Potentially creepy question

[WDWHound]

Or prehaps they could build a new attraction, Spaceship Urn.

 

[Ambifins]

OK, just to jump on the pun bandwagon: they could name it The Mouseleum.

I, however, never thought that by starting this thread it would end up in this direction. That being said, this whole thing started when I told my friends I wanted to be tossed out the doors at the top of the Tower of Terror. I wouldn't even mind if I ended up haunting the place.

My cousin put some of my uncles (great uncle) ashes in POC. When they creamated (sp???) him, everyone got little trinket boxes with some of the ashes (his wife, 2 daugs, 2 sisters). Anyways, my cousin was cleaning on knocked their box of the shelf, by accident. No idea what to do, they picked up what they could of the ashes and decided to bring it to his fav place/ride. So when you go on POC and you are at the jail scene, say hi to my uncle chuck for me.

This topic had come up a few months ago...do a search and maybe you will find somemore stories (I posted mine then, as well)

As long as you spread the ashes in the area marked "smoking section", you should be alright.

DH & I decided some time ago that cremation is for us.. But this thread.. It's hysterical - and I really did need a good laugh tonight!

"Leave a LEG - acy?"

"The Mouseleum?"

"They'll be alright as long as you scatter them in the Smoking Section??"

"Say hello to my uncle Chuck?"
-------------

LOL.... Lots of creative minds here on the DIS..

"Say hello to my uncle Chuck?"

And what is weird is that I have a Disney sericel of the jail scene with mickey and the gang hanging in my living room and all I think about is my uncle.

Whenever I would be going to WDW, my Nana use to say to me...don't forget to say hi to uncle chuck. She didn't know for a few years after it happened, my cousin did not know if it would upset her and thought that it may hurt her. When she did find out, she loved it!! But hey, if she was creamated, we probably would have spread some of her ashes in its a small world :0) Instead when I go on IASW, I throw a penny in for each of her great grandkids (my son and nephew).

Thanks for this thread! It gave me a good laugh. I love it!!! Next time I go to the World, I might start thinkin bout the whole Leave a Leg-acy thing or the Mouseleum and start cracking up. I'll be put in the nut house and blame it all on you guys. Just kidding. But thanks for the laugh

"Magical Scatterings" has a nice ring too, doesn't it???

LOL..

 

[Ishy]

Gave this lots of thought... after watching my mom year after year visit her parents gave site, talking and crying and upset.....
So - 20 years ago I thought of this ->

Hmmmm... k.. dust me, get a cheap purse from Kmart and one knitting needle. Get throught the gate and poke a few holes while strolling up mainstreet. Hop on every ride and shake me purse! The wilder the better! Scatter me around old walts and mickeys shrub and skip through the middle of cindy's castle! If my kids need to talk to me in the afterlife, they have to come and repeat their steps... how can you cry when your running all over disney????

See that was the plan before they made knitting needles illegal leathal weapons and full body searches before going into the park... yeah, I said park... imagine a day when there was only one park, and you could knit on a plane, and you could walk into a park without feeling all embarassed about having your period and all the female stuff that goes with it - discreet inside your purse? Oh and ya, you could smoke anywhere in the park back then, heck you could smoke inside the eating places! Yes officer - we didnt see and ashtray so we been uhmmm.. putting them in my purse all week! arent we great? what me liter???

My daughter is almost the age I was when I thought all this up. Wait.. no, she is older Captain Nemo is something my son will only see in old WDW photos. My point? Things change, I still have a ways to go hopefully. I think people only want their loved ones to continue to live a happy life after they are gone - to continue to dream and believe in magic - not to gross or creep other people out Anyway, this is what they understand and where I am buried or sprinkled or poured out at is not that important - how they choose to remember me is.

I hate to be morbid, but my dad was cremated several years ago and the remains are not really "ashes." The bones do not totally break down so you are not left with something small, lightweight, and flakey. He was 6 feet tall and we had a good sized box that was quite heavy (about shoe box sized.) You could bring some remains in I guess, but now with security how would you explain it if they were found? The entire box would be way too much to sneak in. Maybe before security, but how could anyone do this now? We took my dad's remains to a beautiful mountain overlook in the Smokies and spread them. This was probably against the law too, but no one saw us so it was easy to do. My mom intends to leave her body to science. I'm not sure how I feel about either of these choices, sometimes I wish I had a "place" to go visit my dad. Anyway, the ashes are more like gravel than ashes and I don't think most people realize this. I did get a kick out of "magical scatterings" though LOL!!!

Sadly, I bet if someone marketed the idea to Michael Eisner and he thought that he could make money off of it we would see the commercials tomorrow!

Welcome to Walt Disney World the happiest final resting place on Earth

To me, this is a very serious topic. I am going to reveal my plans.

I already have plans to have my ashes dumped in the water in front of Cinderella's Castle. It's in my will. It doesn't matter if Disney allows this or not. My wife has specific instructions to sneak in my ashes in her purse and discreetly lean over the rail and drop my ashes. Oh, it will be done.

I can't believe I'm revealing my secret, but we're all family here on the disboard. If you love Disney, then you are family to me!

And that's my story....

Well, apparently I'm not the only one who has left those EXACT instructions in a will! So King Triton, you are NOT the only one.

A whikle back, I took a behind the scenes tour of the Garden area in EPCOT - they told me that they receive quite a number of requests from people wishing to have their ashes scattered at WDW. They have honored some requests by using the ashes as fertilizer - they add nitogen to the soil - they mix the ashes in with other feterilizers and basically the remains help "make Disneyworld grow."

So KingTriton, I guess you, mee, and Uncle Chuck will be roommates. See you!

Really? That's interesting..

 

[Immelman]

I never thought of the possibilty, but I kinda like the idea of letting some of me go on Space Mountain, but the scene from The Big Lowbowski comes to mind. eternity in Epcot? one day a month is too long for me.

As long as you spread the ashes in the area marked "smoking section", you should be alright.

As a nonsmoker, I would be very unhappy, forever.

 

[TheWho]

Actually, I think I have second thoughts about having my ashes spread at WDW. I have this vision of one of those maintenance guys (in the white outfits w/ the maps in their pockets) sweeping me into their dust bin while giving directions for the nearest toliet to some annoying tourist. Worst yet! I'd probably be sucked up by one of those loud vacuums we all hate.

I have joked about the same thing, however I am not into cremation(just something about fire and incinerators). I want to donate my body to science so others can learn. My husband, however does want to be cremated. I am trying to talk him into doing the same as me.... boy, would that be a lesson in what partying while you are young will do to a body!

I've got news for you; if you donate your body, it will be cremated when they are done studying it.
My grandmother and my dad both donated their bodies to the University of Wisconsin Medical School. I can't remember how long after their deaths it was, but we got a box of ashes (cremains) back afterwards. Part of the contract that my dad signed indicated they would cremate the body. I can't remember for sure, but I think my mom had the option of whether or not she would be sent the cremains afterward.

 

[MickeyCrazed]

and they could offer hotel packages to all of the attendees

Can you imagine calling for a Breavement Package???

 

[mmausse]

Oh Heck, I was "hoping" for my very own tombstone at Haunted Mansion.....

 

[VintageKnight]

doubt this would ever be widely advertised to the public.

In some religions(sp???) you cannot go into a building that you know has human remains. Its disrespectful i guess, This is why the Oklahoma National Memorial did not leave the unknown remains in a tomb on-site. it would have kept potential visitors from coming by.
