Where would you like your ashes scattered?

[PeterJB]

Slightly morbid question I know, but I went for a bike ride round the village this afternoon and stopped off in the church graveyard. Saw some names on headstones that I recognized and started thinking about burials and cremation. So I then thought, if when your time comes you'd like to be cremated and have your ashes scattered, where would you want that to be? For me the first thought that comes to mind is the garden of my childhood home, certainly wouldn't do it at school, cause I hated it, or my university campus, because by the time I've died I'll probably have greater memories than of my undergraduate years. So, for me, probably somewhere near the Royal Albert Hall, or failing that, Silverstone.

I always joke about getting stuffed and placed back on the sofa, failing that probably on a plot near my Nan and Brother.

 

[Danny]

Somewhere inconvenient so I can still irritate people after I'm gone.

 

[ibnumgt1]

Somewhere peaceful and has a beautiful scenery, I also don't mind being scattered on top of a fighter jet.

 

[TB]

still

When I die, I want my fat ass turned into a diamond.

I like the way you think.

 

[Rhykus Finlay]

I don't care what happens after I die. Make a cake?

 

[ibnumgt1]

I don't care what happens after I die. Make a cake?

From your ashes? Sure.

 

[Lizard]

I am going to chuck my mothers into the sea off a boat on a windy day and say thar she blows. JK.

Mine? Somewhere in Japan probably.

 

[ULTRAVIOLENZZ]

I want to comment...but...it gives me the chills.

That's neat... not sure how real it is, but it's a cool concept.

We are mostly made of carbon which is the same as what a diamond is made of. By heating and pressurising the ashes you can make a diamond. The issue is the process is incredibly expensive.

 

[Slash]

I want to be buried. Although I'm not really fond of the topic of death though.

 

[Bo]

On a racetrack.

Or mixed into race fuel as an additive. I hold secret powers.

 

[Famine]

Into Piers Morgan's coffee.

 

[Slash]

Into Piers Morgan's coffee.

You sir just won the internet.

 

[AudiMan2011]

On a racetrack.

I'm thinking the same. I'd want mine scattered in the gravel trap at Duffus Dip at Knockhill.

So MINI and Legends drivers can curse at you when they miss their braking point?

So Plato can something else to whinge about.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

I want to be placed onto the mantelpiece of my son's dining room, so when my granddaughter's boyfriend pops a champagne cork it hits the urn I am in and I'm scattered all over the floor. Then the cat pees on me.

 

[Ross]

Hopefully it's a long way off for me as I'm 16 but I want to be buried. However, if I was cremated, the diamond idea sounds great.

I'm familiar with the concept of manufactured diamond, I just didn't think it was something that could produce a gemstone... more along the lines of ugly diamonds used for cutting things.

 

[Xavier2342]

Somewhere along Hwy 1 near the Pacific Ocean.

I'm surprised that you're the only person so far to say that you want your rotting corpse preserved for all time in an underground capsule.

 

[adam46]

Paddock Hill Bend at Brands Hatch, or where I live currently, since it's been home to me all my life and it's so much more than a house and a garden.

 

[Ross]

I can't really explain it, it just sounds... better (to me at least).

 

[SlipZtrEm]

@Slash did too.

Me? I like to think it'll be far enough in the future that the whole commercialization of space travel will have become reasonably affordable. Stick my body in a rocket and point it straight at the sun: ULTIMATE CREMATION.

 

[Dean]

I'm as @Slash and @Ross, preferring a burial. No idea why. If got made into ash though, I'd probably just choose to get thrown up into the wind and end up where ever. I'm actually really in doubt about this, to be honest.

 

[Joey D]

I want to be mixed into the cake that is served after my funeral so everyone can eat me.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Preferably anywhere my ashes can directly be blown by the wind into the faces of people I don't like.
