Story Planning my funeral

[Thequietone]

I found the perfect urn with a skull on it. I want it to be decorated with dark red roses.

I also know where I wanna be buried, first I wanted to be buried in my home country but that is so much affort for my family so I will be buried in the country I live.

I would buy the urn but I can't because my dad would see the package so I tell them the name and where I found it in my letter.

I wanna have a lot of fastfood and I wanna get a priest and a ceremony and I want that they play my fav music.

I want do die well organized : )

I don't know yet if I do it but when I, I will be ready.

I really feel what you say. I also have planned everything in my mind, somehow the most important thing for me is the exact music that should be played

For me it is also the music but I also like my urn. I feel like I should help my family with all the planning before.

do you plan to tell your family somehow or is it more in your head? I thought I'd write some details in my goodbye note but somehow the idea that someone finds me dead and there's a note with funeral details seems like a weird joke

Cremation is in my will. During my creamation, it will be my last carbon footprint!

why do you prefer this method over getting buried? just out of curiosity

I wrote it in my letter for my parents. I think it is no joke at all, it just lets them realize how much I wanted to die.

I want my cremains left above the tree line in The Alps. I want a biiggg Toblerone too, just because. And some sunglasses—- it's bright up there at the top of the world.

this is what I've written in the legal documents I've prepared to ensure I get no medical intervention

It's a lot less money than a burial. And though I'm not sure of the reasons why, I've heard it's more eco-friendly.

I've told my sister my funeral wishes, if she outlives me. I wished to be cremated, placed in the cheapest container, and buried in a plot my deceased parents bought long ago. Next to them. No visitation, no service, no prayers, no singing, no words from a clergy. She is my sole ""heiress"

that's really interesting, I have never given a thought about how eco-friendly my burial is... good thought!

I'm with you Ligo. I don't want an obit, and NO mention on FB. One of my sisters is an FB addict, and in my notes, I'll tell her respectfully, DO NOT ever mention me on FB. My other sister is the best friend I ever had, and she will know almost all my wishes, without me even telling her. I wish everyone had one friend as good as she.

I have a will outing who to contact and power of attorney.
Simple cremation, no service.

Personally, I do not want a funeral, but I wish you the best with your plans. When the time is right for you to leave, I hope you find peace.

Thank you very much : )

I don't want a funeral because no one would come. Then again, my family can just blame the lack of attendance on COVID. I do want my cremains to be turned into glass art and placed in the family cemetery in which there is no more space to bury me next to the rest of the family.

 

[samishii]

Personally, I would prefer this .

I plan to request a natural burial (so no coffin). And my family can decide how they want my funeral to be. Funerals are more for the living than they are for the dead anyway.

It's a lot less money than a burial. And though I'm not sure of the reasons why, I've heard it's more eco-friendly.

From what I've read, burial is worse because of the carcinogens used in embalming fluid and the resources required to maintain cemetery lawns. Obviously, keeping a bunch of coffins in the ground is part of it too. And cremation isn't much better for the environment.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

I'm sure nothing will happen. Nor do I care. This life went horribly wrong a long time ago. It is best extinguished and forgotten avoiding any further embarrassment.
