No burning in the Catholic Church, just burial (unless you've been very naughty and then you're burning for eternity). <br /><br />As for me, I would want my organs donated and then a proper Irish Catholic burial preferably with an ocean view.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816079998450717947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592655422199331070.post-59926406268049374882009-09-22T17:52:00.172-07:002009-09-22T17:52:00.172-07:00I'm with most of you - donate then cremate.

He is ultra strict in following the rules. Drives me a bit nutty. Anyway, does anyone know if this is true?

When he died, his body was shipped back to LA to be buried by family, but then his buddies showed up at the airport, jacked the coffin and fulfilled his desert wish.Suzanne Casamentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08306151428658707692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592655422199331070.post-4467643686477399832009-09-22T13:12:38.792-07:002009-09-22T13:12:38.792-07:00My mom told me about this movie called "Rocke...My mom told me about this movie called "Rocket Gilbraltar." I haven't seen it, but the story stuck with me. When I think about death, and what I want done to my remains, this movie always pops in my head. It's about a dying man whose family gets together for his birthday. He doesn't get along great with his children, but he's really connects with his grandchildren. He tells his family that his wish is to be set out to sea in a Viking funeral ritual. He dies. His kids start planning the traditional funeral, but his grandkids build a boat, steal his body, and set him to sea, boat afire in Viking tradition. I think that would be an awesome way to go.hkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158591872766973355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592655422199331070.post-61234925392426281742009-09-22T13:10:43.621-07:002009-09-22T13:10:43.621-07:00I've thought of this.

But I don't want to be buried. I know that. <br /><br />Perhaps I am weird for thinking of these things!Lisa Aldinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423334732254639943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592655422199331070.post-11533000286611732182009-09-22T12:41:01.568-07:002009-09-22T12:41:01.568-07:00Donate bits if possible, burn me, and then whateve...Donate bits if possible, burn me, and then whatever. I'll let my family decide. If they want to throw me to the wind, so be it. <br /><br />I'd really like to have a bench in my name placed in a beautiful garden, park, or trail.
