Whatever my family wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-126179 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:33:03 +0000 twodoghouse 126179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandparents were cremated and their cremains are buried in a cemetery with headstones and everything. So you could have the best of both worlds @Mrs. Bee!</p> <p>We're not religious either and I do not want to be buried. I'd like my body to be used as a cadaver/for scientific purposes, but I've never looked into it so I don't know if they only take certain people? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-126013 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:09:40 +0000 Goldilocks1107 126013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cremated, but I haven't decided what I want done with my ashes yet. Burial seriously creeps me out (bugs, decomposition, etc. - ick!) and in 50 years, there really wouldn't be anyone left to "visit" my grave and I'd hate to just be a waste of space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-126007 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:06:49 +0000 LuLu Mom 126007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I beleive buried, but if we decided to go cremation, we will still have a headstone for our families to visit. That seems to be tradition around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-126005 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:06:22 +0000 pelikila 126005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband wants to be buried. I want to be cremated. And I do not want my ashes spread anywhere special or put in a wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-126001 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:04:53 +0000 Alivoo01 126001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd want to be buried. Death was one thing that scared me sh!tless as a kid. The fear that I won't be able to achieve all my goals and be forever forgotten on this earth. I'll miss out on all the advancements, etc. Now that I'm older, I'm a little better about it and don't have an anxiety/panic attack, but it still uber creeps me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125832 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 07:41:22 +0000 mrs. wagon 125832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, whatever's cheaper!! Funerals are so crazy expensive. I'd probably want to be buried in the ground no matter what though. And I would never want an open casket funeral. Those just freak me out so so so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125829 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 07:39:45 +0000 heffalump 125829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: They burried my grandpa's ashes, so we still go visit. </p> <p>I want to be buried. Cremation creeps me out. As does those things where you get put in the wall. My other grandpa is in one of those. I want to be buried in the ground. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125777 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 06:53:33 +0000 Rubies 125777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Buried. I keep having weird thoughts of my ashes being spilled in the most random places and I don't want to end up sprawled across a gas station parking lot. Buried safe and sound in the ground! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125752 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:32:46 +0000 Minnie_Girl 125752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought about cremation for a while, but decided that burning up my body was a bit too hellfire for my tastes! I'd like to be buried naturally, like @Grace mentioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125750 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:26:36 +0000 Andrea 125750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought buried but I'd really don't know for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125745 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:19:37 +0000 tequiero21 125745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Buried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125743 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:17:44 +0000 SugarplumsMom 125743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't decided yet, but I think people get cremated here and their ashes are buried afterwards. Burials are covered via taxes (everyone contributes) so going about it "their" way would be the easiest.</p> <p>Part of me wants to be buried by a tree or something but I don't think that's allowed unless it's your property and if I croaked before DH, I don't want him to feel attached to the house because of me.</p> <p>Another option would be to take my ashes back to my hometown but I think you need all sorts of clearances before you can do that. </p> <p>I guess that answers your question then, I don't want to be buried. Maybe I'd will my ashes to be spread in the nearby lake. I love that place (he'd have to be sneaky, sneaky though ... it's illegal here). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125713 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:34:16 +0000 Penny Lane 125713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would prefer cremation, but our religion "discourages" it, so I may not go that way. Otherwise I remember hearing of a burial method where they don't bury you in a coffin and plant a tree right over you, so basically you fertilize the tree. It's kinda creepy, and kinda nice at the same time.</p> <p>Recently DH and I have been joking about whoever dies first having them cremated then compressed into a diamond to wear (a la <a href="http://www.lifegem.com/)" rel="nofollow">http://www.lifegem.com/)</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125703 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:14:16 +0000 cyneswith 125703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer cremation - it's MUCH cheaper, and so much land is used for dead bodies as is. I'd prefer a tree or park bench to a gravestone anyway - something USEFUL. </p> <p>My husband wants a combination Viking funeral and Irish wake. XD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125655 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:38:22 +0000 BSB 125655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would rather be buried than cremated. If it was really expensive for my family, I would be okay with cremation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125640 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:44:18 +0000 Grace 125640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Buried. But in an eco-bag, so that I'm good and decomposed. I think it's so creepy that that coffins are so airtight that you can open up 10 year old graves and the bodies are still juicy. I'd be cremated, but I hears that it releases a lot of pollutants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125636 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:39:04 +0000 chopsuey 125636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't decided.. DH wants to be cremated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-be-buried-after-you-die#post-125631 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:32:22 +0000 Mrs. Bee 125631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know that this is a religious question for many people, but Mr. Bee and I are not religious. </p> <p>I was surprised to find out recently that both my parents want to be cremated! Mr. Bee wants to be cremated too. I always thought I'd be buried so my kids could come visit me, but what's the point if my whole family is cremated?</p> <p>Do you want to be buried or cremated after you die?</p> <p>(sorry for the morbid question!) </p>
