Kilted Burial?

[Oldhiker]

Personally I don't plan on going !!

I want to be a burden to my GGGgrandchildren. I plan on wearing out my kilts so nothing left to bury or give away.

A detailed will and funeral pre-planning are always a good idea. Nobody wants to think about their 'final plans' or funeral day, but it's a event we cannot avoid, so why not take a little control over it.

Yes, I personally know how much easier a preplanned funeral makes things for the survivors, but, I am not at all worried about my family fighting over my funeral. However, to save them from making the decisions, I will stipulate a cardboard box, a crematorium, and a trash bin. Few in my family would bat an eyelash over those directions.

Lyle1,

I have given my family the same instructions. As far as I am concerned, once I'm gone, my body is just waste and what do you do with waste? You burn it and dispose of it.

I do plan to be around long enough to walk both of my daughters and eventually my granddaughgter down the aisle. Although, by the time my grandaughter is ready to get married, she may have to push my wheelchair down the aisle. Yes, for their weddings, I will be kilted if that is what they want on that day.

I will pick out a nice inexpensive kilt to be buried in.

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

You know... I'm not actually sure who would be handling the details of that, but I doubt very seriously I would be buried in a kilt. Not sure which family members would still be around to make decisions, and I'm planning on staying single, so I might end up on a hook in a freezer at a medical college.

We would love to have you in our freezer! Just kidding, no hooks involved actually, and we cremate the bodies and return the ashes to the families when the year is over (so you most definitely would not be buried in a kilt)- just an FYI....

Well, rather than being cremated I would prefer to be ground up, emulsified, then fed to mother Earth's microbes and wee beasties. I wouldn't mind a catapult being involved too, but... I won't be too picky.

I would like to have an open casket wake both sides open just not the top.
However I would be buried in a cheap MacDonald tartan kilt because they cut the back of the jackets and back of the kilts to dress you easier before putting you into the casket.
