Plans For Your Body When You Die?

    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?

    Have my body eaten whole by Mary Harney.

    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.

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

    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?

    Put on strings so at my funeral I can can be puppeteered out of my coffin to perform a small musical dance number

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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭Temptamperu


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,647 ✭✭✭✭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?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,462 ✭✭✭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 :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,968 ✭✭✭✭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!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,828 ✭✭✭Reamer Fanny


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 937 ✭✭✭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:

    Good idea.

    I want my body floated up the ganges.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭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:)
