Warning a bit morbid

[Grumpbum123]

Have you given much thought to how you want to be disposed of when you die? This is something I’ve given an awful lot of thought to due to mental health issues.
In an ideal world I’d like a sky burial however that’s never going to happen so I’d like a plain burial with no ceremony or fuss, just chuck me in the ground and forget about me.

DH and I have a plan to be cremated, whichever is left behind keeps the ashes of the other and then once they also die both if our ashes will be put into the same urn and scattered in our peaceful place near where we live.

I want to be made into a diamond encrusted earring.

I want to be cremated and my ashes mixed with my daughters. My DH wants to be buried so I suggested that they bury our ashes with him in the same grave or within the coffin, depending in who goes first.

Alternatively, if I go young and he meets a second wife and changes his mind about us I'm also fine with scattering the ashes.

But my husband's a tight arse so I reckon he'll keep me on top of the telly on a lurpak. Box.

Cremated definitely. I think graves are horrible and the whole ceremony of lowering the coffin into the ground etc is awful, not to mention environmentally bad.

Yes, I have given this some thought, and I don’t think it’s morbid to think these things through and pre plan where necessary.

Unlike you I don’t want to be “ chucked in the ground”. I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered in the same place as both my parents.

Sky burial. Chuck me into the wilderness to be eaten by buzzards and bears.

I like the idea of being buried, and having a tree planted....feeding the tree haha

There are specific instructions in my will that I'm to be cremated and my ashes scattered with those of my horse on the beach nearest us. DH rolled his eyes and said "bye then"

He might need two Insufficient
My mum is still under our telly, she liked the telly though.

Sky burial would be my first choice as well if it were possible. A natural burial with just a shroud, no coffin, would be my attainable preference.

I bought my burial plot nineteen years ago. After the death of my brother in his teens we each bought a plot around his. DF and DM are now buried next to DB and I will be buried in the plot behind him. Weirdly, it was a great investment. It cost £270 and now they're well over a thousand.

I want to be cremated and I've told my family that I do not want a funeral service. They cost thousands and thousands of pounds and jeez, I'm dead, I wont appreciate it. Would much rather they spent that on a holiday. I've told them just to meet up, have a picnic, tell lovely stories of me and then scatter the ashes. No fuss.

I’ve completed the paperwork for my body to be donated to science, if it’s not possible for whatever reason I want to be cremated, no funeral. I would prefer for my loved ones to do their own thing to remember me by.

Please make a choice for yourself, it’s easier for loved ones x

Natural burial for me.

If you look up ask a mortician on YouTube, she is very informative and makes everything easier to understand and deal with.

Planning how you would like to be disposed of isnt remotely morbid. Just good sense

Donate to science if they want it

if not what ever's cheapest - its just waste material at that point

Not really sure why it's not available in the UK ? After all open cremations are

If the OP wants to campaign for sky burials, I'd sign a petition or two. Might be worth contacting some celebs ? I know Professor Alice Roberts commented she'd like a crouch burial (which is neolithic through to Anglo Saxon, depending on the area and time ...)

I want a natural burial I think. My godmother was buried in a wicker coffin.

What’s a sky burial? When I first read it I imagined getting chucked out of a plane!!
I think cremation for me - I don’t think there will be a lot of grave plots left by the time I’m (hopefully) old when I go.

I don't want enough of me left to have to do anything.

Donate organs, skin, bone - they transplant hands, faces, all sorts nowadays... they can have the bloomin' lot for spare parts...

I’d like to be cremated, with no funeral and then have my ashes put into fireworks and set off over the sea, whilst my nearest and dearest eat toffee apples and drink lots of wine and remind each other of all the silly things I did when I was alive

Cremation. I quite fancy the idea of the ashes being loaded into a big rocket and shot out to sea.
