When You Die How, Do You Want Things Simple or Would You Like This... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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.

Wow! Those headstones look amazing!

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.

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.

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.

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

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....

Personally, I'm intrigued with Cryogenics.
