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.

I guess if I had to pick, I'd say toss my ashes in the ocean. but really, it doesn't matter.

I'm with Sue. Toss my ash in the ocean.

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.) :lol2:

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! :hair:

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

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. :D :D
