1. We've been planning that party for decades.

Just kidding!

[ohiosmith]

2. Bwahahahaha!

[In_The_Wind]

3. Send me an invitation ...

I'll come back from the grave for this one.

[ZombieHorde]

4. Ha! nt

[Duer 157099]

5. No kidding!

Come dance and stomp around all you want, hell, it may even wake me up!

Just watch out I don't grab your ankle...

[ohiosmith]

6. Hahahahaha!

[Buffalo Bull]

7. eternity with the(grateful) dead.....

a dear friend passed on 1\13\00

Before he was lowered to his rest his brother put head phones on him.
'Blues for Allah' eased his passing

[ohiosmith]

8. Very cool!

Welcome to DU!

[Buffalo Bull]

17. what music would you like to be buried to?....

If it were today, Derrick Trucks Band @University of Buffalo 11.2.08
May i wear out several candidates top side, before the final selection.
thanks for the welcome

[ohiosmith]

18. I'll be cremated,......but if I were to be buried I'd want this as I was lowered:

&feature=youtube_gdata_player
If it doesn't get them off their asses and on their feet,....nothing will!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

9. I have never cared for unruly crowds...

thus my living will calls for,....cremation!

[pipi_k]

10. Well...

if your ashes get scattered, you can have a whole flashmob on your grave!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

11. A flashmob of fishes! How enchanting....

even the occasional shark would be welcomed!

[Doc_Technical]

13. My last request

as they're dumping my ashes off the fantail, is
for them to play this song:

[Sekhmets Daughter]

16. Oo-ee, oo-ee baby!

How perfect! I love it!

[pipi_k]

20. For a nominal fee...

You can even have a band!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

26. What a great idea!

[Moondog]

19. I think Hunter Thompson had the right idea.

Had his ashes loaded into some cannon charges (maybe some fireworks too, I forget), had a big wake, and set 'em off.

Of course, I also think of that ash-scattering scene from "The Big Lebowski" - these things can go wrong very quickly.

[pipi_k]

22. I think

I would like to be made into a diamond

[Moondog]

24. I actually looked into that a while back.

You can do all of those things - the diamond doesn't require that much material, so you can do that and scatter some around, send a bit into space (still a bit spendy), and have still some scattered at sea by flushing down the commode or whatever.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

25. Too public for my tastes!

Actually I'd be happy with the old Viking tradition...but I don't think the Coast Guard would care for it!

So an urn made of salt works best...just drop it into the big blue... and it begins to dissolve as it sinks.

There is nothing we won't discuss on du!

[Moondog]

29. I like the Viking approach myself.

It sure beats having my stiff kicked over the side with the noon garbage. With or without a chorus of "Nearer My God to Thee". And once the thing is ablaze, all the USCG is going to do is to make sure it doesn't pose a hazard to navigation until that sucker sinks. If it is in deep enough water, they will treat it with benign neglect. Until it becomes a trend. But I'll be dead by then . . . .

Read something a while back that a local company was taking cremains and using them in a casting of large concrete spheres, with a lot of holes in the spheres, and then sinking these things. In numbers, they would make a small reef. Singly, in warm waters, like around much of FL, various forms of marine life grow in / on them, form a habitat, etc. Should last a few centuries, anyway, ignoring the rise and fall of ocean levels. Struck me as pretty cool. I'm a water sign, so I guess it just sort of resonates, you know?

[Sekhmets Daughter]

30. I'm a water sign as well!

I can think of nothing worse that being encased in steel, then concrete and placed under a ton or so of dirt. I would imagine I'd feel the same if I were an air sign...

Now that would be interesting, contributing to the marine environment. Do you remember where you read about it?

[Moondog]

31. Pretty sure it was a newspaper article

in the Sarasota bird cage liner. I think I saved something about it somewhere. But I've moved twice since then, once quite recently, and it might take me a bit of time to locate it. If I locate it reasonably soon I'll put it up, or send it along.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

32. That would be wonderful!

There is no rush...I have no plans for an immediate shuffling off of this mortal coil!

14. Hahahahaha!

[In_The_Wind]

[Sekhmets Daughter]

42. Good morning!

[In_The_Wind]

43. It is a very good morning!

How are you today?

[Sekhmets Daughter]

44. I am Wonderful! Marvelous!

So, a very good morning...excellent!

[In_The_Wind]

45. I need to download my camera.

The new crocus bulbs are up. Finally.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

46. Beautiful! I have always loved this song....

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.

[olddots]

12. we should all dance on each other's graves starting now

[ohiosmith]

15. Absolutely!

[MiddleFingerMom]

21. How ironic and poignant did THIS turn out to be?

[ohiosmith]

23. Indeed! I remember that from its first airing.

Hope you're feeling well MFM!

[MiddleFingerMom]

27. I also saw it both before & after. MUCH different impact from the latter. And he was the FIRST to go

[ohiosmith]

28. Yep! What a waste!

[OriginalGeek]

33. OK, I'm in - but for mine I insist

that it be a mosh pit to DRI

On one of the close-ups I can see the back of a balding head that could very well be me. I was up against the railing in front of the stage for this show.

[ohiosmith]

34. Absolutely!

[Bucky]

35. If someone ever danced on my grave, I think I'd quit talking to them.

[ohiosmith]

36. Dig it!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

37. Perhaps they would view their dancing as an exorcism?!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

38. when I die, I hope a big ass crow swoops down and plucks out my eyes

and flies high over the land so that I can see the whole wide world.

[ohiosmith]

39. Very cool TA!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

47. next pass around I will see all y'all dancing. hope the crow don't shout and spit my eyeballs out

on the bunch of ya.

[ohiosmith]

48. Hahahaha! Better eye balls than,......well you know!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

49. yeah, could be worse. always.

here's looking at you, kid

[lunatica]

50. Well if that's what you want

[ohiosmith]

51. Hey! Those are cool!

[lunatica]

52. It could turn into a great party!

[ohiosmith]

53. Outstanding!
