Would you want a funeral?

[singingcrow]

I really don't want one

 

[FadingSnowFake]

Nope, cremation and if it's of any use, plant me under a tree. Hope my family doesn't have to see my body, hope the body doesn't have to be returned to my country.

Direct burial , no funeral , no service , no mourners.
Just put in the ground by gravediggers.
That is the fate of some of us. Unwanted in life and in death.
Those who are surrounded by people and people who genuinely care about you -Good for you.

 

[Lost Impact]

No and there's no way anyone would want to shill out for one either. I don't want my body found. I want to be gone and forgotten. Nobody wanted to look at me in life, so it's disgusting to think they'd want to afterwards.

I also prefer cremated, but I want my ashes thrown in a dumpster where they belong.

I had a friend who died and there was no announcement in the paper, no funeral, no memorial gathering of any kind. He didn't want any of that and she respected his wishes. I feel the same way. I have already told my son to take the insurance money and take his wife, girlfriend, and her kids and their significant others on the trip of a lifetime and every night at dinner, take a moment to remember how much I love them, share something fun each of them remembers about me and then move on with their lives when the trip is over.

I don't think I deserve any say in the matter. I'm dead. If my loved ones want a funeral for me or not, that's up to them.

No one would be at my funeral, it would be embarrassing if I were alive. There is no one that's able to pay for it either. And even if there was, I don't want one. I don't want to exist in anyone's mind or be remembered. Apparently in Nepal you're thrown off a cliff for the animals to predate. I like the sound of that, earth to earth dust to dust.

I wouldn't want a funeral/memorial or anything, I don't like the idea of people talking or even thinking about me, both while I'm alive, and following my eventual death.
I'd like to find a way to ensure a direct cremation following the autopsy or whatever the specific procedure is.

You can do this, if you have the money. Funeral directors sell this package for around £1500. Upon your death, they will collect and cremate you. Job done

I can't bear the idea of having a funeral. I'm afraid there will be one even i write a note demanding to not have one.

 

[Chaos_Contingency]

I don't want a funeral because I don't deserve it.

You read my mind. I also want to be cremated and my ashes scattered in nature, in some beautiful place, for example, on the edge of a forest) I will indicate this in my suicide note. This will be my last will. I hate myself and want to be completely destroyed, not lying in the ground. I hope my parents will not do it their way, if they respect me at least a little, although they are selfish.
However, the main thing is to die, and what happens to your corpse after death is not so important

 

[22yearsbroken]

For me no... i am a registerd donor.. if thats possible depending upon circumstances... ut im also registerd for body donation ro medical education.. so once there done with what ever is left of me.. they will provide the cremation.. my will has the information where my ashes are to spread.. but no actual funeral.. im catholic but ive never been a practicing one.. so have a party if they want but no god bullshit..

 

[LaetumCat]

Not really, theyre extremely expensive, and for what? I wont even see it anyway. I kind of want others to forget me after I die, but given my siatuation, if I ctb I'll cause A LOT of...sadness, or just negative feelings in general. Also I'm not entirely sure how my body would look like after i ctb, so maybe a funeral wouldnt even be fully possible..

 

[burneverybridge]

Man everyone's answers are basically the same.
I want a funeral and have someone read my last memo which will say no one cared when it mattered. I hope everyone feels guilt and regret and thinks twice before brushing off another suicidal person.

Haha imagine their faces

 

[x3la]

Sure, since it will at least give some form of closure for whoever feels like showing up. Though, the thought of being buried or cremated freaks me out. I'd rather donate my body to science after any organs that can be donated have been.

 

[TheDevilsAngel]

DEFINITELY NOT!!! I don't talk to any family or anyone other than my online friends. Actually irl I have no one except my kids and there more than enough. I also feel I actually wanna be alone. If they ever tried to give me a funeral I'd never rest in peace

 

[xhelx]

If I was the one planning it and paying for it, I'd love to have a funeral. Also I'd love it if I could attend it (technically I would be there, but I'd like to be aware). I'd make it look like a big party to celebrate getting rid of me.
But yeah, realistically I don't really want a funeral. I want whoever would be paying for it to do something fun with the money instead, just cremate me or something.

 

[jb.fletcher]

I originally wanted Alkaline hydrolysis, or a water cremation. (I took a 3 day funeral directors course for licensing and we went over all the different options available). But after being in the morgue, I've changed my mind and would like to donate my body to science. Less burden on my family and I'm dead so I don't care. I wouldn't mind a celebration of life- not sure the turn out, but at the end we're only an obituary that ppl forget over time.
I wouldn't mind being turned into to compost either or turned into a tree pod... But donation is honestly the top of the list.

 

[IronDragon]

No. There aren't many people that care about me here. Those that think they do, don't know the horrors that happen inside my mind. They think they're friends with someone who is happy, upbeat, and always knows what to say, who will have a funeral in decades barring a horrific accident-- I've known since about 13 that suicide was, sooner or later, going to be how I went. I'd roll in my grave if that group of people had my funeral and talked about how unexpected this was. Of course it is. You didn't know me. You knew what I showed you.

 

[star.trip]

Honestly, I don't care. Funerals are for the living to say goodbye to those who have passed away. It's not my decision, and it wouldn't bother me anyway because I won't be around to find out. So, let them do whatever they want. As for my final wish, I'd like to be cremated.

 

[PanaxMan]

I want a simple cremation and my ashes spread out to sea. I'll probably bar my ex from seeing me, but I don't know if that could be possible.

How about you guys, do you want a grand send off?

On a sidenote, I love these black candles.

"Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones because regret is stronger than gratitude"

Don't really care besides my sister she might protest for me to get one but I won't care in the end

 

[enne]

always wanted to become a tree

 

[-Tandem-]

no. I believe I will express that in the note but Idk. Really it's up to them but I wouldn't want one, personally

 

[thousandislandstare]

I definitely do not. I actually sometimes get a little angry imagining the people who screwed me over or weren't there for me when I needed them feeling sorry for themselves when confronted with the outcome. I really would just like all evidence of myself wiped from existence.

 

[SASU-KE]

I don't care about 1 at all. It's all hogwash.

always wanted to become a tree

Interestingly,People are given the option to plant a tree in some places for their loved ones passing. Someone I know passed away recently and the Funeral Home offered the option of buying a tree to plant on their behalf. So you could in a way become one I guess.

These are the options available.

• Ponderosa Pine
• Long Leaf Pine
• Jack Pine
• White Oak
• Western Larch
• Lodgepole Pine
• Douglas Fir
• Red Pine
• Loblolly Pine
• Slash Pine
• Black Spruce
