I have an order that if I can only be kept alive by machines, turn them off. No heroic measures. I drew that up with my will last year.
After death, use whatever can be used, then cremate the rest. And I want about the opposite of my brother's funeral; he had canned hymn music, somber people sitting around in black, and an ancient funeral director who turned his service into a Jesus call. It was awful. I want a New Orleans jazz band, and/or the drum band from Titanic ![]() After that, I'll either be scattered somewhere I love or put into a fake rock in one of those rock gardens springing up in cemeteries now. I can see it now: my kids will go visit "Mom's Rock" on Sunday afternoons :P. I've also considered donating myself to the Body Farm in Tennessee.

rituals after death are for the living. I have informed my family that I have no preferences. They may do what they wish with my body. My only wish is to not spend alot of money on it. No need.
I too am an organ donor. They are to bear respect for that. I dont care if they bury me, nor do I care if they visit the grave if they do. I dont care if they cremate me. If they do, I just ask to be near horses. I want to be remembered as someone who made the difference in animal's lives. I have helped many a dog and horse rescue. I help set up online auctions to sell items for animal rescue organizations. I adopt only senior animals. I foster when asked, and do legs of transport to assist animals get to their forever homes. I dont care that I live on next to nothing. I help abused animals find kind humans that make their time on earth happy, safe and loving.
