So I discussed rotting (decomposition) with my babies today and naturally the topic turned to rotting people. I love these kids

What's the plan for your body once you cease using it?

Do with me as you NEED!

What I mean is...I am an organ donor. Take EVERYTHING...EVERYTHING viable and useful and spread it about for those who are in need. If I am left with just rotting marrow (or something to that effect)...burn me up and send the ashes to the winds of the day. If it ain't windy and I end up at your feet...RUN! LOL...Just kidding! If that happens...walk away and smile fore I am happy to land in a place you chose for me!

Strangely enough I have already discussed this with my kids and they know exactly where to scatter my ashes after the cremation. After seeing the acrimony tending a grave can cause in several families I was determined that there would be no reason for my kids to fall out on my account after I've gone.

I've also donated everything to medical science and/or organ donation.

I've read that the most environmentally friendly way to rid oneself of any remains would be to bury the body under a tree in a cardboard box. If I can do that & it is the most environmentally-friendly way, I'll go that route.

I will also donate anything anyone wants to use. I like the cardboard box idea because it's cheap and I don't believe in having my loved ones spend their money to put me in the ground.

Well, after big ass New Orleans style send off I expect my kin to throw, just plant me in the ground and call it a day.

Besides, it's only my body...I won't be there anyway.

I am so with you on this one.

I know some people say 'they can have anything but my eyes' but I don't care about those...I'm not going to need them where I'm going and if someone else does, let 'em have them.

I am incredibly squeamish and tend to pass out when I have to give a blood sample, so I don't think I could ever cope with giving blood. I feel horribly guilty about this, so the least I can do is give my body when I'm dead. I won't be squeamish then!

I already donate blood (well, plasma - seems mine has something in it that makes it good - go figure) and I signed up for organ donation - IF there's anything worth having by then! LOL!

After that, as oldfart put it "slash and flash" and dropped from a 'plane seems appropriate - I only screamed the first time, so I don't figure on it happening this time!

As simple as possible. No wake. Just a few words said where ever they decide to plant whats left of me. In the cheapest box there is. And NO visiting the gravesite and wasting money on flowers!! You wanna give me flowers, give em to me now. Then everybody go out to eat and laugh and have fun!!
