Oh forgot to add that our ashes will be kept until all are in one box then scattered out side the place we met on a windy day xxhugxx

I have said in my will I would like to be cremated, so no headstone.Ashes to be scattered with Mum & Dad. Will is sorted, our 4 children benefiting equally, if we all go together it will all go to childrens charities. Heather x

In answer to the original question, not under the wife! Derek in France

you are not alone, i went to mils funeral last week, she was cremated, i find that so i cant find the words, no where to put flowers, mondays my mums birthday and ill go up to her grave today/tomorrow and put some flowers there for her, its nice to have some where to put flowers,

Cremated and ashes scattered off the Chicken Rocks, Isle of Man. Ny Dad's went there in 1958 and my roots are Manx. Ann

I'm in 2 minds. on one hand I want to be buried and have a head stone but on the other had I want to be cremated and then interned with a tree planted on my head. either way the only will I have ever written is not leagally binding and was written when I was 11 (I convinced myself that I would die from a tonsillectomy), but I had written the order of service complete with hymes, reading and eulogy a few years ago and I'm happy with that. I can only hope my parents would follow through my wishes and share what little I have between my brother and cousins. *note to self:- Make a flameing will*

hiya gerri, my mil bought a plot for 4,me and my hubby and her and hers, the other week she said i am not frightened of dying, i just want us all to go together, i said no thanks i am not ready just yet lol.I was looking at death notices the other day (funny they all die in alphabatic order) and one woman requested no flowers, saying buy something nice for yourself instead, not seen that before x

grave 4 me cheapest box no black ... people 2 wear there fav clothes no flowers then off 4 a drink and lol if i go 2 morra all my family know all this so just hope they do it 4 me

Family grave in Burnley Cemetery in Lancashire. Want repatriation no matter what!! Don't want to lie in some foreign field!!! Made a will with all stipulations and money set aside. Making your wishes known is the least anyone can do for the family. Hazel

Not fussy really. When I'm gone I'm gone! I don't like the idea of people who love me visiting a grave, I wont be there. As long as they remember me, I'll still be alive. Deanna X

I haven't decided yet, but my Dad wants his his ashes wrapped in a copy of the news of the world and to be flushed down the toilet to the music 'theme from a summer place' not sure if I can oblige....................

I think I've answered this before. Not made a will, nothing much to leave & what there is they can all fight over or put in a skip as my son reckoned he would do with all my junk. I hope they would get enough from saleable bits to pay for a good party during which they will set off the giant firework my youngest will have made containing my ashes. I have no grave marker or crematorium plaque for my lovely man, I have a lovely photo of him & my dad in my living room, beside which there is always a vase of flowers. He is always with me & I think of him every day not just on some anniversary. I hope my family will do the same for me. Vivienne

I want to leave my body to medical science. Haven't a clue how to go about this.
