What to do with your body - after death

Viking funeral pyre.

I wouldnt mind being shot into space (apparently I would have been if my mum hadnt been pissed).

I thought of that joke when I saw this thread but could not remember it. From a Roy Chubby Brown video IIRC.

I thought it went 'What's white and flies through the air"

The coming of christ.

Just to be a pedant - I think the correct term is Viking funeral boat which may or may not be performed at sea

I've told my wife that I want to be buried and have an apple tree planted on me. That way when people eat the apples they will be eating parts of a rotted down tony. It would make things even better if I could be planted (along with the tree) in somewhere really inconvenient.

It sounds like that guy in Ipswich had a use for dead bodies though

Good plan - suppose thinking about it I may decide to be burried too, just so that my kids have a place to visit, if they feel the need to !!! Its all psychological stuff for them, but why not, if it would make them feel better to go somewhere and sit for a few hours when they are troubled then its fine with me - after all it seems a choice of being food for the fish or food for the worms!!

Sod this only when they are troubled. I've told mine to visit at very specific times (during the night is good!) otherwise I'll haunt them. Whoooooo

Good idea again: I'd expect a Christmas visit with a bright candle as a present.... also my birthdays, they'd need to bring me flowers and lovely candles on every birthday again....

A distant grandma used to also bake cakes for anyone's birthdays, whether they are dead or alive... she'd get up and say - am baking a birthday cake for XX and we say, but he's dead... she'll answer: and what's that got to do with it??

Why would you want a to have a monument of sadness where people can come and feel tulip and cry? I don't want to be in a grave where people mope about and whine all the time when I'm dead!!

Burn me and let people remember the good times rather than give them a reason to be upset.
