So I’m trying to get things in order…for those who are at the same path that I am,how do you go about setting things up? I.e.,what you want done with your body,how you want your possessions divided,etc?
Most of the time I don’t really care,BUT one of my biggest fears is that the decision will be left up to my parents,since I have no spouse/children,and that my dad will have control of my body,and the thought sickens me. I want to protect my remains from that.
Ive thought about trying to sign myself up for donating it to science,but not sure if they will take suicidal deaths and not sure how to go about it.
Also,I want to indicate for my dogs to go to a safe home…my BF keeps threatening to take them to a shelter if I die,want to prevent him from doing that.
Obviously I can’t draw up a legal document with a lawyer,d/t the circumstances….anyone have any input?
PS-To Biscuit of Death,I know today was your day,although we have never spoken….good luck with whatever you choose,and may you be at peace with your decision either way.

Yeah, …… I;ve let it be known within the family that if I should die that I wish to be cremated.
There are those in the family that think cremation is wrong.
I am worried about Biscuit, I hope he doesn’t do it. He is so young.
I’m trying to get my arrangements in place as well, and for the most part I’m just writting a letter. I’m not sure if it will do much, though. You can split up your belongings however you want. Give them all to one person or devide them how you see fit. It’s what you want. I just wrote that everythign goes to my sister.
Do you have any family that you could give the dogs to? Or maybe a really trusted friend?
i am trying not to care.
I think once life leaves your body it no longer belongs to you. At the time of death the body is just a bag of organic material.
Prefer to be cremated so my family will not waste money on my body if I do not end up dying overseas.
And I have no assets really so there is nothign to divide out.
