's your funeral, you decide. "If not now, when ......"

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

ok

Like Ophelia/Lady of S. down the Thames please in a willow basket - ending in a viking pyre with a few fireworks thrown in. [that actually sounds a bit like one of Ken's festivals but that's not what I mean!] Followed by a huge piss up.

[Brendan]

Flaming pyre at sunset on a summers evening please. I would quite like some dancing naked ladies too.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Oh you mean on here?

Body to science, burn the rest and plant a tree in the on top of the ashes.

[Brendan]

If my children end up being annoying I?m going to leave some ridiculous request like having my head stuffed and brought out once a year at Christmas and set on the dinner table.

Or there is that thing where they take your ashes and make you into a diamond. I would quite like to be made into a diamond and then fashioned into a nipple ring for dusky belly dancer.

I'm going to live forever.

[David Mc]

Like Hunter S Thompson - blasted up in a big firework!

[Jah Lush]

I'm gonna get Keith Richards to snort my ashes.

My Dad (bless him) wishes to be put on a wooden boat, have it set alight, and then push it off (!) towards France. And I quote "that way, those bloody frogs have all the inconveniance, and not you!".

Not sure what the coastguard might say, but it would be fun.

Something like this but without the family in vikiing costumes:

Been there, done that - lived to tell the tale.

I am the chosen one. All hail The Fish. Ha, ha, ha. I've been having delusions of grandeur - so I want a state funeral and a month of mourning.

I'd like to be nailed up on a cross, suffer immeasurably pain unto death - and then rise on the third day, please.

[Keef]

*Bob I did that years ago. Like I said, I'll live forever.

The rest of what? lol

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Haha, not the rest of the world or anything, just the rest of the bits science doesn't want!

[LuvPeckham]

Hey

I am disapointed with this thread

Opened it up thinking it was containing new information on the TV series "Life on Mars" and what do I find a bunch of morbid people talking about their funerals and what to do with their ashes.... most disapointed and just before Christmas too.....

(actually if anyone has a good idea for ashes then let me know as my father has been under the wardrobe for nearly 5 years now and we still don't know what to do with him....::o )

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Good for the roses - plant a bush in memory.

Have told my kids to waste as little money as possible on my demise, bury me in a balsa wood coffin or cremate me and put me on the compost heap at the bottom of the garden! Oh and merry xmas to you all!
