That's me, I don't want to remember them like that because they never look like themselves.  I don't look when I have to go to a funeral.  My casket's gonna be closed!

My only requirement for my death is that I am cremated, only because I have been told that someone will pee on my grave when I die, therefore I will not be in the ground for that to happen to, puts someone elses mind at ease!

LOL!!!  You could be placed in a mauseleum, on the top shelf. ;)

I'm actually planning on being put in one,  I don't want to be top shelf though, I may need to climb out, and I don't want to have to fall too far. ;)

You are sooo funny! I had thought about the other option, it won't matter what they do to me, I won't know, right? The one that has had this conversation with me was worried, I told him he had no reason to worry, because that would never be an option for the person that said it, and I am certain you know who I mean.

Yes, I know who you mean.

You've not heard my burial plans?  LOL, my kids think I'm nuts, but they ALL know what I want.    Do NOT embalm me. (Unless I'm super obviously dead. Gunshot, stab wounds, crushed skull, etc) Put me above ground, bury me with a fully charged cell phone, (and make sure it's paid up!!).  If you haven't heard from me in 3 days, you can safely assume I AM dead. LOL (I'm really not joking here.)

I know someone that wants buried with a flashlight, unless someone in the family can figure out how to put a light in her casket.

This is a little tangent, but I am searching for help in loading information on to Find A Grave.

...Being a genealogist I have used internet resources for years that lead to lists of names of who is in what cemetery. It would be nice if every known grave was compiled into one database and we could access it completely for free. :)

My dad is the last name on this page at find a grave.

Hey CC-Gal,

You got me on a mission in an indirect way....I went to Find A Grave about Ray Harroun and when I saw the information seemed to be incorrect I thought I would go the Anderson Memorial Park (Section C) and take a photo of Ray W. Harroun's grave site that reads he was born 1879 - 1968 and WINNER - 1st 500 - 1911. 

I also took a photo of my grand parents, but I cannot seem to get the information loaded to Find A Grave.

Please explain the Find A Grave thing? I have a couple family members that might really like to know those websites, one is currently doing a family tree.

Did you know?

Reuben John Smith of Buffalo, New York, made sure that he would spend eternity in comfort and he was buried in a leather recliner chair with a checkerboard sitting on his lap.

Humphrey Bogart in 1944 starred in To Have and Have Not with Lauren Bacall. A famous line from the movie, delivered by Bacall (who became his 4th wife) to Bogart, was, "If you need anything, just whistle."  So when Bogart died in 1957, she placed a whistle inscribed with the line inside the silver urn with his ashes.

I have heard stories about other being buried with their cars (like Corvair's) and Harry "The Horse" Flamburis was buried with his motorcycle on top of his coffin.

As on the episode of "Wings" were Fay buried all 3 of her husband's name George.  Someone said isn't that odd?  Fay said where she is from they buried all the dead.  She did admit that her second husband smoked a pipe and would never use an ash tray, so she had him cremated and he is using an ash tray now!
