View Full Version : When You Die How, Do You Want Things Simple or Would You Like This...
Ireneparalegal 12-03-2005, 03:33 PM On another thread it was mentioned abt a celebrities headstone which seemed elaborate. There are many pics on the net that made that headstone look like nothing. These are just two of them. It made me wonder, how do you want things when you die? Simple, elaborate, a celebration, cremation...what are your wishes? Mine are to be buried with a simple headstone and hopefully alot of laughing memories instead of people crying. btw these pics are of Karen Carpenter and Bette Davis' final resting place
I added the pic of Bruce Lee and his son Brandon Lee's graves. I took this pic when I went to Seattle last April.
Karen* 12-03-2005, 03:35 PM Wow! Those headstones look amazing! :eek: For me though, I'd just want things to be simple and I also do want people to remember me with a smile. I don't want too many tears at my funeral.
Janice 12-03-2005, 03:39 PM I'm being cremated. No headstones, no fanfare. Just a memorial held for friends and family.
Jonathan 12-03-2005, 03:40 PM Something simple, not a party or anything.
rusyd 12-03-2005, 09:08 PM I would like a wake and funeral and then to be creamated.
Dr. Thong 12-03-2005, 09:47 PM To be honest, when I'm dead, I don't think I'll care.
Cremate me and toss the ashes over Wal-Mart.

Makes sense. After all, it's not like you're going to be there, right???;)
P.S.: Just kidding!
The Chauffeur 12-03-2005, 10:14 PM I personally don't care, all i ask is that there not be a viewing. I just don't like the last thought of me being in a casket. I think it's easier to remember a person the way they were in life when you never see them as a corpse, to put it bluntly.

That is very true. I don't like viewings either.
As for me, I don't care because I'll be dead. :)

Same here.
Hollow 12-04-2005, 12:26 AM good and ironic thread, i've been seriously thinking about dying and suicide and my funeral and **** for the past day or so. i'm such a miserable bitch. i'd like to die tragically but not too painfully at a fairly young age, and i want everyone i hate to feel guilty as hell. i want to be buried with something precious to me, preferably something like sheet music. i want my funeral to be effing awesome with kick ass music played (to put it more sentimentally, music that i loved) and i want my grave site to look cool too, maybe an engraved metallica logo or picture of :grr: or something on the head stone. meh, i'm such a ****ing teenager.
ABlairican Pie 12-04-2005, 01:04 AM I would like to buried in a KISS coffin, like Dimebag Darrell.
A cool 7-foot hood ornament of a cool, sexy nekkid chick is gonna look hot as well, I'm still thinking of who should pose for it.... :idea:

Living In a '70's Dream 12-04-2005, 02:29 AM I just want my ashes to be dumped into the pacific ocean (off Torrey Pines State Park) an area where I grew up...
MsOrange 12-04-2005, 02:29 AM i'm throwing the most ****in' awesome party when i'm dead... be there.. and bring chips.

Moonlight Lady 12-04-2005, 02:08 PM Cremation and then a small party for close friends and family only.
¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 12-04-2005, 08:36 PM I went to a wake on Friday with my mother and we had a conversation like this :lol:. Anyways, I want to be buried- not cremated. Something about turning into ashes.. ehh I dunno I just dont like it. I want my wake/funeral to be a 'party'. I want all my favorite songs played and I want the person who does my eulogy to be making jokes etc. I want people laughing and having a good time. Im not saying people shouldnt be upset by my death lol, but I want people to loosen up about it and have a good time.
KristinHerreraFan 12-04-2005, 08:40 PM I want people to remember me for who I was and accept the fact that I died lol
dawsongirl 12-04-2005, 09:58 PM I want a huge crypt, so when people go by it 50-100 years from then, they'll think I was someone important even though I wasn't important in the least. And I want something spooky-looking inside, so when stupid teenagers come in the middle of the night to do whatever, they'll look inside and be scared ****less.
And absolutely nothing religious.

You are important, Cathy. :)
Nighthawk76 12-04-2005, 10:48 PM I plan to live forever, so none of this applys to me.:lol: ;)
Max Whittaker 12-04-2005, 10:59 PM I plan to live forever, so none of this applys to me.:lol: ;)
You are so full of yourself! :mad:
We all know full well that I'm the only one capable of living forever! As such, I wish to be cremated, so as my ashes will regenerate in front of my mourners, and I will be recognized as the true miracle that I am! :lol:

dawsongirl 12-04-2005, 11:06 PM You are important, Cathy. :)
By important, I meant like, a rich person who everyone in town knew sort of thing. I took a cemetary tour a couple months ago, and all the important people around here in the mid-late 1800s have these huge crypts or headstones. I want to look like more than I was so people will make up their own stories. :crazy:
Fleet 12-04-2005, 11:08 PM I'll bring weed!!!
I'll bring the police. ;)

You are only 26. You never know, someday you might end up really rich.:)
Fleet 12-04-2005, 11:13 PM As many have said, only something simple for me. I'll be on the other side living it up, so it doesn't matter.
However, I would like to be buried at the "Hallowed Haunting Grounds."
robyrob 12-05-2005, 12:31 AM i wish to be pureed and put into a large Thermos container and left in the fridge at work.
Dutabi84 12-05-2005, 12:36 AM Funerals are expensive, just heave my corpse into the mighty Mississippi.

your post reminds me of what happened to George Harrison's body. He was cremated and his ashes were thrown in the Ganges river....YUCK...THAT RIVER IS SOOOOO POLLUTED with rotting corpses, filth, feces, animal carcasses and body fluids, the people in and around that area bathe in that water daily...OMG!!!!! so disgusting.:eek:
