I'd like my 'remains to be put to better use as a medical research donation. (lotta funky issues with my body)

I'd like my 'estate to be given to the potawatomi nation.

I'd like anyone who tries to arrange a 'memorial to do better things with their time.

How do I prefer to be remembered?

I want my body to be cremated, because buying a coffin and putting it in the ground wastes valuable space that could be used to grow crops. I don't want to dedicate my organs to medical research. Now, before you downvote, let me explain why. I would rather my organs be donated to be used as replacements, rather than performed research upon. Maybe that's just me, but I'd rather my organs help save a life rather than be used in an elaborate prank by med-school students (my mother went through med school, as did many others in my maternal family tree. They all pretty much agree that the organs aren't fully respected).
As to the service, I would like something more approaching an Irish wake, where they stay around celebrating my life, rather than mourning my death.
How will I be remembered by casual acquaintances? Probably 'that weird guy'. And that's fine by me.]]><![CDATA[Moe @ 12/15/2007 2:22:52 AM]]>http://www.plime.com/gossip/f/943/1/rss0_91.rss#q31« craziesean : circus midgets, fire eaters, bag pipers, lots of drinks, a clown that does balloon animals, a few strippers, A wooden ship, and a viking send off.

The ashes are to be split as follows:

1) A portion into a batch of homebrewed beer to be served at the party

2) A portion shot into space...not just the lame close earth orbit either...I mean VGer type space here

3) A portion made into a gemstone by these guys

4) A portion placed into an hourglass so the wife can finally get some work out of me

The cremation should be as closely authentic to a Viking funeral as legally possible.

Also, I will have a ceremony held on the beach at midnight where a lawyer will meet all of my family members and they will witness a large box taken out of a van and placed on the beach and set on fire to be burned to nothing.

In said box will be all my worldly possessions liquefied to $100 Dollar bills, which of course will be consumed by the fire.

Afterwards, everyone will be given a note explaining what has just taken place with the words

HA HA

prominently displayed on the back of the paper.

Not that I have ever given this any thought or anything.]]><![CDATA[KingKoopa @ 9/25/2007 12:01:51 AM]]>http://www.plime.com/gossip/f/943/1/rss0_91.rss#q28
It's going pretty normally, lots of people talking in a big church until BAM! The lights go out. No one knows what's up, and then a strobe lights come on as my suspended corpse is on rope swinging from the ceiling marionette style (waving arms and stuff) and someone is doing sound effects for me "WooooOOOooOOOOOO!!!" "Leave LOTS of money for the family OR I'LL HAAUUNNNNTTTTT YYYYYYOOOOUUUU!!!!" etc.

Or, I'll completely plan my death so that I'm doing something awesome. Like, skydive and conveniently forget my chute, or fly a plane until it's out of gas, or fight like 8 blackbelts and see how long I last. Better yet, put me in a cage with a hungry grizzly, bengal tiger, and falcon and let me try and fight my way out. What flippin' awesome way to die...]]><![CDATA[favorablydisposed @ 9/24/2007 5:08:43 PM]]>http://www.plime.com/gossip/f/943/1/rss0_91.rss#q27« gnikgnok : I was wondering when that topic was gonna come up...

I have to agree with most of you-all above, the funeral/ceremony is for the benefit of the people who stay behind, not for the participant.

Tell everybody about what your funeral will be like: Lots of people, just a few family, trading stories or crying about the loss (or celebrating that you are finally gone).

What kind of things do you hope they will say, and do you think they will mean it?

I have already told my family that I think a funeral is to help the survivors get through, but I hope they will consider a wake, rather than a funeral. I hope my family and friends will all gather and tell about the time I shot a lima bean out my nose, or the time I missed the test to be on Jeopardy so I could drive 200 miles to get my daughter. I hope that I do not die in such a way that my passing becomes a public event. Family and friends only is the way to go.]]>
