Plans For Your Body When You Die?

Mickjg

Whenever I die, hopefully after a long and fruitful life, I intend to donate my body to science. Whether it's used for medicine or forensic science I intend to out my body to good use. If any of my organs can be used then I'll gladly let them be taken.

Once I die I have no need for a body and there's no point in just sticking it in the ground. After it's finished being useful my family can cremate it and do whatever they want with it.

So, people of AH what are you plans for your body after you die?

Fago!

Have my body eaten whole by Mary Harney.

TheZohanS

Cremated, ash scattered to the four winds. No grave, no ceremony. Anyone that wants to celebrate my death can organise a huge big pìss up.

Saila

to be stuffed, knob and all and left in the playboy mansion as a 'doll'

Fago!

Actually I want to be stuffed with magnets and put in a see through coffin on top of a metal ground.

I'm going to live on a cloud with some virgins (I hope I die before my wife)!

Any info on leaving my body to science?

Apparently Trinity takes bodies for med students. Once they're finished the remains are returned to the family.

Uriel.

I am gonna Be buried intact in the hope of rising again... Bone daddy!!

The real fun is that I plan to die in an explosion so best of luck to them fulfilling my last wish putting me back together muhahahaha

Run_to_da_hills

When I die I want to be cremated and then the ashes put through the fuel system of my GSXR 750L

Princess Peach

I want to be cremated and have my ashes painted into a beautiful portrait of me and hung over a loved ones fireplace.

Temptamperu

I would like to be shot into space.... if not that then donate me to science.

Fago!

To be attached to thousands of helium balloons and set off bray head. Wonder where I'll end up.

I don't wanna just be buried or cremated, so boring. so may aswell have some fun in the afterlife. I'd want my remains disposed of in the most imaginative way possible.

Btw, is there a law that says you have to be buried or cremated?

red menace

I have asked my wife to be stuffed and placed on the couch with a cup of tea in one and and tv remote in the other
Strangely meeting some resistance on this one

Praetorian Saighdiuir

I wana be heavily varnished in a weird innapropriate pose and placed on Grafton Street in Dublin.

That will show them feckin statuette mimes!

Reamer Fanny

No plans for my body as such but I'd like a 10ft statue erected in my honor

newbee22

My first plan is that I hope I don;t wake up when I'm 6 feet under, through the doctors pronouncing me dead when I'm actually in a very deep sleep!:eek:
Maybe I'll donate all my organs so the above doesn't happen!

No fear of you being buried alive.
What with your blood being drained etc before you are put in a coffin

Jesus, you're even trouble when you're dead!. Knowing you, you'd end up being sucked into an aircraft engine and take a few others with ya to the after-life :pac:

senorwipesalot

I gave the mrs. strict instructions to leave me out for collection by Mr Binman on the Tuesday morning after my passing.

RichieC

I'm going to have a half a million slaves build me a pyramid.

It's going to rock!

Universal Soldier

That is all.

Ghost Buster

Im having all my inners taken out (Outer inners if you will) and Im gonna have myself stuffed with pic n mix and shot into the grounds of an orphanage.

I'd like to donate my body to science, maybe they can learn something from me.

Just looked into that:

http://www.medicine.tcd.ie/anatomy/donations/

Good idea.

Tehachapi

I want my body floated up the ganges.

Rubberlegs

Any part of me that's of use to anyone else can be taken. After that, I only ask that I be buried in a pair of Converse, purple ones perhaps. I'd like to be buried in the town I live in now, with a simple yet fitting headstone, maybe a nice little quote on the end of it:)

The_Thing

I would like to have my body encased in a capsule and launched into deep space where I would spend enternity drifting across the Milky Way.

galwayrush

Worm food i expect.

I thought of this too. I'm not into religon, so we're worm food after we die. I like the idea of being able to serve some kind of purpose after death though.


During an assignment I was working on in forensic science I did a piece on The Body Farm.


I'd rather do something like that.

looky loo

I want my body put in a black bin liner, and put the charity sticker from the feckers that wake me up at 6.30am delivering them on it....and give them a nice wake up call.

This.

Reanimation.
It'd be nice to know that after I've moved on, my body would be put to good use in the inevitable zombie apocalypse, wandering the world scaring the sh*t out of people and maybe even catching and biting one or two.

I read a book called Stiff:The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. Brilliantly interesting and entertaining if you're not squeamish.
Best idea in the book, which I would opt for if I had the choice (think you can get it done in Scandanavia) ...
Body gets dipped in liquid nitrogen and solidifies. Body then sonicated to shatter into tiny pieces. Pieces used as fertiliser in the ground to plant a tree and the tree becomes your memorial for your family.

noxqs

Im an organ donor - hopefully will be of some last use. Also intend to sign up my body for a university to study.

But of course - I always imagined I would die driving the Nightrider drunk with the Olsen twins on my lap. So I might not be of much service to the medical community after that.

Everybody wakes up in the coffin, they just lie to people who have this fear.

Standard Toaster

I might put it in my will that I'm ok with necrophilia...

Apanachi

This would be pretty cool:

But I want to be buried in Ireland, so I won't be donating my body (I do plan on donating organs if they are still in working order to help save a few lives though)

enda1

Seeing as we've no rights to decide what happens to our bodies (in Ireland anyway), there's not much use making plans as no one has to listen to them anyway.

Even if you wanted a Christian burial with your corpse intact, your next of kin could have your organs all given up and your body cremated. And visa-versa of course.

I thought embalming and blood draining was an added extra at the funeral parlour. Bargain basement package is your blood stays with you. Yes / No?

eyescreamcone

Maybe a little off topic but still related.

Do people agree/disagree that there should be an assumed consent to donate organs after death?
In some countries they assume consent but not in Ireland.

If everybody donated their useless carcass then the lives of those still living could be helped.

Archeron

I want to be dipped in plastic and set in a lecherous ogling pose where I will forever eye up the hot underwear manequinns in the window in Brown Thomas.

MerryLegs

Be buried in one of those spring open coffins with loads of confetti inside so that some day an archaeologists will have a interesting day at work!:D
