Funerals

[GiftedNotFree]

I hate funerals. I dread them and feel sick for at least a day before I have to go to one. For my personally, I’d like to donate all organs (if possible) or be used for medical science. I live near a medical school and you can arrange to go there so I will most likely look into that.

If neither of those were possible, I’d definitely like to be cremated. The thought of being buried makes me feel suffocated. Also I hate seeing graves that look neglected— it’s so sad.

Also, I have to say I remember when choosing my mums plot in the Woodlands site there was a pamphlet for alternative funeral arrangements which seemed to be geared towards those of a "hippy nature". One of the services offered were "Graveside dancers". Is this a thing??

I want to be cremated.I don’t think anyone has been buried in my family for Donkeys years. My grandparents were cremated and they still have headstones we can visit.

Isn’t there a James Bond film where he gets locked in a coffin and put into a cremator? Obviously he escapes, but for some reason I just thought of that?

Cremation, my Dad was Cremated, Mother and Brother want the same when it's their turn.

My family don’t have funerals. We’ll all donate our Bodies to medical science if we can, if not, it will be a direct cremation. A direct cremation is where the funeral director takes the body from home or the hospital, gets it cremated in private without a service they then return the ashes to the family.

I don’t want to be intrusive I just find it really interesting, is there a reason why you’d do it that way? Religion?

Now, that would make being cremated worthwhile!

Apparently you can do that!!!!
