How do you wanna be buried?

[Nads]

Been thinking about this lately. I'm only 42, but only God knows how long I've got.
Here's what I want to take with me.....
A Packard valve cover, OHV V8 only.
The hood badge off my Consul Capri.
Pictures of my wife and kids.
Tin snips.
A copy of the Koran, I don't know if the mullahs are gonna dig that request, fuck 'em I want it anyhow!
An E bass guitar string and one copy each of my musical output.
A hula hoop and a crescent wrench.
A little bag of Lumen Food's Wild Jurquee.
Also I don't want a coffin, a simple sheet will do, I wanna be eaten by worms and replenish Mother Earth as quickly as possible.
I don't want no ranting and raving about one religion over another, that shit's all man made.
I want my homies and compadres to be drunk and silly and have a big ol' sing song.

That's about it, how about you?

[rickyracer1962]

I want to be wearing my 'fuck me i'm mexican' t-shirt.

[Tinbender]

I wanna be cremated(sp)and have my ashes slowly poured down the carb at W.O.T. of whatever rod I have at the time.

THIS IS DIRTY!!!!!!
i saw titus's comedy show a couple weeks ago. i know hes is hated here, but hes funny. he talked about how his dad just died, and before he died he told titus that he wanted to be in a cardboard box at his funeral and to let everyone that he ever pissed off in his life to piss on him. then creamate his body and put his ashes in a doushe and find a hooker to let him have one more shot. sweet huh? -jeff

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">Funny you should ask this question as Mama and I buried a 23 year old friend yesterday.

It occured to me, as I watched them carry his casket to the thing that lowers it into the ground, that I don't.

Cremate me.

I won't give a crap what you do with me after that.

I do like the top fuel idea.

I'd probably just foul the plugs.</font>

Face down so the world can kiss my ass.

Seriously, cremated, big ole drunk party for all my friends ( 12 pak oughta cover it) with the money normally spent on a casket, traditional things, give everyone a chance to say what an asshole i was. Put my ashes in a Folgers coffee can, tie it to the back of a Harley with straight pipes get up to about 120mph, take the lid off, scatter me to the wind. Seriously.

[MercMan1951]

Don't bury me, drop me,

At any NSRA event...

Anywhere on power park row would be fine.

From about 2000 feet up.

Somebody would have to videotape it...

"Do you hear a whistling sound?"

"yeah look up there, it looks like a 300lb white guy wearing a HAMB t-shirt and a kilt falling from a helicopter"

"Oh my God! he isn't wearing any underwear!"

WHUMP!

"Hey, he didn't pay his entry fee!"



...I really need to go to bed.

[Corn Fed]

Interesting that you post this topic. Yesterday I went to the funeral of a fellow rodder. Besides there being 40+ rods there, guys wearing jeans and tee shirts, the most fitting was my departed friends last ride. They loaded him in the back of his 'Ole Blue 50 Chevy pickup, draped an American Flag over his casket, and his best friend and fellow rodder drove him to the cemetary. Then all the rods followed. Larry woulda loved it. That's the way to go.

[SKR8PN]

My wife has standing orders to:
(A) scrap out any parts of me that anyone else can use(organ donor)
(B)Burn whats left
(C)Load some of my ashes into 12 guage shotgun shells,and go shoot some trap with me.
(D)Sprinkle a few of my ashes in Lake Erie,from the back of one of my JetSki's@70 mph. Fuck you if don't like it.
(E)Take some of my ashes to the local dragstrip and put me on the starting line,preferably during a SS/AA finals.
(F) Take some of me for one last ride on my hog and set me free.
(G)Whatever is left,put in the douche bag,and run me thru one more time.And after that.......
(H) Get all my friends together,because I am going to buy them one last round............

[kustombypook]

Under ground. That is the only way I know of burying something. Who really cares, when you're dead you won't know what happens to you anyway.

[Zor]

4t64rd,
that was fucking brilliant. that nsra show in tampa was the biggest bunch of bullshit that i have ever been to.

[nor cal nic]

first, i wanna' die peacefully in my sleep as my granddaddy did, not screaming in terror like his passengers...

[TINGLER]

4t64rd,

That was pretty fuckin funny. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif


How do I wanna be buried? I don't. I believe that if you truely want to you can live forever.

So have simply chosen not to die. Easy as that. End of story.

Plus who the hell is gonna prove me wrong? If I drop dead, are you gonna tell me "I told ya so"?

[Deyomatic]

There is a junkyard in Orange Massachusetts (called Riverside) and there is an old newspaper article on the wall about someone (not sure if it was a woman or a guy) that wanted to be buried in their car. I think it was an early 60's Chrysler, sorry I don't have the details, it was a long time ago since I've been there. The picture showed them lowering the car down into the hole.

dig that car up, rebuild it, and use the old farts bones as ornamentation...then sell it on ebay as a novelty item..

[Deyomatic]

With the weather as it is in New England, I'm assuming it is there, my guess is that there wouldn't be much left of it by now. Who knows, maybe being under ground would be better than the salt exposure? I know I'd rather be underground than live back there again. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[plan9]

a rotting corpse would do wonders to the upholstery... dont think id touch it with a 10ft pole..

wonder how many people were buried in their cars unwillingly by the mob http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[burndup]

For some reason I wanna be buried at sea, yep, tossed over the side. fish food.

For the life of me I can't figure out why.

[TINGLER]

I believe the artist Edward Kienholz (sp?) was buried in his car. A big ol Packard if I remember correctly.

You all would be suprised at what survives underground. My wife and I dug up some graves once. The graves were from the 1860's and lots of stuff was preserved. I went into one where the jacket was preserved (big Lincoln lookin thing). False teeth, buttons, bones, casket wood, material, shoes, and even a brain or two....although they just looked like old potatos to me.
Before you think we are grave robbers or something, I'll explain. My wife usta be an archeologist. I went on a few digs with her. The one I just explained was a situation where the graveyard needed to be moved for a development of some sort. We got paid to do it.

It was really wierd diggin into a grave. For the most part people just turn back into dirt. Gray, slimy, greasy dirt. And that was the worst part of it. Feeling that dirt. Weirdest feeling ever.

Me? Just bury me under whatever tree I happen to slam into.
...unless I'm killed by a jealous husband. If that happens, slip a pair of her panties in with me, and then tell him about it after they "pang" the last scoop of dirt on my grave with a shovel. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Wouldn't that just piss a guy off?

A good friend of mine got killed dragging his car on the street " back in the day" and they burried him in his work clothes with the shifter handle from the car in one hand and a 9/16 th open end in the other and smeared grease on his hands . As the funeral passed his house on the way to the cemetary they stopped and let all the cars do little burn outs in front of his house . He would have loved it. Miss ya Frank,

[Rocky]

Part me out [organ donor] and haul the shell to the crematatory. Smoke me and send the little box to Oregon where someone can drive my ass up the Rowena loops and cast the ashes to the wind that blows up the Columbia river gorge, 'zactly like I did with my dad's remains... THEN....I'll have peace.

[Sailor]

At sea.

[tommy]

Cremate my ass (the rest too) and sprinkle me in a junk yard so I can rest comfortably for eternity.

[Machinos]

I don't really care as long as I'm not embalmed. Ughhhhh. I've only ever been to one funeral "visitation" in my life and I hope I never have to go to one again.

[raven]

4t64rd,
That's one of the funniest things I've read here yet.
After reading some of the suggestions here, I think I'll alter my plans.
The burnout in front of the house idea is great. That would really get under the skin of most of my neighbors (I live in a quiet suburban hood).
I also like the idea of throwing my casket in the back of my '54 Chevy truck and parading to the where ever.
And afterwards, of course one big cookout at my old place.
Remember, you're all invited and expected to show.
Just to show off the neighbors if nothing else...

[Dago Red]

VonTingler,

Where was that cemetery? I was on a cemetery project here in Delaware, and we found every single thing you mentioned. I worked there for nine months, and saw more nasty stuff than anyone should ever see.

Worst fuckin job I ever had.

Definitely cremate me. I don't want any possibility of being dug up 150 years later by a bunch of drunk/stoned shovelbums.

[Antibilly]

I wanta be buried between some old ladies legs....

[Nads]

4t64rd, that's one of the funniest things I've ever read.

I was thinking about having my body dumped from an overpass onto i-4 during rush hour traffic. I may not amount to much in life but maybe in death I can create a traffic jam.
Junkyard dog that's a good idea about bringing the swazi gas pedal too. I don't know why I even said about taking the Koran, because I can't even read it, but who reads when they're dead? I still know some of Koranic prayers as I do Christian ones. I was extremely fond of the theology class we had in high school, one of my favorites actually.
It's just that I have this feeling that there's something beyond this. It's probably based on what I was taught and also based on the idea that I want to see my loved ones again.


Life was so much easier when I was a hardcore atheist.

Hey RumblerRock, that funeral sounded like a blast.

And yeah I gotta agree having seen one viewing my whole life, ain't no way I wanna be embalmed.

[Mike]

Don't waste any real estate on my corpse. Cremate me and drop me in the ocean off of Light House Point in Santa Cruz while playing Link Wray's "Jack the Ripper" very loudly.

[Sailor]

I can relate to that, Mike.

Only I want the lighthouse to be Tonjer, just outside Haugesund on a particular stormy day in the late fall, so I have the chance to pull a "Big Lebowsky" on my friends, -one last hug sorta...
Plus I want the sounds to be Fender Four's "Margaia".. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[beatnik]

Cremate me and then put my ashes in what ever is my favorite car at the time and give it to some young Hot Rodder who's worthy of it.

[Drive on]

Cremate me, put me in a urn, pinstrip it and auction it off on the board! Let the winner decide what to do with it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Cremation is the way to go. You have to do something (legal) with the body so make it cheap.

[12packo94s]

don't have to worry about it

all my organs are pickled from whiskey and yeagermeister, so i'm pretty sure i'm gonna live forever

[just steve]

Funerals are for the living. A friend of mine says that in his family, all you need for a wedding (besides a bride) are a pig, a keg, and a field. That should apply to funerals, too. I want a big-ass kegger in a field, with lots of Irish drinking songs.

No stone, no marker, no grave . . . cremate me and put my ashes in a cardboard Chinese takeout container. Anyone who comes up with a creative way to dispose of them can take a coffee-scoop of ashes in a Zip-loc bag and do with them as they see fit.

Hoping that someone has the sense to mix some of me with the oil they use to make the big black line at Bonneville, though. That'd be cool.

later,
Steve.

[straykatkustoms]

Cremate me and pour me into a case of Quaker State &amp; put me in the ground. My wife says she is going to throw my body in my old 55 Chevy and bury the both of us. After I told her what she could sell the car for she realized that the case of oil would be cheaper.

Happy Trails,

I told my wife I wanted to be dressed in blue jeans, a denim shirt and whatever workshoes I'm using at the time. A shop rag in the pocket would be a nice touch (just not a clean one). I don't want anyone coming to the funeral and not recognizing me. What ever happens to me after that is up to whoever is in charge at the time, I won't have much to say about it.

Then the ambulance staff got here and got me going again.




The cemetery were my parents have plots (and my mother is buried) had a junk yard accross the highway from it. The cemetery is over 100 years old and was there first. The cemetery bought the junk yard, closed it down and has developed it as Phase II of the cemetery. I bought "choice plots"........right where the engine pile was.

I told my wife to just put me in a Hefty bag and leave me at the curb. If it wouldn't be such a pain in the ass for my kids and/or surviving friends, I'd like half my ashes tossed from a vintage jet boat on Lake Havasu, and the other half packed in a chute of a roadster at Bonneville.
