Burial or Cremation
- Thread starter MAJOR METAL
- Start date
I would just like to be recycled.
After the doctors have taken out all organs they could find useful, the rest should be fed to pigs or used as a fertilizer or landfill. Or make glue out of it. Or Spam. If my carcass can be of any use, good. No need to waste good wood.
BTW, I´m being dead (no pun intented) serious here. I don´t want any fuss made about my death. Hey, it happens to everybody. I just want to be a part of the natural cycle of life: eat or be eaten. When it´s my turn to be on the menu, I´m fine with it.

I still don't see any rhyme or reason in wanting to get buried together with any thing. No matter how much the dead person treassured the said thing while alive. So, to me, it would have made more sense to add a why to the original question "those of you who are going to be buried would you like to be buried with your bass?"MAJOR METAL said:
That way the question would have been a bit more thought provoking, with a potential of being given some interresting answers.
I want all of me cremated and spread across the world but I wanna preserve my hands and sell it on ebay. Hopefully by then, I will have made a big difference in the bass community and my family can get rich off my hands.
Just a dream I have

One of my favorite movies.
I want to be cremated, my ashes scattered into the Lake of the Ozarks. I want my brother and a couple friends to throw me over one side of the boat, throw their lines over the other side and catch a few fish in my honor. Then have a party! My wife can give my gear, motorcycle, etc. to whomever she wants.

Ahhh...life is good..shiny head and all.

Do you think your family/friends have enough idea as to what clothing you would want to where during your burial / cremation?.
I dont think its really important. I mean chances are if its an open casket funeral, you will be in a suit, but otherwise no one really is going to know and you (the deceased) sure as hell won't care!MAJOR METAL said:
As a general rule, I would probably avoid novelty boxer shorts and hawaiian shirts, but otherwise....
