Discussion What items would you like to be buried with?

[Underwhelming]

As the title says, what items would you like to be buried with? I think I'd like a picture of my parents over a breast pocket near my heart, a joint and a lighter over the other, and then a small wallet binder of pictures of my friends in one of my pants pockets.

Nothing. I don't attach sentimental value to objects.

I am very extreme in that way. I could pack a bag and move to a deserted island in a second: the only object I would take would be my toothbrush.

 

[Soulless_Angel]

I don't wana be buried, but I have a teddy I have had since I was tiny tiny, that's been by my side and sits beside my bed all my life, I would want that with me as well as a family photo, everything else I don't give a crap about!

As an archaeologist this has always fascinated me. I've seen many an ancient body with associated grave goods.
I expect I'd be cremated but I'd still sentimentaly wish for certain items with me.
My lock-knife, my pendant, my pocket book. Id take my phone but I suspect I'd find myself out of range of a signal.

 

[faust]

Well, I will bury some stuff separately. Like it is not good to throw away presents, so I will simply bury.
Most likely it will be soil. Not the sand.

A phone so you can log in to SS from the other side and finally solve the biggest question on the forum, right?

Nothing. Though in a joking way my iPad. It's what I used to talk to you guys, and what I use to play games. As a fairly reclusive nerd it's my connection to the world and my primary source of entertainment, and my best friend.

 

[It'llNeverEnd]

this question makes me want to climb into a crematorium than have family pick clothes

 

[UpandDownPrincess]

My bears. I've slept with a teddy bear of some sort since my first night on earth. (Back then it was okay for babies to sleep in a crib with stuffed animals. We also all slept on our tummies.)

Certainly the one I'm using at the time, plus as many others as they can fit in the box.

 

[lowres]

To quote danny devito "when im dead just throw me in the trash". I don't want anyone burying me with stuff or paying anything to have me buried, hell i don't even want the plastic bag they give you for free just throw me in the damn dirt or put my ashes in a coffee can or sumn.

My bass guitar

 

[akrasia]

Nothing. I would like to be cremated. I don't have anything object(s) that's valuable to me. I'm not sure if they would allow a person to be burn with an object.

 

[BFishy]

I also want nothing. Burn me up and throw me in the trash. It can symbolize my feelings I have had my whole life.

 

[InTheAirTonight]

If you honestly are thinking about items you'll be buried with, then I don't think you'll actually ctb.

 

[Fizzel87]

Lol, I'm looking into donating my corpse to medical research to spare family the funeral costs of possible.

Jokes on you, i value most things more than i value my life.

It will depend on your local laws, but it is not unusual for folks to be cremated with a favorite object. It's really no different than the clothes that you're wearing as far as the purity of your remains. (I have personal experience with relatives who had such requests.)

Nothing. I want to be cremated, no funeral, I HATE the idea of funerals.. odd and depressing (in my opinion) then scattered somewhere beautiful. That thought gives me comfort.

How about funerals like that?

I love that!! It's literally heart warming. As the British attitude to death is so grim. But still.. I don't want my body buried and taking up space I'd rather float away as ashes on the breeze.

My Teddy Bears from childhood.

I'd rather be missing. But the more I live the harder it seems. Plus this is not cheap as well.

I love the idea of going deep into the Aokigahara Forest and ctb and being so deep I never get found. England is too damn small for that shit though..

Ye, I am in Ireland and knowing how sea can be harsh there because of gales, I would not take a boat

My grandfather loved doing woodwork, even while he suffered with dementia. His work gradually declined, but it gave him something to do, so we indulged him. My mom, my aunt, and I handled the funeral, and we decided to put some personal items in his casket. In his pocket were pictures of his two great-grandchildren, and a pencil he used to mark on the wood. He also loved pennies (no, we haven't gotten rid of them in the US because we're behind the rest of the world), and I went into my collection and found a 1951 (for the year my Mom was born) and a 1953 (for my aunt).

As for me, I want to be cremated. However, adding those things to Grandpa's casket meant a tremendous amount to me at the time, and it means even more today. I say you should do what you want. You only die once - in my opinion - so do it the way you want.

Seriously? It's in Ireland where I want my ashes scattered!! It's a place I found in County Galway that was the most beautiful peaceful place. Ireland is really special to me.

Oh, really, believe me or not, but I have not yet visited Co.Galway. There were 2 storms and I planned to go there during these storms but did not.
