Here's a cheery topic...
I just went to my first funeral that was open casket. It was of a very distant relative that I never met but was very close friends with my Grandma.
It was pretty creepy I sat really far back and kept waiting for her to blink or something.
I used to think I'd go closed casket, but now I am thinking more that cremation is the way to go. That's the way my closer family members have chosen or have done.
Anyway, so would you go open, closed or cremation? |

PS-Sounds very appropriate for our forum crush! :)
C, I didn't get too close I was too creeped out. I have seen other dead bodies b/c of crimes but it's different when you know going in you're going to see a dead body vs. just being suprised.
This was southren so I do think there is a regional difference like you said kfs ;)

I think they did that with Gene Roddenberry's ashes. |

I want to be propped against a big white canvas and then have a huge weight dropped on my dead self so I smoosh some modern art all over the place and can be remembered by my gradually darkening splatter painting. |

How about a Viking burial?
I don't really care much what happens to me after I die. I mean, I won't be around for it, right? I guess I'll let the living decide.

I'm 31 years old and I've been to many funerals. I can only think of
one that was closed and 2 cremations. The rest were open. I thought
that was normal! I guess it depends on where you live (I'm from the south), the religion, or cause of death (bad accidents=closed). |

Nope. Not I. Kind of creepy, I think.

I'd like my corpse to be be given back to Mother Ocean.

Something involving fire and catapults.

I never really understood open casket funerals. A bit morbid in my opinion. I guess it helps with closure for some but why would you want your last memory of someone to be lying in a freakin coffin?
