(I am posting this just so there is no question about my wishes after I am gone. With the recent passing of my mother and my current physical conditions I thought it might be good to have my wishes known!)
I want a Green Funeral; there are places that will do this. Green as in all natural, no preservatives, a cheap biodegradable coffin and I want to be able to actually decompose into the earth as we were meant to do.
I DO NOT want a Christian Funeral! I want NO hymns, NO priest or minister (unless they are pagan or Buddhist or some other NON Christian type).
If Don has died before me, I want to be next to him if he is in a green cemetery and biodegradable. If I die before him I want to be buried where he can be next to me after he dies. I want everything I own to go to Don, he can do what he wants with it. I want NO flowers; I would like people to plant a tree or lilac bush in my memory instead. They can plant these anywhere they want. Living, positive, natural things are what I want as a memorial instead of cut flowers that will quickly fade!
(There is more but those details can be found on my computer when the time comes under the word directory Tristan/funeral.)

I would prefer a green funeral as well. I dont want to be embalmed but I dont wanna be buried either. I have this weird fear that if I am dead I wanna make certain I am dead, so either throw me on a brush fire or put me in a mausoleum. I dont want to be put in a crowded cemetery. Just put me in a nice wooded area or an area near my parents home.
ReplyDeleteI was always told that I had to be embalmed and such and I am like... no... no no no no I would rather jump in a river of lava and be done with it.
But cut flowers of the right type can be planted and rooted. and in my family we send a sheaf of wheat. which of course symbolizes that dead is not the end. since you know you can plant that stuff and harvest it again.
ReplyDeletei personally want craft night and have people eat my flesh and make candles and such out of my fat if i have a lot left when i die. and of course bind a book with my skin to write stupid memories of me in.
I will have a Druid funeral and my ashes buried somewhere I love

I haven't been following here for long Tristan and wonder what you "current physical conditions" are that have you concerned.
