How do u wanna go?

po0k · 13-02-2004 03:23AM

Hopefully have the family end of things sorted (Life Assurance, mortage paid off/nearly paid off), retire around 55 so I have at least a few years to knock about the house, do some interesting activites/hobbies etc., spend time with the family and the wife and play with that tank on my wishlist.
Don't intend to pop my clogs till I'm at least past 65 if i can help it, but don't intend to live past mid-80s.
As for the way(s) I would like to go out, I'd definately like to out with a bit of a bang. Kinda like the last scene in Dr. Strangelove. Hopefully doing something fun and exciting (skydiving, flying, mass orgy).
As for my remains, I'd be happy with a funeral.
Burial would be acceptable, family grave type thing maybe, with space for the wife and whatever children wish to jump in later. They'd all be welcome.
Cremation would be fine too, though I'd request my ashes to be popped into a crop-duster and spread over the Corrib (south-end).

Either that or dumped into a capsule and sent into the Sun.

Donate all my organs, etc for transplants or Donate my body to medical science, then cremate what is left. I like Minesajackdaniels' egg-timer idea...

Cast in bronze and set on top of liberity hall - don't think I'll be allowed though.

I'd like to die slowly. Not just hit by a bus all of a sudden. I want to be able to say goodbye to people, and to prepare to die. Dying suddenly is too shocking for the people left behind.

And I'd like to be buried and give something back to the earth. (Although, I wouldn't mind dying in the Arctic or up a mountain and become frozen in ice. And then 1000 years later, my body is discovered by archaeologists and examined and they all wonder what my life must have been like.)

Still contemplating whether to donate organs or not.

Die: after having my nuts bit off by a laplander
Burial: Leaving my body to science (i.e. some college or other), so no burial required.

they will be of no use to you once you're gone and you may save someone else's life, surely that's worth something?

How do you go about leaving your body to medical science or obtaining an organ donor card?

(Think I'll sell my stem cells to Taiwanese cloning researchers while I'm at it. Or put a kidney up for auction on Ebay!

)

you can get a card in any chemist, just carry it round with you,
also, the card requires another person to sign it, in the event of your death they are a witness that it's what you want.

Ahh I see, it's much simpler than I expected. thx Beruthiel

Agent Smith · 13-02-2004 07:41PM

Hmmm, i want to be cremated, and have a live band playing funeral music, but just as the flames begin to lick at my body they start to play "another one bights the dust"

I've posted this 3 times now, i think there may be something wrong with me

vibe666 · 13-02-2004 10:51PM

aerosmith's stephen tyler said in an interview once that he'd like to be [sic] 'cremated and scattered on miami beach so that even after his death he'd still be getting into girls pants.' always thought it was a great quote, but personally I've always fancied the skydiving thing, and just not opening the chute. althought from what i hear, the hardest thing to be hitting at 120 miles an hour is water because it doesn't absorb any of the impact and the full force of the impact is taken by your body. quite likely to scatter you over a wide area in tiny little bits for the fishes to munch on. would suit me.

having said that, i've got a doner card, so it's quite likely there won't be too much of me left for the jump, so anything useful would be donated, then the rest cremated. i don't want medical students playing with my corpse cos i've heard some very dodgy stories about the pranks they play.

Paddy20 · 13-02-2004 11:21PM

Some years ago. I signed over my cadaver to Medical Science at St James Hospital in Dublin. I would like to think that medical students, and medical science could make some use of my human remains after I have departed from this world.

Anyway, I always hated funerals.

DerekD Goldfish · 14-02-2004 01:03AM

I want to be creamated while some copletly irrelevant music plays someting like suptans of ping where me jumper, Unckle fuc#er from south park, Therapy maet abstract or dead kennadys too drunk to fu#k
or i could make sure their really depressed by having the smiths I know its over playing

embee · 14-02-2004 01:20AM

I would like to die when I am old and have hopefully had a happy and full life and have had the opportunity to do everything I had ever dreamed of in my lifetime.

As regards to disposal, I would like first of all to donate my organs, and then I would like to be cremated. Where the ashes would be scattered.... I have a few places in mind.

This is very morbid at 15, but i would like to be burried in the graveyard beside my current school so i could in away look over it. The graveyard is a nice spot so i suppose its as good a place s any to be burried. as for going something painless, i like the idea of jumping but if there is an afterlife suicide is frowned upon by the church

Creature · 14-02-2004 03:08PM

Either one of two things:

I'd like my mind to be transfered into a 17ft high steel automaton that can emit seismic shockwaves through the feet and spew red hot lava through the mouth.

or

I'd like to be buried in a shallow dirt grave so that when the dead come back to life as zombies I can be one of the first out.

In all seriousness though, I'll just donate my body/organs to science. Won't need 'em when I'm dead.

ykt0di9url7bc3 · 14-02-2004 04:46PM

If I Die*, I'll die on my feet and I'll see it coming and smile...

As for my body if some remeberance is required, seal me up good and tight and bury me in the clump of trees in the 'forty acres' field on my uncles farm

I plan to live forever, i'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming from this world

mr_angry · 14-02-2004 04:47PM

Spontaneous combustion. I reckon I'd make the papers!

monk · 18-02-2004 09:08PM

i'd like to go just as my ex walks in the door to catch me and all of the playboy bunnies for 2003 involved in a huge orgy

just to see the look on her face

as regards disposal
wrap me in a white sheet and burn me on top of a pile of wood as for the ashes just let the rain wash me away

Giblet · 18-02-2004 09:15PM

I wanna die playing a gig in front of 100,000 people, while getting head and smoking a cigar.

as far as my mother has lead me to belive, i was dragged into this world kicking and screaming

Senor_Fudge · 19-02-2004 04:50AM

yes yes i like the idea of getting head while smoking but instead it'd be a big fat mother of a joint loaded with hydro skunk weed

Macseamusa · 19-02-2004 01:11PM

wudnt mind going out in a Leon kinda way, that or a lame ass drive ur car off a cliff way

Dathai · 19-02-2004 03:21PM

When its my time I want to go out punching death in the face at least I know I put up a fight.I also wanna be cremated it seems better than rotting and getting eaten by maggots.
