Reply to: What to do with your body - after death

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

Well spotted though I stole it from his live show. Virtual pint awarded.

On another part of this subject: Why are people so upset when someone dies? I understand the feelings of loss etc. But surely we should be celebrating the life lived.
If you are religious then surely you should be pleased that they have gone toa better place. If not you shoul be pleased that they ar eno longer suffering this toil we call life and that they are not suffering in old age and dementia etc.

Dear Ardesco

Sadness is part of life, everyone feels sad now and again

Every body hurt sometime ….

Just want my kids know that they can still come to me when they are feeling sad/hurt when I am dead….. when they are happy, of course am not expecting them to remember me or come to me …tis the circle of life

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!!

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.

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??

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

Viking funeral pyre.

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

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

Couldn't care less - I won't need it again....

That what The Bride probably thought in Kill Bill, just before she woke up paralysed and ready salted.

Couldn't care less. I won't be needing it.

Woah...... Spooky!!!
