I've already written this all down. I want to be cremated (after the doctors and scientists have taken whatever they want) and for my ashes to be scattered. Haven't decided where yet. I'd like the following poem read: When my lungs come to rest and I've thought my last thought and I've pennies for specs and my vive has turned mort... When I've kicked at the bucket and shaken a seven and bench-pressed some daisies and tried to make heaven... When my boot soles stop wearing and Reaper's close by and a grey undertaker packs me up for the ride... When I'm fast losing weight and fluids and skin and achieving my goal of becoming quite thin... When I'm subterranean sleeping with worms and no longer fearful of picking up germs... Remember me, remember me but not as an idiot. Copyright; Stephen Cree

Can't say as I am that fussed what they do with my bod when I've stopped using it but have informed all that any funeral procession must do at least 30mph, only daffodils as they are my favourite, if my sister cries my hubby is to tell her she should have phoned whilst I was alive LOL. For music I would like 'Lets go Crazy' by Prince and the one by Maroon 5 that goes 'is there anyone out there cos its getting harder and harder to breath' Julie xxx

my Mum wants to be cremated in a green cardboard coffin,she wants Reach Out by The Four Tops and Jerusalem played and no one and i mean no one is to wear black. i have told her though that i will wear black(shes agreed,finally). Me, i want to be buried(please remember this just incase someone wants to roast me),i want everyone to be in black, ladies please feel free to wear one of those lace things over you heads,coffin full of flowers,only white,pink or purple flowers,no chrisanths or canrnations(please). i want full blown sadness that i've gone---everyone crying buckets.and after all that a huge headstone.---sorted :-))

When I'm gone, I'd like to be cremated to avoid being dug up by some future 'Tony Robinson' character for a TV programme that hardly anybody watches. I'd like my ashes mixed with those of my beloved dog, who died in 2003, and scattered in water in a few chosen places - one in Surrey, one in the Isle of Wight, one in County Durham, and one in Russia. As my husband is younger than me, I doubt I'll outlive him, but if I do, then some of his ashes would also be mixed with our dog's to be scattered in Surrey, but some would be scattered in Hertfordshire - plus, of course, White Hart Lane.

Love the idea Joe but I think that would constitute a rocket & we dont have much luck with rockets in this country. They tend to turn round & come back to ground. I want to be sure this old overcoat of mine is well & truly disposed of. Vivienne

Vivienne, Seems you are getting the heat and then fireworks - why not have a large enough firework and have it ALL over in one go ? like Tesco - 2 for the price of 1.

I've told my family when I go I want my dogs ashes to be with me, I lost him earlier this year. I've threatened to return to haunt them if they don't do it.

They say you can't take it with you - but I am taking my collection of CDs and my mobile when I fall off the perch in a couple of years, maybe more or less. Then only problem I forsee with the mobile is getting it charged up wherever I may find myself (and sincerely hope it doesn't melt). So anyone wanting a call from the otherside form an orderly queue and keep it short so that others may get a turn. I asked the solicitor to put in my will that my mortal remains be placed on the compost heap down the garden - but he declined so it will be someone else's decision, not mine. I shan't care len

It would be like star dust Kaye

I have this image of the firework going up, making a big bang and then everyone getting covered in your ashes LOL! Not sure how they would take that? K

Sorry Joe, Bad English My daughter took a course in pyrotechnics & laser display. She took courses in lots of things, just to prove she could once her dyslexia was diagnosed but I don't think cremation was one of them. Vivienne

Lucy, lolol. xx

Bendy - I want - 'now do you believe I'm ill?' Lucy x

It's in my will that I am to be buried - even if it's standing room only. Can't bear the thought of cremation. I honestly could not incinerate someone I loved. My headstone has to have a suitably witty, sarcastic or humorous inscription - I'm racking my brains to find the perfect epithet.

Marianne Love your finish - possibly the nicest on the channel - so I hope you won,t mind me making a parody of same. 'Make my wife into a brooch'. good idea, I married for love and since then have had no peace. (TIC) happy days

I have organised everything and paid for it - morbid or what - its just that I want it done my way. Although I live in Wiltshire I will be going back to North Somerset in the family plot - would rather feed the worms than be burnt. Hubby is being cremated so he will have to wait to have his ashes put in my coffin if he goes first . I said he will be kept on the Co-ops shelf. LOL !!!! Liz

I have read an article which says that you can have ashes turned into jewellery. May get the other half turned into a nice brooch or necklace. What do you think? LOL Love and Peace Marianne. xxxx

Joe! LOL.... Vivienne, I think that is a great way to go off! XXBC

Joe, My wife did the same, although she calls it toast. happy days
