All in the thread title question.
I want to be cremated. And my ashes scattered in the Irish Sea.

Bloody hell. Two threads to do with death today. How cheery. But I'd be cremated. I'd like to do the pure cremation so it's cheaper for my family then hope they would all have one hell of an amazing party afterwards to a playlist that I have made of songs I have a special connection to or have loved all my life. I know people will be sad but I want my life to be celebrated. I want my ashes scattered in a theme park. They are my happy place.

Ah yes I totally agree on the songs thing.
I've thought of another cheery thread....

Well I would want my family to go with Cremation.
I don't want to be a financial burden to the people that I care about.

I want to be mummified, and then put on a plinth beside our Eleanor Cross.

Buried. But someone else will have to pay for my funeral. The council I expect which could be anything.
I'm not bothered. I won't be there to see it. :p

I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered by the sea in Spain I have already told Mr C and my boys where and given the exact spot so there is no wondering, I think everyone young and old should have their wishes known as it takes the stress of doing the right thing off the family, Mr C doesnt care about being buried or cremated so I told him he would be cremated and scattered with me, we will then have a little plaque put on mine and his Mum and Dads grave indicating where our final remains are... :laugh:

Ideally, I’d like to be buried, but for financial reasons cremation is much more likely. As a compromise, I think ashes can be buried in areas designed for woodland burials, and I like the idea of resting forever in the peace and tranquility of a natural landscape, forever surrounded by birdsong.
My more wacky and humorous side has always had the urge to have the lengthiest of my outrageously long fingers buried in an antique tomb shaped box I have, with the inscription, ‘Here lieth the finger of…..’ with my name and dates! My fingers have been the butt of great amusement in life, and my sense of humour would like them to continue to do so long after I have gone! It also amuses me to think of the bafflement and speculation it would cause if discovered in a few hundreds years time!
Guess these two ideas show the main features of my personality.

I want my ashes put into fireworks and shot out over the ocean at Arpoador
I want my ashes spread over a huge bed of Bluebells in a beautiful forest overlooking a meandering stream .. then I can pop once a year , for a while , to have a look around

Cremation and kids will chuck my ashes off the Clifton suspension bridge, the side facing the Bristol Bears stadium.

Ashes are going to be made into jewellery for the kids.
