    For your Funeral. Buried, any specific place? Cremated? Where do you want your ashes? Thrown in the sea?

    I wanna be buried in a normal graveyard personally. No fancy Shmancy shtuff for me.

    Personally I don't want to go....but when i do, I really don't care what happens to me because I will be DEAD!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    For my funeral, i couldn't give a monkeys.

    For my death however, i'd prefer to have a meaningful death, near mid life, than to have a meaningless drawn out death after a pointless life.
    Give my life for someone, or for a cause, something i'd be remembered for ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 357 ✭✭rachel


    cremated

    i know i'd be dead so i won't care but right now the thought of being buried and the whole decomposing lark is a little too much...

    Strange But True...

    I would like to upload my mind & all my memories to a computer (with the addition of the knowledge that, this event occured). Then have my stored information uploaded in to a borg, or next generation human clone, so I could live on. It would just be like falling asleep and awaking with a new body. I'm sure there are people reading this and thinking he must be mad. You are probably right, but I don't mind the politics and filling out forms etc ;)

    Failing that, I would like to be cryogenically preserved.

    Failing that I would have to say that I don't know what will happen because if I don't die for quite some time, and live to be old, who knows what options I will have then. So if ye're all around when I'm on my dying bed, I let yez know

    ;-phobos-)

    When I am dead I would like to be cremated please, and my ashes put into an egg timer.

    :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 113 ✭✭daftbegger


    I wanna be turned into a 'Doors greatest hits' coz I will live 4 evah!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 286 ✭✭n.catenthusiast


    I dunno, i might give my body to that German freak show thingy, where they pump plastic through the blood vessels, and put the resulting preserved body into hilarious positions.

    I'd like to be mummmified or frozen. But the whole "being under the ground" stuff feels kind of icky so it puts me off being buried.

    I guess realistically I'd like to be cremated, and then just thrown in the air in the wind or something, but preferably not in Ireland

    That's something I never got, how are some people scared of being put in a coffin and buried, yet fine with being put in a coffin and rolled into a fire?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,149 ✭✭✭✭Lemming


    quickly .... very quickly .. and relatively painless as possible

    BUT .. failing that,

    in bed frmo a massive heart-attack brought on by having a shag-a-thon with several young lovely pr0n-starlets :D

    I can think of worse ways to go ;)

    DEATH BY SUSU!! LONG LIVE THE BROKEN PELVIS!!! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 517 ✭✭✭hacktavist


    Id like to die after falling (jumping?) of something high I think the rush would be great.
    Id also like to know what its like to get shot and have a limb cut off.
    But thats just me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,025 ✭✭✭yellum


    I want to go violently. Fighter jet smashing into ground or something like that. Very violent but instant death. Big ball of flame if possible so theres **** all of me left.

    Then the conspiracy theories of me not really being dead could start.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,777 ✭✭✭✭The Corinthian


    In the family crypt, next to my great grandfather and (also eventually) my father.

    Kind of a warm fuzzy feeling, knowing that - in a morbid kind of way...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,335 ✭✭✭Cake Fiend


    Cremated - I've always hated graveyards; not only a waste of space, but a horrible place to visit.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    I'd like to die in the arms of someone special to me.

    Definitly cremation when I'm gone.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,389 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lenny


    I have me parents grave for me if I want it over in newlans Neil :D hehe


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 972 ✭✭✭havok*


    6 ft under pls.

    should hopefully have a fair few grand spare for the biggest free piss up everrrrr afterwards :)

    Why do so many ppl want to be cremated ? seems abit messy (for everybody else)

    cremated, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm,

    i thinkt the thought of someone diggin ya back up and havin a look at your bones then puttin ya on display wayyyyyyyyyyy in the future. i dunno, ya'd just feel so naked :) ya i know ya'd be dead, but STILL! and when your creamated your loved ones can bring you home in a jar. i'm sure my familys morbed sence of humour would have a laugh about that, even if they would be realllly depressed etc.

    like to die peacefully in my sleep like its said to happen to sooooooooooo many people. well maybe just wake up for a min or too and look around then die.

    something like. gonna die now eh? ahhhh hell no, i don't wanna! but wanted to do this and that...ahhh well gotta go some time. *bump*

    You should replace the word odd with sad


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭-ADREN-


    nah i think thats a cool idea :D

    Me wants that as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,148 ✭✭✭Ronan|Raven


    I wish to be cremated and then have my ashes spread across the turf at Anfield.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭shotamoose


    method of death: murdered by pacifists.
    method of disposal: cremated, ashes mixed in with lots of fireworks, fireworks set off above crowd of teary-eyed loved ones.
    Graham Chapman had this done and I think it's just lovely.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,230 ✭✭✭OLDYELLAR


    i want somebody to make sure i am actually dead before they put the lid on the coffin . i want to be buried but remember what happened to father jack........................ yes i think i have already had my quota of floor polish for this week , or so the little voices in my head tell me . bye bye


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 323 ✭✭Khynareth


    I want to die while flying/sky diving, then leave my body at the bottom of the ocean, for the fish to feed on...

    I want to be buried with my eyes open in an open perhaps glass casket. With born to be wild played as my coffin is carried out.
    After that i dont give a crap as long as i get into heaven


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,155 ✭✭✭ykt0di9url7bc3


    I dont care as long as i die on my feet,

    oh yeah, no quacks, cannibals or wolves on my cadavre pls


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,819 ✭✭✭rymus


    Well I know one thing for sure.. If I die on my bike I want to die instantly... Failing that I want to die whilst perched in between the legs of my woman :D (possibly from a massive heart attack caused by over exertion)

    As for funeral I want to have a nice happy (?) service where its more like a celebration of my life than a mourning of my death.. Ohh and I want to be cremated and hopefully my family will be able to think of something to do with my ashes and not just flush em down the crapper...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,181 ✭✭✭✭Jim


    since ur not supposed to walk on plp's grave, im gonna hold a weekly disco on mine:p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17 voObo0


    I dont give a ****. If i died right now I would not give a ****. I hope the earthworms grow obese.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,275 ✭✭✭Shinji


    That's something I never got, how are some people scared of being put in a coffin and buried, yet fine with being put in a coffin and rolled into a fire?

    It's the whole "waking up underground" thing. Cremation is clean and quick, and your chances of waking up afterwards are poor...

    I want to be shot in bed by a jealous husband, failing that uploaded to a computer, failing that creameted & shot into space.

    Also if I found out that I'll be dead in 24 hours I'd get my rifle & start crossing the ba*tards off my list if you know what I mean


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,621 ✭✭✭GreenHell


    I want someone to do a runner with my body and tell no one about so they'd all be pissed off n stuff. Last great prank n stuff.


    Otherwise I'd like to have a recording going off when i die say "I'm not dead, now bugger off and get me a pint"

    :D
    erm ok a bit weird but i suppose its what you want.

    As for me i aint pushed as long as body is found and every one knows im dead. It would be really bad if no one found your body.
    AS to the reason i die well id like to have scarifised myself.

    also when im dead ye can have body parts but i keep all limbs and eyes. other that that its fair game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    I'm too young to be thinking about stuff like that. Right now, I can just imangine a huge ceremony with 100 gorgeous, unspoiled virgins, crying over my body, and over how they never had a chance to sample some seamus-love :D:D


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 32,286 Mod ✭✭✭✭The_Conductor


    Hmmm- never liked to be tied to a spot, and don't want to be in death either. Either cremate me, and scatter the ashes at sea, on the Ganges or somewhere that will keep those I leave behind semi-happy, or else how about to be frozen up Mount Everest or some other improbable place (there are around 130 failed mountaineers scattered around the summit whose bodies have never been collected). Anyhow, is it just me or is this whole topis a bit morbid?

    Flushed down the toilet with the gold fish.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 651 ✭✭✭Okie


    Jaysus lads, bit morbid innit? But now that I found this thread it reminds me of the conversation that me and a mate had in a pub (Yeah, I know, ****e place to be talking bout death but……)

    He reckoned he didn’t mind HOW he died, but he placed all the emphasis on the funeral. He wanted to be cremated and as the coffin was being pushed into the fire, AC/DC’s “Highway To Hell” was to be blaring from the church speakers! (Either that or The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown’s song “Fire” You know the one…“I am the God of Hell-fire and I bring you…….FIRE”)
    He also wanted a small gathering (as the ashes were to be scattered on a lake) with his brother on musical duties, playing Deep Purple’s “Smoke On The Water” or an older song, not sure by who but it’s called “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” Personally I can’t wait for him to die. :-)

    As for me, not too sure how I would like to go. Prob. as painless as possible (cos I is allergic to pain!) Maybe go out the ironic way. Be having the old conversation. “You could be hit by a bus tomorrow”, then continue to walk out in front of a slow-moving milk-float or better yet an ice-cream van! Yes, I can see the headlines now…”Man flaked by ice-cream van” *Ahem* Sorry!

    The funeral has to be as prolonged as possible just to make all my non-church-going-mates really annoyed at me….one last time J
    Get as many of my favourite songs played…live version…TWICE!! That’ll learn ‘em! Failing that, if when I am being carried outta the church, if I can get the music that’s played at the circus when the clowns come out, I’d be happy!

    Got a few more ideas…but that’s for my SECOND funeral! Ah yes..the old faked death. Gasps from the crowd as I approach the altar at my own “funeral” to tell the crowd about what a bastard I REALLY was!

    Gotta do more thinking bout this one!! :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    The most awful experience I have ever had was when I went to the funeral of a friend of mine and his family. Their bodies had been found some time after death and when they were brought in the caskets to the church the smell of death was intoxicating.

    I want to go in a way that people will remember me as I was alive. But I don't know what that way is...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,825 ✭✭✭Gambler


    HeHe.. I wonder if there is some kinda "Necrophiliacs Annonymous" thingy I could donate my body too :) Taunt them with a look but don't touch sign ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 857 ✭✭✭Corega


    I wanna die in my sweethearts arms:rolleyes: And I would'nt mind being buried or cremated or cryogenically frozen because who gives a flying **** I'll be dead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,306 ✭✭✭NeMiSiS


    200mph in a Dodge Viper off a cliff out of my brains on enough drugs to kill a herd of elephants...then cremated and put in shotgun shells..then a list of every mother****er that ever crossed me given to a hitman and revenge extracted..using the shells im in of course ! Oh and 'yummy yummy yummy i got love in my tummy' played pver and over at the funeral..wan the irish !!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 772 ✭✭✭Chaos-Engine


    No death bed for me...
    As a health eater and non-smoker I am more likly to die a violent death according to stats...

    I'd like to drown personally. Its ment to be uphoric...

    Besides the fact that I am a SCUBA diver and it is highly likely that I could have a diving related fatality. I've already had 2 really bad scares(an air failure at 25m and a rapid accent).

    As for burrial... A funneral fire. Hundi style... Nice big bonfire with me in the middle... then my ashs spread off the west coast in the beauty of the Ocean that took my life. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 895 ✭✭✭imp


    I'd like to die when I'm old by sacrificing myself for someone or failing that by just dying in my sleep. I'd have to get myself entombed in some spooky crypt on the huge estate I'll no doubt have by then.

    But I also want my genes removed so I can be cloned!! Bwahahaha.

    I'm done.

    }:>


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,518 ✭✭✭Kalina


    I haven't thought about it, it really won't affect me will it, so I'd rather spend my time thinking about stuff to do with being alive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 93 ✭✭Defenistrator


    Who dresses you up for yer final decent when ye die? I hope to god it is not yer nearest and dearest....I don't want either my parents or children to see my willy!!!
