Welcome to Gaia! ::

o-O I just had an odd after-dinner conversation with my parents. Somehow we got on the subject of cemetaries and the different ways people have been buried and whatnot.

We mentioned different cemetaries and whatnot including a cemetary up in NY that has some of my ancestors there (I've visited it myself), Hollywood Cemetary in Richmond, VA (visited that with Lance; thousands of people there including two presidents), the cemetary in my apartment complex, and, oddly enough, the cemetary in the mall parking lot in my hometown. o-O

When it came to how we wanted to be buried, both me and my dad agreed on cremation when we die. He wanted to be stuck in his old '60-something Ford or to have my mom stick him in the passenger seat and drive around with him. I recommended the glove compartment. xd 'Course, my mom's not gonna do any of that. For me, I want my ashes mixed with paint and have someone do a painting, probably of me when I was still alive.

'Course, I once told Lance when we were in Hollywood Cemetary that if I were to be buried normally, I'd want some kind of motion-censor recording go off by my headstone to creep people out who are passing by. xd I just got a weird look for that one.

So, here's the discussions:
-What's the coolest cemetary you've ever visited?
-Where's the oddest place you've ever seen a cemetary?
-In what way do you wish to be buried?
-If not buried, what do you want done with your ashes?
-If not cremation, then what do you want done with your body?

i want to be cremated, and then have my ashes sprinkled into a dub sack for a first time smoker, so i can bake that little fugger's brains out! whee

i'd want to be cremated....i'm not sure what i'd want to do with the ashes but i'd still want a gravestone.......maybe build myself an aslyum thingy(did i spell that right?).

Viking funeral. I would want a massive funeral pire erected on a boat and then when it gets sent out into the sea with all my worldly possessions on it (and my sword in my death grip) my friend Chris gets to fire the first arrow. Then everyone gets to take shots at me until I burn.

When I die I want all my organs donated (I'll have no use for them when I'm dead.) I've decided that I want to be cremated but I'm not sure what I want done with my ashes.

Sunray > your idea of combining ashes with paint and having a painting done is very creative and well thought out. 3nodding I really wish I could have thought of something like that. *jealous of your creativity xp *

Anyways, I always thought it was a little strange when people have huge graveyards in their backyards. Also in a couple neighborhoods around town there are minature graveyards in the middle of the entrance. Kinda odd. Oh, and at this church I went to there was a very old cemetary that was used for slaves and everything was grown over by ivy and all the headstones were crumbled and you couldn't tell where anyone was supposed to be buried because it was only a little forest area surrounded by a fence.

Maybe I'm not the only one who likes to visit cemetaries... I've always been fascinated by them and had a strange curiousity. I remember I wanted to join this organization (forgot the name of it) where you help preserve cemetaries and clean headstones (with permission of whoever is in charge). Someday I'm going to travel to Europe and have the chance to visit an ancient, historical, fancy cemetary.

Oh yea, one last thing! Someday I'm going to buy a ouija board and test it out in a cemetary with a couple friends. Mwhahaha.

Wow, you must be one of those people who keeps to themselves. What are those called? Oh yeah! Introvert. You must be an introvert if you like being by yourself.
