Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

cremated.

I think DH wants to be buried.

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

i voted other.

after i "go" and all of my useable organs are donated, i want to be cremated. i just do not believe in having a place where people can go to be sad.

i don't want to be in an urn on someones mantle, so i'm going to leave it up to my kids and dh to spread the ashes somewhere they think i would like. (or, come to think of it, in multiple places.)

i swear though, if i do get buried, i'll come back from the dead and haunt all of them.

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

DH and I already bought our place at Pinelawn We don't even own a house yet but we have graves It was our 1st "big" purchase together for no other reason then I wanted to be near my mom and she was buying her slot so I had to make a decision. Anyway.. we are going in one of those wall things.
I didn't want to be buried and I didn't want to be cremated. My DH didn't really care either way.

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

I want to be cremated.
Because I don't like the idea of being buried and my family moving away from me.
So I told my DH & DD that I want to be cremated. They can each keep some of my ashes and take me wherever they move.
I don't want to be left alone

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

I am thinking cremation. DH has not said. Whatever we pick I want us together.

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

Cremated. But I don't care if they keep my jar or not. I just don't want to be buried in the ground.

DH wants to be buried "just in case we get to come back as zombies."

Buried - Jewish tradition

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

I want to be cremated and (which probably won't happen) have my ashes scattered on the Walt Disney World property. Sounds silly, but I am a huge Disney World fan and that is my ultimate happy place that holds so many memories for me. I told my parents and they acted like I wanted to be scattered on the steps of the Magic Kingdom. It's a huge property, I'm not picky as long as I'm there somewhere!

ETA: DH wants to be cremated too because his grandfather is and it's both his grandmother and father's wishes as well.

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

As of right now, I want to buried & I believe that DH feels the same way. I really want to be in the same cemetery as my sibling and grandparents....not sure what DH wants. My sibling was cremated (1st one in the family to ever do it) and we spread some ashes, buried some and the rest was given to my sibling's child (who was 1 @ the time) to decided what they want to do w/it in the future. If I do decide on cremation....I def will want some spread and the rest buried.

dh said he wants to be cremated and I want to be buried, with him buried next to me. I told him I didn't want to be "alone" in the ground.

His response? "you'll be dead you won't know I'm not next to you"

Thanks guy!

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

I am a organ donor so whatever they want they can have- what ever is left I want to be cremated. Not sure where I want my ashes yet though

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

Me cremated and spread over family land in Ireland. DH buried.

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

I want to be cremated and then have my ashes spread at sea... I dont get the point of being buried in the ground... you are just going to rot away and have bugs eating at you I rather be someplace more "meaningful" to me

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

I want to be cremated but probably not sit in a jar in someone's house.

I would go in a crematorium (like a mausoleum but for urns). I would be happy if my family wanted to spread my ashes somewhere exotic and tropical though!

I like the idea of cremation and spreading my ashes in places I lived and loved.

Posted by CouponKT

actually, I want my body donated to science.

Ever since reading "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers", I'm no longer keen about my entire body being donated to science. It's a great gift for those who need organs to live, but all the other things they do with cadavers are creepy and crazy. I really don't know how I feel about it anymore.

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

grave...I'm a believer in ashes to ashes...


I did think the living reef thing was pretty cool...or you could be made into a diamond.

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

dh wants to be cremated i want to be buried...

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

I want to be put in a mausoleum. Being buried scares me even if I am dead.

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

I want to be buried. DH wants to be cremated.

Re: Another horrible and morbid question.

I want to be buried...Jews feel very strongly about keeping all of yourself together because when (if) the messiah comes you will be resurrected the way you were buried...so if you're cremated, you'll come back a pile of ashes, if you donate your organs, you'll come back without them.

I don't know that I 100% believe...but I'm not taking the chance.

DH will be buried...but...he is not Jewish so I don't know WHERE we will be buried...I want to be in a Jewish cemetery with my family but DH can't be buried there...I don't like to think about it.
