Question about your funeral. ???

[Quasar44]

What city? What did you do? How was the experience?

I never knew so many Jewish people could exist at one place !!
I did not connect at all but I have been an anti social odd ball all my life

You see a lot of young Jews with Uzis waking around too

I remember an interview with a Canadian Jewish woman in Israel. She made a weird comment but I suppose I get her point, she said she likes Canada because she is different there. Being Jewish in Israel is just being one of the "regular" citizens lol. It was an odd comment and I'm not sure if she was a practising person of Faith or just one connected via lineage.'

It is a country that needs to survive because as we are seeing worldwide right now, worse than I have ever seen in my lifetime' there are protests, rallies, open attacks and hatred towards Jewish people and Israel was reborn post-WWII for just this danger. It is a place for Jews to go "home" to.

This is a sad reality today and not enough people are really speaking about this. Similar to Christians around the world really but Judaism has the history of persecution.

Me cremated.

Ashes to ashes.

 

[Road Runner]

Bury me head first and halfway down so the world can kiss my ass.

Or better yet...

I never heard of this song or band before but I really like it. As for me, I choose to be buried next to my (eventual husband) and buried with my two favorite stuffed animals that I got when I was three and five years old. Patch the Dalmatian from 101 Dalmatians that I got from my Grandma and Pawpaw when I was three and my Simba stuffed animal that I got from my parents when I was five.

 

[Road Runner]

Taxidermy.

You're an animal?

 

[1srelluc]

My body will be cremated, my head will cryogenically preserved for future generations.

They will dry it out and play head ball with it.

 

[odanny]

They will dry it out and play head ball with it.

Just like Ted's head.

We all are.

 

[Road Runner]

We all are.

Not what I meant.

Donating to science might be the thing to do because I guess it helps students learn anatomy and whatever else they may be studying.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. How much is it to cremate a person anyway?

Cost of cremation can vary alot. Depends on your area, and the funeral home and whatever other services you want.

Just be very careful with the funeral homes that will play on your sympathies and guilt you into buying more than you bargained for. This had happened with my mother when my dad had passed. He had only wanted basic cremation and for the family to dispose of the ashes according to his wishes. She and I had went to the funeral home, got all the paperwork figured out, signed and paid for. Simple cremation, simple urn. But before we were to pick up his ashes, the home had called my mother and talked her into buying a 'shelf' on a wall that wasn't even built yet at the cost of several thousand dollars. I was pissed and ended up having an attorney friend contact them with a threat of a lawsuit, to which they backed off.

[playtime]

Are you not scared of being turned to ash ???
So eerie to think abiut

not to me. i'm dead, so what's the point? i am an organ donor & i hope they take as much of me that can help the living. to be honest - cremation is a lot quicker & cheaper than all that money spent only to slowly rot away 6 ft under.

You could go for a Sky Burial...

If anybody cares, if I went the funeral route I would love lots of yellow and peach roses draped over my cherry wood coffin

It’s hard to think about but Tens of billions of other humans have died in the past !
This makes it easier to acknowledge

If we care about a life lived and served honorably we don't want to be dismissed with an urn full of ashes that sits in somebody's garage or gets dumped in the ocean. Everybody wants a monument carved out of stone to commemorate the passing of a loved one.

we honor people by carrying out THEIR wishes.

that sits in somebody's garage

my father, mother, & brother's ashes are all withing beautiful oak boxes, with brass flowers along part of them. & they are in my living room.

or gets dumped in the ocean.

dumped? if someone goes thru carrying out what the only person that matters in that situation, it wouldn't be a 'dumping'.
