How about this?
Our lives are a dream or nightmare depending upon each individuals perception, and one day you wake up! When you die? Then it’s over!
Hum? Sounds nuts! How do you wake up dead? Well if you think about it when you die your going through a change such as your body rots! Or you are cremated and you turn to ash! Ashes to ashes dust to dust. Hum? I’m going to keep religion out of this argument.
So in any case what happens to your remains dictates what you, “your remains” become a part of.
Now i’m not suggesting your memory will survive, I don’t believe you might evolve into a fish or something but you will become part of something who knows what! a brick wall?
In any event bottom line what happens to your remains may have a tremendous effect on your next journey?
So what i’m asking is what are you going to do with your remains and what is it you would hope to become a part of?
SERIOUS AND NON-SERIOUS ANSWERS WELCOME.

If things go as planned, I’ll be cremated. As basic a cremation as I could find. I have no concern over what happens to my body, no need for the rituals of a funeral, grieving relatives all seeking closure, etc. To me that’s a senseless waste of time. Sure, it’s the natural human need to ritualize ones passing, but I don’t want it for me.
As for what I hope to become a part of? I hope to become a part of eternal silence, blissful unawareness. Oblivion. Nothing. Peace and quiet, from the moment of death onward. That’ll work.
Yeah me too, actually they can do what ever they want to obtain there closure however cremation is my wish, As for what I hope to become a part of? this is reality it won’t matter or concern me once i have died but i know right now in a box in the ground you can’t mingle. i’m like to mingles at heart! š
Hm, didn’t Megadeth make a song about waking up dead?
Anyway, I would like my remains to be turned into Flex Tape. Maybe then I would be able to hold things together.
Lol. That’s just . . . different.
EmptyPluto ! of course! become useful for something? Nice!
we wish for this crap to stop, as in die. but the quandary, boggle, what ever, if were dead we will not be able to know anything. So, if we kill ourselves and we are dead we get robbed of the pleasure we seek. hmmmm, wtf this torture beyond comprehension……
Gary i’m sure once you die you wont be tortured any longer! this would only matter to you as a last wish so to speak. You will become something or a part of something else, not knowing what to do is gambling! You could become Dolly Pardons Mini pad!
Thinking about this thought makes my brain tremble.
I want my cremated remains to be poured out the cockpit window of a DC-3 from an altitude of at least 5000 feet above ground. When ashes are poured out an airplane window some of them blow back into the airplane. Then I want one of my survivors to offer to pay the crew 500$ not to clean the airplane so that my ashes will be part of a DC-3.
Wow didn’t expect that on a1957 want to be a part of a DC-3? YOU MUST HAVE FLOWN ONE?
McDonnell Douglashes? š
@rocketman They came out about 20 years before I was born but a number are still in use. I flew a couple of them in the 90’s. My favorite ever.
@once Yes indeed.
hello rivets, ha ha! i still don’t know what to do? sprinkle my ashes around a pot plant? COME ON ROLL ME AND SMOKE ME!! š
Hola!
You could have them play some France Gall (Le temps de la rentrĆ©e? That’s a good one) and have a bunch of bunny girls dance in a public square while tossing ashes into the air like confetti. That’s my plan.
rivets! I LOVE IT! Bunny Girls! Le temps de la rentrƩe? WOW! a DREAM COME TRUE!! LA TA DA DA DA DA DA TA DA! YIPPEE!
I’ll get a natural burial in a nature preserve cemetary, have a tree planted over me. Human ashes aren’t conducive to plant growth so I switched out of the cremation idea.
I’ll be part of worms and bugs and turn into nutrients for growth.
freeroma, i was like yeah alright ! then i got to Human ashes arenāt conducive to plant growth so I switched out of the cremation idea.
Iāll be part of worms and bugs!!!! I think I’ll stick with the Bunny Girls!
I don’t think that life is a dream. I’d want to be part of a car so then I could be all like, “Vroom vroom b, I’m a god damn car”.
GoodLuck2UAll, I like it, with my luck i’d be a Talking YUGO and Give the owner nothing but problems.
LOL. How sucky would it be to end up as a teddy bear that just says I love you when you press it’s hand.
I want to kill myself somewhere where my body canāt be found, maybe someplace beautiful, Iāve always hoped to shoot myself in the middle of the forest. I guess so it wouldnāt be disturbed and so the body wouldnāt be found, I donāt want to be noticed (seen) dead or alive … especially donāt want any police involved like finding my body and then touching it. I really donāt want to be touched after death. All Iāve ever had to do to commit this way is to be to get a gun and get transportation to this place of refuge but I canāt figure out how to get said gun, still working out transportation….
Iām also like how long do I wait… how soon is too soon to do this? Why stick around any longer? Iāve been ready for a long time… this has been my plan for about 13 years and Iāve been ready for 7….
Cause of Death: Suicide
Wow, Body will be found sooner or later, animals bugs humans you will be touched!
I bought everything i needed years ago i still have it locked up, I was ready BUT something changed my mind at last minute glad it did, i changed my life and i’m quite happy now within reason.
I’m not sure about your situation but changing it may change your mind. Staying in it just makes you dwell on the forest.
I know Iāve looked into it, Apparently, it only takes about two weeks for everything to be cleared. First the coyotes come and eat your skin off. Next the buggies start feeding on your bones and such and youāre chalk dust nothing when they get finished champering off the āYouā that once breathed, walked, spoke. Oh, and you had a āsoulā, a āpersonality,ā and special traits!
Hey – as long as an actual human isnāt around to touch me, take me to a lab and pick at my dead body!
The wolves can have me.
The only problem in this plan, is if the humans find me before I commit while I have the weapon or if they find my dead body before it is disintegrated and can identify me :/
My only fears.
No but I donāt want to change my situation or āget betterā as some will say. I just want to commit this way, but either I canāt because something gets in my way or Iām not strong enough….
Cause of Death: Suicide I was going to tell you don’t worry about it but! they will take pictures and everything! so i guess your just going to have to stick around! š
