:music:Well I ain't afraid of die'n,It's the though of being dead
I wanna go on being me once my eulogys been read
Don't spread my ashes out to sea, don't lay me down to rest
You can put my mind to ease if you fill my last request

Prop me up beside the jukebox when I die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight
Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand
prop me up beside the jukebox when I die

Just make your next selection and while your still iin line
You can pay you last respects one quarter at a time

Prop me up beside the jukebox when I die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight
fill my boots up with sand put a stiff drink in my hand
prop me up beside the jukebox when I die

Oh prop me up beside the jukebox when I die :music:

I want the 1812 Overture to be played at my funeral, and at the end of the piece, my body to be shot out of a cannon. Then Diet Coke and popcorn will be served and people will talk amongst themselves about how much of an arsehole I was.

Stuffed. Dressed seasonably-appropriately (e.g. right now I'd be dressed like Santa or an elf).

Freeze my head/brain so they can ressurect me in the future. Donate the rest for organs for those who need, or science.

Burn in to ashes and then placed into the cheapest can of coffee, spread out over my parents grave if it can be done. If not, I havent really thought of it.

If my descendants decide it'd be funny to have me stuffed and posed in the living room, that's their problem. Odds are pretty good that I'm not going to need my body once I'm dead anyway.

well said! :laugh:

same for me. probably rot in the ground to comply with local laws. but hey, once i'm dead, what do i care?

It's off to the ovens for me. Personally, I'd rather not have some snot nosed med student cutting me up like a steak dinner.

Wasting good real estate on cemetaries isn't my thing either. I'd rather have my wife keep my ashes or throw them off a cliff into the ocean...whatever she feels like doing with them is fine with me. Hell, she could make a loaf of bread out of me for all I care. :laugh:

If I die young, I want to be fired out of a cannon at my inlaws house.

If I die old, I want to be fired out of the torpedo tube of a starship while a Scotty look-a-like plays the bagpipes. Or if we don't have starships and torpedo tubes, just jettisoned into space while Star Trek is playing on a TV nearby is fine.

If I should die before I wake,
All my bone and sinew take
Put me in the compost pile
To decompose me for a while
Worms, water, sun, will have their way,
Returning me to common clay
All that I am will feed the trees
And little fishies in the seas.
When radishes and corn you munch,
You may be having me for lunch
And then excrete me with a grin,
Chortling, "There goes Lee again."
Twill be my happiest destiny
To die and live eternally.

My corpse will be shot into the living room of my greatest enemy at the time.

To those who think cemetaries are a waste of land, oh sure, we have a huge land shortage right now :p

I won't be doing anything with it, but THEY will be doing whatever it is they do with organ donor bodies.
although I doubt my liver will be of use.
