texastrophies Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Not looking for an answer here so much as just wondering if you know. My wife and I were discussing it yesterday and just thought I would put it out here and see how many have that part of their future figured out.

MCH Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 A little cemetary in Goodwater, Oklahoma. Right next to my grandma and grandpa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Have no clue to be honest. I do have a couple plots in a mausoleum next to my father and grandparents, that my grandparents left for me in West Virginia, but that is a long ways away from here.

Tominator Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Not looking for an answer here so much as just wondering if you know. My wife and I were discussing it yesterday and just thought I would put it out here and see how many have that part of their future figured out. Unfortunately, I have had to deal with that, but I never did pull the trigger. Sure makes sense, I just don't know where I want to be buried. Kind of wouldn't mind being buried near my parents and brother. My entire family is buried back home in Elyria. As of 1993 I've been living in central Ohio, but not in any certain town so I really don't identify with any of the local towns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeck Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm getting creamated and being scattered on the golf course and the mountain behind the house. Not figuring on taking any more space when I leave than when I showed up. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hopefully a long ways away for me and a lot of things to possibly alter it, but I know where I hope it will be. I've cut the grass at the cemetary that my dad's side is buried in since I could walk, so that would be my first choice for sure. Also helps that is only 2-3 miles from my hunting land.

bfletch7441 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I've told my wife I wanted to be cremated, unless of course I'm involved in a grizzly murder and they can't find whodunit. Then I want to be buried so I don't burn any evidence with me. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'll be buried right here in town. Got my funeral all paid for and my cheap casket picked out. I was kind of disappointed that they didn't have just a plain old pine box, but I got one as plain as I could get. At least it's paid for.

hutchies Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 This subject has come up at my house a couple times when there is a death or something in the family. I told them all that when I die not to spend anymore than they have too.............Once I leave this body I will never need it again. I told them to put me in a pine box and throw me in the dirt or creamate me.........really I don't care either way. I just hate seeing people have to pay out for years on a funeral. Hopefully I will have my arrangements done before that day comes so they have nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddpipkin Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I am a designated organ donor and have that fact imprinted on my driver's license. In addition, I carry a copy of this, laminated in thick plastic so it doesn't fade or run, in my wallet at all times. I hope that my family will honor my wishes when my time comes. I made very slight changes to the original version. I think you will know where, and I believe Mr. Test would forgive me for it. To Remember Me By Robert Noel Test (1926-1994) The day will come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly tucked under four corners of a mattress located in a hospital busily occupied with the living and the dying. At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my life has stopped. When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by the use of a machine. And don't call this my deathbed. Let it be called the Bed of Life, and let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives. Give my sight to a man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby's face or love in the eyes of a woman. Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused her pain. Give my blood to the teen-ager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play. Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week. Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk. Explore every corner of my brain. Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that, someday, a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her windows. Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds in the Rocky Mountains, to help the grass grow for the elk and deer. If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all my prejudice against my fellow man. If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.

Dawg Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I have no clue and really doesn't matter to me.........I'll be dead. I know that wherever it will be that my body will not be there for long, for I am looking for the day when my Savior brings it out of the grave and it becomes one that is glorified.
