When you die

[Andy in Germany]

The bigger question will be how the economy will cope with the week of national mourning.

You can put my name down for a commemorative mug. Or a fridge magnet.

Tell them to hold their horses I'm not yet available, it was just a cough after all.

It’s not the cough that carries you off it’s the coffin they carry you off in.

Sounds great. You can think of me every time you have a cup of tea.

But you do look like death warmed up which must be confusing people.

Organ donor and/or medical science. Although the medical science bods are picky and can reject your remains.

I've carried a donor card for 40yrs (since I rode motorbikes) but I doubt anything will be of much use now, as for funeral the cheapest cremation option for me, I've told Maz she can sell my Telecaster to pay for it.

Oh BTW did it ever become the rule that you had to actively 'opt out' of organ donations or did that fall by the wayside, I know it was being discussed some time back.

As far as I’m concerned I want them to harvest as much as possible and put it to good use and let nothing go to waste, unfortunately I feel they won’t strip me of everything useful and something will get binned that could have found a good home.

Part of me wants to stipulate it goes to a good owner but at the end of the day who decides who is worthy cause I sure won’t be able to at that point.

I think Wales is opt out but everywhere else is opt in sadly.

There will be a bag of broken bones when I die, given my current going rate.

Your scrap value will be excellent

 

[Levo-Lon]

Crem or a field in a wicker basket, dont care really.

I carry the card, so if its still ok then use it

 

[derrick]

I've thought about it but am a bit turned off by the prospect particually after watching a programme where a medical student in a hospital was carrying a human foot and lower leg...presumably for dissection or practice of some sort.
My overriding thought was...jesus, that was part of a living human with thoughts and feelings....its just something I can't reconcile in myself. It doesnt make sense but I can't get past that thought.

You will not feel a thing,

I consider it reaction training, keeps peeps on their toes.

It is spelt 'c e l e b r a t i o n '

Don’t think any bits of me left would be any use to anyone. I will be buried in our local cemetery beside my late wife of nearly 60 years. Probably just a graveside ceremony but I will not be there to decide. Most of my friends are already dead so not many beyond family.

Well it will be when i go..
