What would you like to have buried with you?

Not long ago, our 19 y.o. cat died and we had her cremated. I told DSis that I didn't know what to do with her ashes, since I still hadn't done anything with the other cat's ashes. (died 5 years ago at almost 16 y.o.) I don't want to scatter the ashes when I know we won't stay in a house. Then I'd have to leave the "cat" behind. Can't bury the ashes for the same reason. I said that maybe when I died, I'd just cram the cat's ashes in the casket with me. She pointed out that I am short and will have lots of room by my feet for those two cats and many more. So that's my plan. Store the cats' ashes until I go and then take them with me. It's not Heaven without cats.

The thought of being buried skeeves me out- cremate me! And I don't need to take anything with me!

I don't know that I would want to be buried with anything in particular. For those with items that are special to them, I would prefer to leave them with a family member that would want that as a memento vs being buried with me. It would mean a lot more to them then it would to me.

I've had this conversation with a friend of mine (I'm 39 she's in her late 50's I believe) Anyhow, she's always told me that when she goes to make sure she has a can of Tab (she is addicted to Tab in a bad way lol) a REAL pack of cigarettes (she quit years ago but wants "the real thing" when she's buried lol) pictures of her kids/grandkids and the most important thing she said, was to make sure the make-up person paints on her eyebrows (since hers are BARELY there lol)

I told her to make sure I have my sunglasses on. LOL I LIVE with them now and can't go on without them.
