So...odd question.

[BabyPiglet]

I was telling my mom about the whole "Ashes being spread around at Disney" thing and we started talking about it. I've always always hated the thought of being buried and forgotten. For a few years I've said I wanted to be cremated and put in one of my family members house (ex: future daughter/son's, future husband's, my parent's, etc) Someone who loved me.

I wanted to be in their house because then I'd be around life. Someone would see me everyday and think about me. Yeah yeah it sounds selfish but oh well. I just don't want to be put in a cemetary and forgotten about. Also the thought of being buried wayyyy down in the earth. ECK.

ANDDD, I know I probably won't know if I'm in a cemetary or house after I die, but yeah.

So I was just reading wikipedia about cremation because me and my mom were disagreeing about how long you stay in the "burner" thing (forgot the correct name). And it really started to freak me out. I won't repeat the things here but yeah. Now I'm not sure. All I know is I do not want to be buried.


I know we're all just teenagers and this is a weird and morbid question but have any of you thought about if you wanted to be buried or cremated?

Have any of you thought about organ donation. I don't have it on my drivers liscense yet but have been thinking next time I get it renewed I might put it on there. (In AR if you're a registered organ donator you have it marked on your drivers liscense).

Anyhooo, have you thought about organ donation?

Just some weird things I wanted to get off my mind.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Yes I have many many times

I told my parents if i ever died at an early age (which seems to be popular in my family)

that I would wanna be burried next to the rest of my family so we would all be together at last

 

[::Snow_White::]

I've gone back and forth with this alot.
I would want to be buried but then I'd think and I don't want to be stuck in the earth and rot away.
But then when I think about cremation just the whole burning kinda freaks me out.

So I'm still deciding that. I'm leaning more towards cremation though.
And it's alot of the same reasons you do. I would rather be in someones house who loves me instead of being buried in a cemetary.

My family however I don't believe would agree.
I don't know any family member that have not been buried and i'm not sure my family would be very keen on me being cremated.

I don't have my drivers liscense yet either but I do plan on being an organ donator and have it on my liscense.

I cant decide. I get so so so so scared thinking about death...


I need to know how to overcome that fear.

 

[bugabri]

im terrifed about the whole death stuff but we all have a full life ahead of us and we shouldnt even be worried about all of it but n e way i would want to donate my body so others would be able to benifit and live their lives happily cuz i sure as heck wouldnt have a use for them anymore and then be cremated and scattered someone i have grown to love

agreed totaly



I say why not donate your organs. If your deadscared1: ) then what does it matter I guess.

 

[Nascar48]

Well I really don't like the idea of my body burning or being in the ground surronded by dirt so I think I want to be put in a mouseleum that one of my grandma's is in. Also I think my mom said she wants to be put in their too.

 

[Pearls]

I honestly don't know.
Being cremated kinda freaks me out. Not the part about being burned, just not existing any more. I would just be ashes. I don't know how to explain it.
At the same time, rotting six feet under isn't very appealing, either. I don't want to get all rotty and gross. I mean, what if ants somehow got into my coffin? Ewewew.
Maybe I'll be mummified.

And as far as donating my organs goes, I'm cool with it as long as they're on the inside of me, and the stitch me back up all pretty. Heart, liver, lungs, whatever, take em. Just not my eyes. :| I don't care if thats selfish, if I'ma be dead, I'ma look good.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

I haven't thought about it much.
Death scares me so much! But I think I want my organs to be donated and then have myself cremated.
I hate bugs and would rather not have my after life surrounded by them..

 

[BabyPiglet]

Just thinking about all those bugs on me really really creeps me out.

FYI, I am absolutely terrified of death. I believe that we just don't exist anymore (like we went to sleep) but at the same time I want to believe in reincarnation or something. I want to keep living, I don't ever want to be just...nothing.

...Yeah all that sounded better in my head.

I completely agree with everything you wrote.
But I believe in reincarnation and the after-life.


I'm completely terrified of bugs,why the heck would I want to rest in peace on top of them? lol

 

[BabyPiglet]

If I'm just sitting here, and I find an ant or fly or some other weird bug on me, I completely go nutso. I just wanna get in the shower and get off any other bugs I may have on me. Lol, I usually walk around the house all nervously, without sitting down, feeling tingling everywhere and thinking theres yet another bug on me.


Yep, it's weird I know.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

Lol.

If my brother say's he has a lizard or a bug and he walks near me,( even if he doesnt really have one) I will scream SO high-pitched.
My mom one time was like "I think you broke my ear-drum."

 

[minniesBFF]

My mom and I were actually talking about this yesterday.
My mom told me that there is absolutely no way that she will allow us to cremate her. She wants to be buried in a pine box with no vault in a green cemetery somewhere. She said ," I'm gonna be dead, so why would I care if my body is preserved for 100 years after I die."

I honestly wouldn't want to be cremated either. I just find the idea of my body inside a furnace turning to ash incredibly creepy. But then again, I'll be dead, so I won't really know what happens to my body.

And I do plan on being an organ donor, but I don't have my driver's license yet, and that's really the only way to state that you want to be an organ donor in Iowa.

 

[imabrat]

Unfortunately,at a young age,I have thought about this,because of my disease.
Even though it is very unlikely I will die.

I feel the same way.
As much as it freaks me out,being cremated is probably the way to go.
I don't want to be forgotten,and to be around life.

And I'll be an organ donor.
Why not?
It would be better to potentially save someone's life,rather than to just let everything rot/burn away.

 

[DisGirlAllie]

I definately want to be buried on the *insert Allie's last name* family burial plot.

 

[Babyjustrun]

I don't know whether I want to be cremated or not. I don't like the thought of being buried (like body still together, not burned) because I don't like the idea of eventually, all I'll really be is compost.

If I got cremated... I'd probably still get buried. I don't like the idea of giving my ashes to someone, because they might not want them. I read an advice article about someone who wanted to basically just throw them away... I don't want that.
If I do get cremated, I want my ashes scattered at sea.

As for organ donor, possibly.

 

[nightmareb4xmas]

i dont think about deathh...
but i would probably want to be buried.
its the proper way to be put to death in my opinion.

 

[Disney.Ears]

I cant decide. I get so so so so scared thinking about death...

Same.

But as for the decision, I want to be buried. Next to my family in our family plot. I don't want to be in someone's house because, once they're gone....where am I going to go? To someone I've never met? Or..just, somewhere? I'd rather be next to those I've known and loved.

Like Pearls said, I'll be an organ donor as long as it's my insides. I love my eyes, and I want to keep them...it's selfish but I do. I'd love to help someone who really needs a transplant for something if I can't use what I have anymore.

This is a tough subject!

 

[Sparx]

i plan to have my body donated to The Body Farm, after having all my organs harvested. I would rather my body be of aid to someone needing an organ, or someone learning something new about the human body, rather than it just turning to dust or dirt underground.

I also don't want to be preserved. (since i plan to be donated to a place that does research on the decomposition process, i don't want to mess them up with formaldehyde.)

I would want a ceremonial burial (of maybe just the casket?) for my family. I've been to a lot of funerals, and I think that having a PLACE to mourn is helpful. There would be a tomb stone, and a plot, i just wouldn't be down there.

I don't really believe so much in a concrete afterlife. But I believe that there is SOMETHING else. Humans are greater than the sum of their parts. You can take my body, you can take everything i've said, you can take all the interaction i've had with people, but you don't have me. There is something else to me. Something that doesn't have a name. Something that I can't really explain in words. But there is something else. I've learned in science class that energy is never created nor destroyed. I believe that the energy that i'm talking about will just move on, past my body.

but thats just what i believe.
