where do you want to be buried?

[zoomerang II]

This may sound like a strange question at first...

But I have been travelling for 5 years all over the place and I was talking to my flatmate a few weeks ao and saying I didn't really know where I wanted to end up (location wise) in life...and he said...well where do you want to be buried? In fairness he is irish and has an girlfiend who lives overseas, and it plays on his mind. Just curious.

Not a bad way of working out where you want to end up in life I suppose.

Actually I just want to be laid on my bed...I mean laid as in left there, not as in have sex...

I would like to be cremated and have my ashes spread out over the field in Dome Of The Americas (formerly, Transworld Dome) during a game in which the St Louis Rams are soundly defeating the San Francisco 49ers. They could hold my funeral at half time, and donate the game ball to my family!

Mad1 you can have james nesbitt and i'll take helen paxendale.

Btw i want to have my ashes laid over mount bogong, in the victorian high country.

If I died right now, my hometown.

However, who knows where I may move once I am married? Perhaps I will become so settled there that I will want to be buried there.

I want to be taken out a few hundred yards into the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Walton County, Florida, and thrown overboard. Not cremated, just thrown over in whole. Yes, I may wash ashore at a later date, but I really enjoy those coastal waters and that is where I wish to rest.

This is absolutely the weirdest thing I have ever seen posted here.

In a pet cemetary.

Hernando DeSoto was thrown about in the Mighty Mississippi River!! I just don't like freshwater, that is the problem.

[theSoulfulMofo]

I want to be cremated and my ashes fall from a shooting rocket into the Pacific Ocean... and hopefully, no memorial or living trace left to my existence...

--- and yes... i'm feeling very morbid these days > : )

With any luck I'll be dead once they decide what to do with my remains, so I really don't care. I guess it comes from having spent the last few years in a country completely obsessed with death.

I also don't care what kind of music they play at the service, or if they just throw me on a dung heap.

Bet I'm the only one here who feels that way.

My 19th century family cemetary. I've wanted to be buried there since I was eight, and it still attracts me.

Either that, or I want to be buried on top of a hill with a gigantic weeping willow. Then I want a creepy neo-classical marble angel statue next to my grave site. I am a sucker for composition and drama.

I am quite old-fashioned at heart, really, and could never imagine being cremated. I'm only thinking from my own standpoint here, but if someone I had loved died, I'd at least want to be able to visit their grave. So, likewise, I would do the same for those who might care if I die someday.

And even though most of them had gone under, their ignorance had confused Roy, making him wonder whether the things he had striven to learn, and thought of as 'culture,' were irrelevant. Everything was supposed to be the same: commercials, Beethoven's late quartets, pop records, shopfronts, Freud, multi-coloured hair. Greatness, comparison, value, depth: gone, gone, gone. Anything could give some pleasure; he saw that. But not everything provided the sustenance of a deeper understanding." - Hanif Kureishi, Love in a Blue Time
