On a serious note folks, how many have you done this as yet.
I discovered that there are 2 vacant spots right next to my mother. I am trying to convince my wife that I must buy them before they are gone, So that I will be buried between the 2 women. She says them might fight down there if they are that close all the time 
I have also signed up for having my organs donated. Whatever they can use.

* The last person in my family to pass away was my grandmother---her wish was to be cremated.
* Everyone else in my family wishes to be cremated.
* I see chami wants her ashes spread over Niagara falls---what about the Kaieteur falls Chami---it's taller and more majestic than Niagara---but then again---you are no longer Guyanese----you are a Canadian.

no burial plot for me. My wish is to be cremated.
I've signed up as an organ donor from the time I got my first driver's license.

I have never known of a muslim being cremated. I prefer to be cremated. I do not own this earth. I am also a donor.

Buy an urn. Cremate yourself. A memory plot remains the property of t he sellers and in time they will resell the plot and bury someone on top of you.

*Hmmmmm!
* Yuh know---I have never given serious thought to this organ donor business.
* Lemme have a talk with the first lady tonight.
* Sounds like a caring and generous thing to do.

so you are NOT muslim right?
Correct. However, I do not see cremation as a religious process. I do have alot of muslim friends and when a member of their family dies, they do the burial; hindus do the cremation.

Cremation is not only for Hindus...
yes indeed, we all know that.
20 yrs ago, my friend who was born Catholic in Ireland,was cremated and her ashes are in lake ON
I was responding to SKELDON-MAN...
Time for me to take a HIATUS from GNI.

I agree cremation is not only for hindus. My wife who is catholic, would like to be cremated. I was just making a statement about my observation.
I would like my Gilbakka carcass to be chopped up and fed to animals in the Toronto Zoo. Story done.
I want my ashes mixed in paint and used on the walls of a ladies bathroom, yessss!!!! Iman could keep an eye on things.

I think it is a great idea to buy your plot so that your loved ones don't have to endure the added stress to find a place for you. Once you per-pay your plot the only added funeral cost is the service itself and the cost for the cemetery marker. Make sure that the pre-pay cost includes internment (opening & closing), installation of marker and a grave liner if required.
In a big city, plots are getting harder to find and you may end up very far from home and make it harder for people to visit you if they want.
I bought my plot next to my wife so that the kids can visit both parents in the same cemetery.

Morning Granny
Amral is getting his plots today and he will make it clear that his is the middle between his mom and wife
Cham I witnessed something that may sound funny.
One of friends died in 1991 and he he had an outside lady friend whose husband had died a few years before. The lady owned three plots at Rosehill Cemetary that were side by side. At the time of my friend's death she volunteered to the family to give him a plot, so when asked if it is the one next to her husband she said no, let it be the one at the end because when dies she wants to be in the middle.
She is still around though.

Be careful what you wish for Gilly.

Some people do not care. If they can want fire to burn them then be eaten by an animal is not bad either. At least someone got food.
While it is a good idea to but one's burial spot, I don't know where I would end up dying and may not be able to use it. When my cousin died in 1999, his family bought 4 sites next to each other. His mother (my aunt) was buried next to him when she died in 2000 and her other son who died in June is buried next to her. That places her between her two favorite sons. Then her husband who died in December was buried in the last of the four graves. That worked out well but I am not sure it will always work out that way. And since it will be the last time I get to get something from my family, I will have them take care of that when I go.
Regarding being an organ-donor, I too have heard that hospitals allow one to die instead of trying to save them if they have a donor card. Although it is also a good thing if one was to donate their organs after they die.

Ksazma, if the above happens it would be no big thing.
Seriously, I've already given my wife a signed last wish.
I want my corpse to be cremated as soon as she gets the provisional death certificate.
I want a cheap and simple funeral.
No public viewing, no death announcement. Only my wife, son, sisters, brothers-in-law, nephews, nieces and my old mother, if she is still alive, to attend.
Lastly, I don't want my ashes to be scattered over any waterway, but to be buried near a tree, any convenient tree, in Canada.

wow!!!
i cannot believe that the family of the sweetman would take that offer to llow another woman to be buried near him
...wonder how the children in both families feels
I agree. What did his wife think about this arrangement? Certainly she would not have care for it.

Good thoughtful response. While I agree that the dead body feels no effect of how it is handled, there is still the feeling of what is a respectful manner to dispose of it and none of the before mentioned manners are greater/lesser than the other. Well, none except of being cut to pieces and fed to animals.

Children were all young and they were under the impression that the two were family friends. Only a few of us knew of this runnings. Another popular GNIer was with with me when she made that statement.

The wife was not aware of his runnings.

this is my wish also
Certainly you don't want to just go missing from GNI and have us wonder what happened to you. Not so long ago, someone mentioned that Andre had passed away although there was not a formal announcement of it here. Makes it seem like pure speculation.

Not even at the time of the funeral? She didn't ask why the woman would be willing to give up a burial site? Those sites don't come cheap.
my dear, those who really matter on gni will certainly know through a 'relative' who also posts on gni...
so sad about Andre if it's true
It appears that the story about Andre is not correct. D2 said that Andre still post here, albeit under a different handle, I suppose.

Hopefully you live to be at least a hundred.

Family friend buddy!!! In those days at Rosehill it was around $900.

Cham I will not get a chance to see your beautiful face?
trust me if I do not go before you I will be there with my yellow Dhoti.
Cham according to Freak, Andre is alive and well and posts under another handle.

no no my dear, that would not suit me
i do not wish for such long life ...just a few more healthy years will do me fine (i pray that my parents go b4 me ...and then i am fine to go)
You is one brave woman. I cannot bring myself to pray that anyone or myself go. But if I may indulge, I would prefer to go before my wife because I don't think I can get by without her.
