Do you want to be put in a casket? Do you want people to sing songs about you? Who gets all your cool stuff?
I want a public funeral, and I want it to be open casket, even if I die in a terrible accident and I'm practically unrecognizable and mangled. Well, maybe not. I just want everyone to feel free to come and "talk" to me, hopefully the thing is after death, you get to hear what people have to say about you. I would want my sheep collection to be spread amongst the people I love the most. Everyone would have a sheep. If I didn't have a sheep for everyone, they could buy a toy sheep in memory of me if they wanted. The people who truly loved me would have a sheep to commemorate me. I want to make a big impression on people.

After I die, I would hope that my friends and family would want to have a memorial service of some sort for me. I would NOT want an open casket however. I think they're horrible, and want people to remember me alive, not as a corpse. I hope everyone at my service tells funny stories about my life. Laughing and happiness are a celebration of life.

I think I want to be cremated. It would be alot cheaper and easier on my family.

I want them to harvest my body for any organs that someone else might be able to use, even my skin. Then they can put me in a cardboard and cremate me. They can pass me out for fertilizer if they want, or scatter me in the woods then have a big party in celebration of the joy I got out of life. No tombstone, no memorial. In fact, I'd like to leave enough money so that everyone who loves me can have a little diamond made from my ashes and set into a nice ring or something if they would like that. But I want to go back to the earth and do some good for the living.

well, i don't know the specific details, but it's taught in our religion that life here on earth is superseded by life after it.

I would like a memorial service, nothing formal, just some music and people talking. I guess if I die before my husband, it will be up to him if he wants my casket open or closed. I do not really care one way or another.
I want people not to be sad, but to share some happy memories. I guess that I will be in a better place, and I hope there are not a lot of tears.

I've told my family that the day I die, I want them to have a party, and put picture of me with Glenn Miller, oldies, some Pasty Cline music. I don't want anyone to cry, I want them to joke around, and make fun o me. I don't want to be buried, i want to be cremadie (not sure of the spelling) and spread my ashes somewhere nice.

After I die, gee if I can see myself after that it be interesting.
I like to be my kids angel. Yes, I want to be there for them and watch them grow old. I want to be see that they are good and safe from harms way.
You can tell that my kids are still young, so I always worry about them if I ever die from an accident or illness.
