Getting Cremated? What do you want done with your Ashes?

I am not planning on cremation BUT if I were to be cremated I would want some of my ashes sprinkled over my grandma's and parents graves. Some sprinkled over mountains. I would also ask my kids and hubby to keep a small amount for each in a pendant. Alternately I would ask that they have my ashes made into 'diamonds' so my kids could wear me as jewelry.

I don't know how to start this :) You know,of course,that I left behind my home and moved 700 km away,in the name of love :)) Well:back home,where my parents and my ancestor's graves are,there is a place which I cherish most of all:I often found my inner peace there. That place in on my parent's land: on a hill,there is a headspring.Near that headspring there is a small valley.On the other side of that valley is a beautiful forrest.It's a quiet,peaceful and more beautiful in its own solitary than any words can describe.I forgot to mention about wildroses.They grow all around that headspring! That's the only place I would like my ashes to be.I don't care if they are put in a vase and burried there or if they are spread so that I become one woth the wind that sings along with nature there.The main thing is to be in that place.It means the world to me.

As per our custom, I will be burnt and ashes & bones will be flown to river Ganga. I would not like to spread over mountain my ashes. It is time taking and expensive also. Our custom also do not allow to spread over mountain. Flowing into river Ganga is sufficient.

I haven't decided if I wanted to be cremated or not. I can't decide. I think if I were to decide to be cremated though, I would prefer my ashes to be scattered somewhere vs sitting on someone's mantle top.

I would never want to stay in an urn, I like my freedom too much!!!! I've told my children that that they can take my ashes up on the south downs and throw me to the wind, there is a special place up there where my partners ashes were let free and I want mine to be in the same place.

I want someone (preferably my husband) to take my ashes to the ocean. I want to be sprinkled in the water. This way I could always be with my family as long as they got to an ocean.

I really don't care what's done with my ashes as long as parts of my body is used to help other people are taken care of before I'm cremated is all I care about. My ashes could be spread out over any place. Or they could sit on a mantle or a shelf. I mean I really don't care for I won't be around to tell them what to do. It's up to my kids what they want to do with it. My husband already said if I pass before him, he will keep them until he passes then plans on having his combined with mine, so we are together forever I guess. I don't won't mine to be in a expensive vase, I mean what's the point. I will be ashes. I got the idea of being cremated from my husband's grandparents.

Having experienced out of body experiences during meditation, I understand that the ashes would not be ME. I understand it is just a metaphor for ME. The real me would still exist on some level. I would like for people to remember me with joy, and remember what joy I brought to their lives. It feels too creepy to have someone's ashes in my space... I wouldn't want to have others do that for me. I love nature.. and we came from dust, it's okay to return. I think it should be scattered in places in nature..

nope.sorry. do not want my ashes to be spread all over. don't want to be cremated i rather have my body donated to the science, or giving my body orgens to someone who needs it. from the age of 18 i have an a.d.i card which gives premission if somthing happens to me to donate my orgens..not that i think anyone will want them..lol..but still but if i had just one choice and that was to be cremated, i would ask the person that is the closest to me to have a big happy party on a yacht and spread it while singing in the sea:)

Hi Tetchie..... Seriously now....I've always wanted to be flushed down a toilet. the man who set up my paid burial account told me this wouldn't be possible (he was shocked ) So I've arranged to have my relatives do it...(laughter here)..... I feel that our physicals are of the Earth so why not let them go back to the earth?
