Harvest whatever organs haven't been utterly used up, burn the rest, and toss the ashes into the sea, the waste bin, or whatever. I'll be done driving this vehicle and won't be needing it anymore. |

Makes me think of a John Prine tune from Sweet Revenge: Woke up this morning Put on my slippers Walked in the kitchen and died And oh what a feeling! When my soul Went thru the ceiling And on up into heaven I did ride When I got there they did say John, it happened this way You slipped upon the floor And hit your head And all the angels say Just before you passed away These were the very last words That you said: Chorus: Please don't bury me Down in that cold cold ground No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up And pass me all around Throw my brain in a hurricane And the blind can have my eyes And the deaf can take both of my ears If they don't mind the size Give my stomach to Milwaukee If they run out of beer Put my socks in a cedar box Just get "em" out of here Venus de Milo can have my arms Look out! I've got your nose Sell my heart to the junkman And give my love to Rose Give my feet to the footloose Careless, fancy free Give my knees to the needy Don't pull that stuff on me Hand me down my walking cane It's a sin to tell a lie Send my mouth way down south And kiss my ass goodbye |

I've posted this a few times now, but when I go, and if feasible for my family, I'm being delivered to the Dept of Pathology at our local university. For anatomy classes, hopefully but for whatever they deem suitable. Hubby jokes there could be multiple viewings in multiple rooms, in the same school we learned about these things. I'm serious about it. There's a program and information available here for it. I remain so grateful learning of anatomy, pathology and physiology in university. What I learned I used caring for patients as a nurse, teaching nurses, med students, RTs & others. If I'm not in good enough shape to be used as a specimen, cremation will do. There will be no funeral or obituary either. |

I am much more worried about actually dying. After that someone else can take care of it. |

I think the only reason I'd express my wishes is to save survivors from a fight. (Here I am pretending two people will give a crap, let alone notice that I've died.)

Actually, when I die, I want to be Keith Richards. That dude died in 1973, and just keeps on going and going and doing... Like a scary, wrinkled, burned-out, coke-addled, father's-ashes-snorting, zombie-lookin' Energizer Bunny!

I thought you'd want to be stuffed and mounted... not necessarily in that order.

Hell, I'll be so pumped I'll be flamable. Screw these preacher & hamstring curls. I'll be totally ripped in death! The Devil Himself [size=1]TM[/size] will be impressed.
