Kata Dakini An Eye For An Eye Rule of Three	Posted - 2008.01.22 23:02:00 - [1] A fun topic that come up at work today. It's simple, how do you want your funeral to be? How do you want to be disposed of? I decided some time ago after reading something about a certain Native American ritual (no idea where I read it, maybe it was in the movie Black Robe?) that I want to have my body wrapped in palm fronds and burned in some remote place here in Colorado. People always talk about cremation, and where they want their ashes spread, but this is backwards thinking to me. Why should I care about the ashes? They're just the spent material of your body, there is no 'soul' in there. The 'soul' is in the smoke. I only care where the smoke is released. There should be a big party. Everyone should have fun (hopefully I die in Summer) and have a few beers in my honor. I would like a selection of songs to be played: Tom Waits - "Grapefruit Moon" Steve Earl - "The Gringo's Tale" Snapcase - "New Kata" (inspiration for character name) The Transplants - "Down in Oakland" Refused - "Tannhauser/Derive" Mogwai - "You Don't Know Jesus" The Misfits - "Attitude" Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - "Silver and Gold" Fugazi - "Last Chance for a Slow Dance" Allman Brothers - "Midnight Rider" (can't leave that out) Elliot Smith - "Pretty (Ugly Before)" Creedence Clearwater Rev. - "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" The Doors - "When the Music's Over" Yeah, that's my soundtrack, only a couple songs would need to be censored from fragile ears. For more enjoyment and greater efficiency, consumption is being standardized.
Micheal Dietrich Caldari The Delta Source Dread Sovereign	Posted - 2008.01.22 23:08:00 - [2] Well it won't be a funeral, it'll be a party. In my will people must have fun and asing and dance or they get nothing. In the meantime I'll be stuffed and proped up against the jukebox with a grin on my face and me giving 2 thumbs up. There will be loud music, nachos, steaks and hotdogs, and a lot of beer as I'm sure a few will find this disturbing. Afterwards I'll be driven in the back of a cadillac with it's top down to the ocean where I'll be placed in a flaotable casket. I'll be hauled out into the ocean will relatives can then take shots at me and they'll be keeping score of how many shots it takes to sink my casket. Luckily I'll have left my DNA and brain to science so they can clone me later on and I can watch the event myself as it will be filmed.

Gladiator Jonny Omniscient Order Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2008.01.22 23:10:00 - [4] Im 17 so, havent thought into it much. Songs: return - Bye bye jonny Guns n roses - Too many to name actually... ill list these later i want my death to be one hell of a party I dont want to be buried, it always annoys me how much room is taken up by dead people when it could be used for things to help others, or beauty etc. If im buried, i want no coffin. If im cremated i dont care what happens, im dead afterall The advert where the ashes are turned into a diamond tho, thats pritty sweet
Tarminic Forsaken Resistance The Last Stand	Posted - 2008.01.22 23:15:00 - [5] Having a normal burial seems kind of dumb to me - why make my poor wife or relatives shell out ten grand to have some guy stuff me with cotton and embalming fluid and shove me in a hole somewhere? I'm fine being cremated, and having my ashes scattered somewhere. I want the occasion not to be mourning my death, but a celebration of life! I don't really know of many ways to make people happy at a funeral but I want people to be as happy as possible. ---------------- Tarminic - 31 Million SP in Forum Warfare Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.78.2
Istvaan Shogaatsu Guiding Hand Social Club	Posted - 2008.01.22 23:45:00 - [6] I wish to be cremated. Then, my ashes are to be mixed with arsenic. Then, they are to be sprinkled on as many delicious pizzas as the volume of ashes and arsenic permits. Then, the pizzas are to be fed to children.
Oventoasted Caldari Founder's of the Dominion The Dominion Empire	Posted - 2008.01.22 23:52:00 - [7] Originally by: Gladiator Jonny Im 17 so, havent thought into it much. nonsense! its never to soon to be thinking of your own demise! you could be hit by a truck while playing EVE right now. while you are dieing you'll think "dang i should have thought about how i wanted to die...". to late! i myself have planned how my cadaver will be handled after the life juices stop pumping. i will be mummified in the ancient Egyptian fashion. by then with modern construction technology my tomb will be complete. where ill be buried with all my worldly possessions (computer, golden statues, pets, friends).
Isiskhan Gnostic Misanthropy	Posted - 2008.01.22 23:57:00 - [8] I've decided this whole growing old and then dying business is a bit silly, really, I'm opting for immortality instead. Once I iron out a little technicality currently hindering my plan, that is.
Vikarion Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2008.01.23 00:06:00 - [9] If I can't swing the immortality thing, I'm gonna see if I can get my ashes stuck in a nuclear reactor for a good amount of time, or something similar. Being glowing hot for ten thousand years is a legacy...maybe not a good legacy, but definitely a lasting and memorable one. -------- I use CrumpleCorn(tm) Sigs, because they (and he) are awesome!
Suze'Rain Caldari	Posted - 2008.01.23 00:14:00 - [10] well, I rather approve of a friend's stipulations for his death: a large and generously stocked party is to be held. all friends and associates are invited. all attendees who do not have medical reasons are to get utterly wasted. If any member leaves while sober, his entire inheritance goes to a cat sanctuary. Me? for along time i considered the dwarves with drugs on silver platters, strippers and loud music party a good way out, but instead, as I get older, I'm thinking that my funeral should be held 15 mins late ( just like the rest of my life) and be a slightly more sedate party. Ideally, I hope I can have people celebrate who I was, and cause scandal when all the really dodgy bits get into public gossip.
Sister Impotentata Elite Angels Of Death	Posted - 2008.01.23 00:55:00 - [11] I most vehemently do not wish to be cremated. I want to be buried in a light pine box among the roots of a great oak. I want all my complex molecules and essences to mingle with the earth, and become part of the birds and the bees and the wind and the trees. There is where my soul is, and that is how I would live on. Such would satisfy my inner druid. ----- TANSTAAFL Originally by: Professor Falken What you see here on these screens is a fantasy, a computer-enhanced hallucination!

Shameless Avenger	Posted - 2008.01.23 01:37:00 - [12] Edited by: Shameless Avenger on 23/01/2008 01:37:50 Burn it! And get rid of the ashes. This is mostly because I don't want my kids visiting my grave and talking to my tombstone like if I was still alive. I'm gonna be freaking dead, gone... as in 'not there'. Cremate the body to avoid the grave. And please don't keep the ashes in a jar... that would defeat the purpose of the cremation. As per where to get rid of the ashes, I don't r really care. Nothing *** like spreading them on the beach at sunset. Better modify a few fireworks and blow them of at freaking 4 of July.
Avery Fatwallet	Posted - 2008.01.23 01:48:00 - [13] id like to lie somewhere outdoors, maybe a nice lil forest, where i can rot in peace. i think jim morrison sang "i want the snakes to suck my skin, i want the worms to be my friends" thats pretty much it. and once they find out im dead they can play this song. i wouldnt mind if they had an orgy in my loving memory.

Freezedried and used as fertilizer after being stripped of usable organs. None of that for corporate research though, those vultures would have to pay me up front.

Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2008.01.23 02:22:00 - [15] I really don't care what happends to my body Either donate to some medical university, or cremate. But I guess the family would want a "regular" burial, so let them do as they want. Burials are for the family, not for the deceased anyway. 1\|2\|3\|4\|5.
Troye Gallente Strix Armaments and Defence	Posted - 2008.01.23 02:24:00 - [16] I'd hope some one finds a use for all my vital organs, this body's smoke and mostly alcohol free, to let it burn would be a waste! _______________________________________ "Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics...Even if you win, you're still ******.

I really dont care what happens after im dead since im like, you know, dead.

Mallikan Gallente Genesis Nation	Posted - 2008.01.23 06:02:00 - [25] Mmmmmm.. none of that stupid crying over an open casket stuff. I'd rather be cremated and put in a tall metal can with the print reading.. "STFU" Or my ashes taken to Germany where they belong. (No, no, no. No, no. No. If you're thinking that's an off-color joke you're wrong.) --- lol.. I messed up.
Gikanzin Minmatar Founder's of the Dominion The Dominion Empire	Posted - 2008.01.23 06:23:00 - [26] Don't really care about my body after death, the only thing I would like is for those who actually attended the funeral to at least let one genuine tear fall from the side of their cheek, with left or right doesn't matter. But if I had a wish I would like Jessica Alba to give me one last ride before I depart to whatever comes to after death.

pwnedgato	Posted - 2008.01.23 06:44:00 - [28] I'd want my skin removed from my body and placed onto a custom Honda Asimo robot then I'd want that robot to be used as a waiter in either a very very fancy restaraunt or something. Originally by: Crumplecorn These is a forum for this.
Multras Caldari D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.01.23 07:20:00 - [29] I will be cremated and Mindless Self Indulgences "Panty Shot" and "Capitol P" will be played at my funeral. Thanks to EVE Art Store for the sig.
defiler Mad Hermit	Posted - 2008.01.23 07:51:00 - [30] If I too should fail at the immortality thing I don't want a funeral and I don't want my body disposed of by simple cremation or burial. Instead I'm going to let weird people have their wicked way with my remains in the name of science (if they'll have me). I won't need this body anymore but if it can still be of use, great. My skull is to be cleaned and put on a pedestal for all to admire at the thank-god-that-silly-bugger-finally-snuffed-it party. Once that's over with the skull should be given to my family or someone else that means a lot to me (and can take a joke) on the condition that they won't use me for Hamlet impressions. Using me for twisted jokes is encouraged though. Alternatively, if I should start a successful business my skull is to be kept on display in the office. Go against my will and for your own sake you'd better be an atheist, because I'll be there in your afterlife, waiting... I guess this is the sort of thing you have to write down, because one's family probably can't be trusted to go through with it. You're probably suspecting I won't go through with it either, and you could be right. Still, one can dream. Mad Hermit corporation Minding our own business since 2004
