GTKY: When you're dead...

mmb248

You know the scene in First Knight where King Arthur dies and they put his body on a raft, send it out to sea and then archers shoot flaming arrows to light the pyre?  I want that.  For real.

If that's not possible, then I would like to be cremated and for my friends and family to use the money that would be spent on visitation/funeral expenses and rent a beach house, spend a week (or weekend) together, talk about how awesome (or ridiculous) I was and laugh until they're in tears. And then, while everyone is laughing and drinking, just dump me out on the beach so I can be in happy place.

YES!!! Can you actually put this kind of thing in a will? Irresponsibly, I have no will yet, and I should because I have a kid. But this is what I really would like. Do you think this the kind of thing you can enforce?

Well I can't be ashes, I can't join in on the zombie apocalypse if I do that. 

This had me ROTFFL.

Spread my ashes.  Maybe at Disneyland, so I can forever remain at the happiest place on earth.  Even though it's not allowed.  I'll make my kids sneak me in) But I want a headstone/ Memorial plaque in a Cemetery,  because I'm a total AW

C and I actually have to plan this for my MIL.  She wants her ashes spread at the Haunted Mansion, in the cemetery area out front on the way into the ride.  I was thinking of mixing her ashes in a can of Coca Cola (her favorite drink) and pouring it out in the graveyard area.  I wonder if that would be suspicious... I know it's illegal but we're trying to brainstorm ways to make it happen because we know that's her dying wish, and we've known it for a long time.

Love the Haunted Mansion ;-)
