We have threads about people growing up and living in NJ with plans to move or retire elsewhere. But when you die, where do you want to be buried? I had older extended family members who retired to Florida but wanted to be be buried in NJ.
OT: Where will you be buried when you die?
- Thread starter RU205
- Start date
Buried??? Not for me, cremated and scatter the ashes in several meaningful places.
Change the i to n in buried And frankly I don't care if my ashes are thrown in the trash. I will be dead. Also would be a homage to ash will trash us. @Plum Street
Same here. My wife and I will be BBQ'd with our ashes scatter in the Manasquan Ocean. Pretty much in front of this live cam as there are public benches along the path to sit for whichever one of us is still alive to visit. It's comforting to know we won't be 6 feet under, at least it is to us. We've been married 42 wonderful years and this is something we both agree on 100%. https://www.surfchex.com/cams/manasquan-web-cam/
My parents and grandparents are buried next to each other a few blocks from where I grew up. I visit with my kids every week. I plan to take the last family plot next to them
Cremation for me. And just to be a pain in the ass, I’ll leave behind a long list of hard to reach places where I’ll ask to be scattered.
Cremation for me and spread out in the ocean in Brigantine
I plan to live until RU wins the NC in football, MBB,WBB and Baseball the same year
Once that happens plant my ashes by a lake's shoreline , burying it with flower seeds and cut up fish as a fertilizer.

Then you better become a Vampire because you'll have to live a couple of centuries,lol.
I’m now in Panama and will be going back and forth between Colombia & Panama so half of me will be sprinkled in Panama the other half in Colombia 👍
I'm confident that construction of my pyramid will begin any day now.
We must have exhausted all OT topic to have where you will be six feet under.
I've asked for a 'natural' or 'green' burial. Wrap the un-embalmed corpse in a sheet and bury it 3 feet deep. A virtual smorgasbord for bacteria, worms, et al.
As far as where, I don't much care. Whatever is convenient, I suppose, although I do like surprises.

I haven't given that subject much thought. Figured I would wait until I got into my old age.LOL
I'll be going "condo", (aka: mausoleum).
My late Mom once told me years ago that she never wanted to think of me being under the ground.
To that I said, "But Mom, what if you go before me"? -To which she answered, "I don't care. I'll know". And as I'm sure many on here will understand, when an Italian Mom speaks...you listen.
So, it's gonna be condo city for me, baby.

I want to cryogenically freeze my brain so that I can be digitally transferred to a synthetic humanoid.
JUST so that 350 years from now, I might be able to see Rutgers win a Big Ten Championship

I find burial to be a waste of real estate. And most coffins look like a 1970s Cadillac. So corny. If I had to be buried I'd prefer a plain wood box, skip the embalming fluid. I've done enough already, don't need to be polluted in the ground as well. A viking funeral would be ideal.
Cremation and burial both have significant carbon footprint and expense. I'd prefer to be buried at sea (sunk off shore with a cinderblock). Is that even legal?
Don't Viking funerals have significant carbon footprints. Not to mention expenses.
I agree with that. Why subject anyone to feel like they have to visit a cemetery? I'll be dead. Let them remember me when I was alive.
I just turned 64 and been planning it for years. I have a list of things I want. I have a playlist for the party/service.
I will take care of the end myself situation permitting , including embalming by self consumption of massive quantities of Grey Goose. Should help in the barn fire I hope to top once I find the location willing to conduct the event.
Live band, open bar, overnight accomodations, etc provided.
Ashes? At one point on Rutgers football field. That's no longer an interest. I thought about creating a rather large container placed somewhere with an opening such that all my future family could just add their own ashes down the road so we'd all be together.
I do like the idea of finishing the party by putting my ashes in the rocket tubes and doing a huge party ending fireworks spraying me everywhere. In
Haven't really given it much thought.. lol.
Just buried my 85yo mother in law Wednesday .
Lived in spotswood NJ. Live Oak, fla. And most recently Pleasanton,ca. Buried in Staten island. makes sense right?
I'll take the $15k it cost us for a minimal burial ( only 3 of us at service) to fund my kick ass party.
I would like my remains to be scattered from an airplane over a Penn St football game in the 4th quarter ...and no, I don't want to be cremated first.

Make sure it's a "white out" game. For good measure....
Here's my story. Two years ago my father passes and was cremated. My mom had passed 20 years prior and was also cremated and in a massoleum. My father's new family gave me half his ashes to place next to my mom.
The cemetery was supposed have opened the faceplate for me to do this. When my wife and I got there the screws were loosened but not removed. After 20 mins couldn't find anyone to help. We had paid $600 for this.
I wasn't coming back. Had a screwdriver and removed it myself. Fracking heavy.
Part two. My father/mother never planned for this. No place to put his urn. Only option. We wound up finding a bag in our car. Took half my mom's ashes out. Put half my father's in. And only managed to dump about 10% on the carpet to be vacuumed up at a letter date
So we know where 45% are. Where 45% went. And the other 10%??no clue.
