After you die, what do you want?

[Steel]

After hearing of King Mole passing away, I'd like a viking fumeral myself. I dont like the idea of cremation, or burial, because i dont like claustrophobic situations. Here, i can be be cremated, but not in an incinerator, but on an open boat, where my soul can look at the heavens.......yes....

I have no idea what I would want done to my body. Probably not an open casket at the funeral (went to a funeral for my best friend who died in an avalanche, man that was hard standing there and seeing all the bruises and cuts - even with all that makeup you could still see, at least he died doing what he loved)

I would hope that anyone there wouldn't do the "oh he was a great guy" bit. I would hope they would retell storys about the stupid things i have done and relive how much of a fuckwit I have been. Laughter is what I want, I like to make people laugh now (alive) either with me or at me so I would like them to keep on laughing in my death.

I want for people who never even knew me to cry. If that happens, then I lived a good life.

They say "one lives well who lives for something that will outlast himself."

But to answer your question, I don't care what my funeral is like or where my body is laid to rest. All I will request is that ALL MY BODY PARTS STAY WITH ME. I dread the thought of somebody like Mickey Mantle getting my liver and the mortuary people having to stuff my body with balled up newspapers so it looks decent during the open casket ceremony. All because some rich guy who has drank or smoked his life away has taken all the organs I worked so hard to keep healthy. Call me selfish, but it's my choice.

NO ORGAN DONATIONS FROM THIS MAN

i want to die of natural causes, but i'd like to live for a long time! past 100! but seriously i don't want to go at all. i previously posted a thread saying i was too scared of the prospect of knowing that we go sometime but could not see what was ahead, i just see black.

and as for god and all those beliefs, when i'm sorry but i don't believe. there's simply no proof. i believe in evolution. no i'm not the antichrist.

There are one of two ways I want it to go. The first is when they carry the casket out I want them to drop it and my dead body come rolling out and freak everyone out.

The second would be to have a funeral like on BraveHeart.

The ways of death have scared me beyond belief for the longest time but certain situations in my life have forced me to stare death staight in the eyes and smack it..... my mom has been diagnosed with cancer and only has a month to live (it is attacking her brain).. she has expressed to her children (me being the youngest (19) and the only one around her , all the rest live far away) that she wants to be creamated and put with her mother whom died when she was 20.... i personaly think death is the scariest thing on this planet and i dont want to go through it but in recent weeks, my mom has assured me that death is nothing to be affraid of it is something that should be greeted with the utmost love and care and i now know that when my mothers passing happends i will be feeling a calming sence of peace because i know that she is in a better place spending endless days catching up with her mother that she had so little time with,she will also be looking out for me in heaven, i await the day that i can spend calm mornings, afternoons, and nights, with my greatly appreciated and loved mother....... to everyone who has lost someone they care deeply for, live everyday as if they were still there, dont change, because they can still talk to you and you can still talk to them, and if you listen really close you might be able to hear them too

I want to be buried in a family tomb which hopefully I will build before I die, otherwise someone else will have to do it. In this tomb, down the very end, I will be laid upon a stone altar, with my stang behind me. Just in case I come back, I'll need transport.
