What are your wishes regarding your end of life care and your funeral?

Answer 1

there will be NO end of life care for me. I will die like I live, with a bottle in one hand, and a sword in the other.

As for my funeral. It will be a traditinal Viking funeral, complete with burnging longship. And EVERY PERSON in attendance will be REQUIRED to get blind stinking drunk. Anyone who refuses will be ejected, or not allowed to atend.

Answer 2

Should i ever be involved in an accident or for some reason the ability to take care of myself and be on a life-support machine, then pull the plug. Don't ever want that. As for funerals, no way do i want a funeral, don't want to travel in a hearse [ brrrr] don't want to be buried, i am an organ donor and what is left of me must be burnt and chucked into the sea. Coming to think about it i don't mind being fed to some poor lion stuck in a cage at least that will give him a couple of minutes of pleasure.Chewing away. I will be dead, i would not care.
I don't want songs sung, i don't want hippocrates standing there waving my ashes goodbye, i want people to be truthful and say , hellll she was a nice person but she could be mean as well. That's the way i want it:))))

Answer 3

Well you know if I have to have hospice I'll have to have hospice. I hope I go in my sleep and not secured to many machines and feeding tubes and that I'll still have most of my wits about me.

I want a viking's funeral if possible , as I'm being cremated. My friends know to build me a small raft and put part of the urn on it ( my friends all over the world are getting parts of me in urns) and then let it burn or toss me to the wind . Hopefully my favourite music will be playing as they do this. They know what it is.

Then I've left enough money for the ones who are close by to go to a restaurant , have a party , tell great stories about me that celebrate my life and make them laugh. They can use the Marianne Williamson memorial one of her prayer books if they're so inclined to send me off .

Answer 4

In my sleep is certain. There will be no hospital trip. My funeral will have strict guidelines, It's to be my day, so no late arrivals. Two is there will be no service, only a party dedicated in my honor. I will be the host of the evening. Hosting it through video portrayal. When I'm gone, I'm gone. so they don't see the remains of what used to be me, there will only be my memory then, so that's what they'll get, memories. One last party to end them all. There'll be philosophy and they'll probably all get a copy of a couple of my books and that one movie "The Secret" because I believe it to be a wonderful way to go about living life. But they'll hear all of that in my initial presenation or toast, depending on how I make it when I'm filming the movie. My only thought will be whether or not i'll make a "reaction" to whether or not something crazy fun happening at the party and then having everyone feeling bad because I would never actually know about it. I'll probably explain that by their knowing, i'll know because I no longer live on earth but in each of them, and their knowing is my own, but that'll probably set everyone crying so i'll probably have to set it up cleverly to keep everything fun. There'll be a toast and games and so on. A nice feast. Probably a nice cruiseship tour afterwards. Like a vacation really. What am I going to do with all the money after I'm gone anyway. All that I request is that one day be totally and fully dedicated to me. No cells phones or pagers really. Just fun, and if that's too much. then No party for that specific person. They'll be removed. Much respect, to end it all. Then I expect them to go on with their lives. Not much crying at all, simply happy memories. They have to live. Not focus on someone who is gone already. Writing the answer to this question and the day I shoot the movie will be the only times when I'll ever think about life without me. I was never meant to see life without me, when i'm gone, i'm gone, that time will never come to me because it's my perspective viewing the world. I never think about death because I love to focus on living, it's all that I need to do, death and aging are set up automatically in the universe, I don't need to think about either of them and I don't intend to. I like to focus on living while alive, and I would hope others do the same.

Answer 5

I wish to go quick, so a private plane crash in the ocean would be OK (except for the fuel polluting the ocean)
or something calm, if the plane isn't available, like carbon monoxide while I listen to music.
Funeral ? Funeral pyre like the ancient Greeks, no molding in a box for me !

Answer 6

I hope to die old, but not having stayed in bed for decades with all these machines hooked up to me. I want to be active and productive up until my very last day.

As for my funeral, I want any useable organs to be donated and the rest of me cremated. I then want my ashes to be poured over Niagra Falls. I went there last summer and it was so magical I will never forget it.

Answer 7

I want my end of life care to be sensible. None of this playing God stuff, if it's my time then let me go. Also I want my funeral to be a celebration of life. I want everyone to know that I have enjoyed my life and everyone in it. I want them to understand that death is the final act of life and to rejoice in it.

Answer 8

By the time that happens I won't be bothered. My friends and relatives know to get rid of me the cheapest way possible (probably cremation) in a cheap box. Why should the only people to benefit from my death be the undertakers?

Answer 9

They can keep me on life support as long as they want as long as they don't take any pictures.

As for a funeral, I don't want one. Just a small party. I don't care what they do at the party as long as my body taken to the middle of the desert, and stuffed with fireworks (real ones, not the cheap ones you buy in a 50 pack that just shoot sparks).
Seven rescued lab monkeys, who are going to be euthanized, will do jello shots until they are drunk. Then, they will be given huge sparklers and pointed in the direction of my firework stuffed body.
If the monkey that sets of the fireworks doesn't die in the explosion, he will not be euthanized, and get sent to one of those zoos where they keep animals that used to be in movies untill they got too old.

Answer 10

I don't want to be kept alive by any means and no resucitation. Funeral by anyone who will conduct it. One song I want played is
shosholoza as it is "my" song. After that is cremation as don't want anyone to have to tend the grave. If I wasn't too old organ donation would be fine.
