Creepy, possibly with a capitol C . . .

Not sure what you believe in the afterlife or how you would like to go out in or out of style, but this takes things to an interesting level and you must click on the additional link as well. Wow!

I guess I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as it's really what the person wanted.
The guy standing is creepier to me, maybe because he looks more like a dead guy. I think I'd be happy to go the rest of my life without seeing another dead person.

[Kevin]

what a waste of a good motorcycle

[Zen]

Now THAT's a happy outlook on the afterlife!

[Cambridge]

No waste there Mr. Smooth :), there is no mention of him being buried with his bike, it's just for the viewing. I am sure you could get it quite the discount . . . time to place your best offer :)

[Kevin]

i have no prob riding a motorcycle that someone was displayed on briefly. just as long as the creepy waxy make-up didn't get on it

I'm glad someone saw to it that his wishes were granted, that's all.

[RandomAnthony]

I want to be cremated, mixed with sugar, then sprinkled on the desserts of everyone at the wake.

:)

[Misty]

I want to be cremated, and I don't want flowers. Instead, I want everyone to bring a book. It could be a book that I suggested, gave as a gift, we discussed, a book the person thought I would enjoy, or just that person's favorite book. These books, instead of flowers and a dead me, would be on display and would give people something to talk about. Afterwards, all the books can be donated (I haven't yet decided what charity or organization will get them).

[Félix]

I'm not gonna die. I've decided.

[Misty]

I like that plan, too, Larry :)

[Heidi]

I want a viking funeral, too!!!

Bun, your comment was v. graphic. Ew. :)

[[deleted user]]

Eww. I think I've been turned off of the idea of being cremated. Wouldn't want little chunks of me flying into the mourners' food.

[Heidi]

Anthony, if I were to attend your funeral someday, I can guarantee that I wouldn't want to eat a charred, ashy chunk of you in the dessert.

Holy hell. How did people respond? Did anyone apologize?

"Um, sorry, Buns, didn't mean to get you with a chunk of remains..."

[Kevin]

wait? chunky? what about ashes to ashes - dust to dust? you telling me it is actually ashes to semi-ashes - chunks to chunks? so instead of a nice little urn we need a bucket and fireplace utensils?

Really, the only thing to say at this point is, "Goddamnit Walter! You fucking asshole!"




"Donny was a good bowler, and a good man...."

[Cambridge]

I can confirm BunWat's story I have been to several 'scattering of ashes' at sea and to put it delicately, the wind is never blowing in the quite the right direction as you bob up and down on the Atlantic on some nasty fall or winter day. I recommend that you stand on the bow and dump, it will never be Hollywood dust and wafting romantically . . . it is quite chunky and . . . ahhhh, always more than you think.

But I still plan to be cremated and have my chunks spread at sea, possibly blown right into the faces of my loved ones. Let the tradition continue :)

Exactly !!!

[Kevin]

when my dad is cremated i am going to put his ashes (chunks) into 20 gauge shotgun shells and we are going to shoot skeet with him as we scatter his ashes (chunks) into the wind

[Cambridge]

Sweet, stand upwind ;)

[Félix]

Kevin is so creative.

[Cambridge]

Hmmm, not sure 'creative' was exactly the word I was thinking of Larry :)

[Félix]

But he said it with love!

[Cambridge]

OH Larry, I don't doubt the sentiment behind his plan just not entirely embracing his mental faculties as 'creative' ;)

[Mary]

I want to be composted.

[Félix]

Shredded and composted, Mary? Did you see Fargo?

[Kevin]

hey, my dad loves the outdoors and loves to hunt and fish. this is totally a cool way to send him off so to speak. i even asked him about the idea and his reply was an enthusiastic "i don't give a shit"

[Julie]

I love it, Kevin.
I would love for someone to come up with something so creative to do with my ashes after I die.
And I say ashes, cause I wouldn't love having someone do something creative with my embalmed body...eeeeehhch.

[Kevin]

about all you can do with a embalmed body is display it creepily for awhile and then freeze it solid and put it through a woodchipper i suppose to get rid of it. wonder if you can put the bendy wire in the arms and legs like gumby to pose it in various ways?

[Phoenix]

I have given my family specific instructions for when I die, they are: Burn me, urn me, toss me (anywhere but the ocean). As far as something creative to do with the ashes, I saw a show featuring a lady who makes paintings with the ashes of loved ones....some of them were really pretty.

The guy in the second picture, propped up against the wall, makes me think of the song "Lean like a Cholo".

[RandomAnthony]

Welcome to TC, Alecia, if you haven't been already...

[Kevin]

reminds me of a country song "prop me up beside the jukebox when i die.."

and for some reason that reminded me of "wake me up before you go-go...."

"Lean like a Cholo."

Shit, that's funny! That's funny for us non-gringos.
