When my time comes to leave this earth, I wish to be cremated. I do not want to be embalmed and placed in a coffin. I wish any organ, tissue , eyes etc ,anything that someone else could use, be donated. I then wish to be cremated. I would like to have a small memorial service for those who would like to celebrate the Me they once knew. No sad music, no Flowers....donations to the animal shelter or senior center would make me happy. I also wish for my ashes be scattered in the mountains that I spent so may fun times in the fall with my best friend.
My Mother is irate because she feels the coffin and burial plot the whole ppackage deal is whats the right thing to do. ...My theory.....We are only here to use this body, once our souls leave and go on to heaven, this body can go back to dust. We will no longer need it. So, I really think cemetaries are for those who need to grieve and can't get it out of their system. I for one have learned to live for today and tomorrow. Once I'm gone, thats it ladies and gentlemen! Remember me for who I AM or was! Any feedback on this would be most appreciated! Thanks!

A little stoy that I find soooo ture. My mother and I where driving in a car one day and there was this really hunkie looking guy on the street. no shirt on tight jeans, tan.. you get the picture.. Any ways, I said WOW man oh Man what a hunk.. My mother in her 60"s say he sure is. It surprised me and I ask her if she still looked at men like that and she said heck yeah.. SHe told me the hardest thing about getting old is you don't ever feel your age on the inside. Oh, you feel the age and you are a little wiser, but you still look at things the same way it was when you are younger. It's just the out side that reminds you your older.. As the years go on I know just what she meant..
Fairly Godmother. from the things you have said, I think you are a special person. Don't argue with your mother. SHe will pass before you and then you can do what you want. And you will meet again in heaven.. Where age won't matter..

I think if you wish to be cremated then so be it (:
I think it is wonderful that you are 50 & that you can
relate to us, you seem like such a joly soul & I hope that
your years are the best ever & I surely know that if anything
happens to you we will all be in grief & loss.

Amanda, I plan on being here another 50 years. Girlfriend if you saw me, you'd flip out TOTALLY. I do not look 50, or act 50 nor do I ever want to get old. My heart and soul will stay young 4-ever.......... I can relate because I put myself into the position of when I was the age of the person asking the question. I remember what its like to be a certain age wth questions yet, I had no one to answer them........When I wrote this, I was thining about my father whom I just lost last year. Funerals are such a waste of time and money and make a perons fell worse than they could already. Just remember me as someone who cared and tried to make you laugh! I care about you people on eHealth........God has given me multiple chances on life and I for one appreciate everything around me.........just not material things! HUGS!

Hi Fairy*Godmother....I'm older than you as you know and probably headed for the great pow wow before you....So, I think about this stuff a lot myself, like prfctbyntre....I think you know me well enough to know I have a similar outlook on life and live for today and not in the past. Therefore, I feel that age is a body thing and not a mind thing.
This is just a long way of saying what you have outlined sounds good for me, too. I have wanted to be cremated for a long time and you seemed to have thought of everything. I would like my ashes scattered in Colorado from the top of a mountain I picked out a while back.
Good job.

My son attends preschool at a church and this past week a girl age 16 died. She told her cousin and sister one week before her tragic accident (horse accident) that if she were to die, she wanted to donate her organs...everything they could. I think she said this on her 16th birthday. Her organ donation has given a longer life for seven people. It was quite ironic that she said this on her birthday and just a week before she died. If she didn't say this, she would have been buried without the organ donation. Glad to see her wishes came true.

I'll be 50 this year as well..I get inspiration from you.
You and I are cut from the same cloth it seems.
When I die I want to be creamated and although i really dont care that much what anyone does with my ashes,If I had my druthers i would like to be taken to San Francisco Bay and thrown into the water...and maybe dump some in the sandy beach and make a sand castle out of me!
LOVE ALWAYS,
Homer

Why do you believe that of after life
why is it that you believe we go strait to heaven or another place where in the bible does it say that. And why worry about what happens to us when were gone, ashes to ashes dust to dust!

Why do I believe my soul will go straight to Heaven? Once you've come close to deaths doors, you may understand. There is no way I could begin to explain to you WHY I BELIEVE what I do. This is what makes everyone unique...we are all different and all have different beliefs....I have NO worries about when I am dead and gone. I do not fear death. I believe our bodies are like a shell...we will have no use for them once dead. Who's to say I am wrong or right?
