I've told my wife to do this to me:

BUT FIRST, I want to die in a kilt. Preferably in bed. With a redhead lass half my age.

Buried in a rented kilt, white hose.

Nah all the other corpses would make fun of me. "look at the dead guy with a rubber chicken hanging around his nether regions, ha ha". Would lose the funny aspect after the first 150 years.

I hope to die peacfully in my sleep like my Grandfather and not screaming in terror like his passengers. Cue rimshot.

Its cremation for me - then I want a some of my ashes left in all the places I so dearly love. The kilts belong to the next generation.

I, too, plan to be cremated. Ashes returned back to the water, preferably a running river... as for passing on my things to my kids.. They are Navajo, and there is a stigmatism about keeping things that belong to the departed. So I guess they will go to friends... I do not want a funeral, but a party with all the songs that meant something to me... starting out with "Danny Boy" the first song sang to me by my grandfather.. and I want "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd... Amazing Grace on the pipes, and Echo Taps... I hope there will no tears shed but joy and laughter... not mourning my passing, since it's inevitable, but a celebration of sharing my life with theirs! And like Barleyjuice's song "Dear Richard's Wake" I want to pay for all the liquor my friends can handle....lol

I wrote out a will a couple of years ago before I went on a trip overseas ("Be prepared"). I want my survivors to have a big wake and celebrate my life. My posessions will be distributed among my family and friends. A couple of them have first dibs. A couple of things are earmarked for certain people. After any/everything useful has been harvested from my remains (organs, etc.), the rest is to be cremated and spread hither & yon, per my directions - wherever it's allowed.

What's the line from the song in THE SLIPPER AND THE ROSE? Something like...

Oh Ho Ho, What a comforting thing to know
There's a prearranged spot
In the Family Plot
Where my tired old bones will go...

Anyhow, that's me. Can't let the side down. Back to our roots...

When my dad passed away last April I made sure he was buried in the Barclay Ancient Hunting scarf I'd given him for his last birthday. We also had Amazing Grace played at his funeral.

Shortly afterwards I sacrificed my own Barclay Dress tartan scarf to put on my grandad and nan's grave- Grandad was a true born Scotsman (Cleland, Lanarkshire), Nan was born in Coventry like myself and Dad but was the biggest "Scotophile" ever so no way would she object to any tartan on her grave, let alone the Barclay one!
