Has anyone here made a "living will" where you leave instructions for funeral arrangements ? For example, what music you lik to have played at the funeral or memorial service.
There has been a discussion previously on the subject of funeral music so I will not bring it up again here.
However, do you have a special place where, if you are cremated, you'd like your ashes scattered?
I'd like to have mine scattered here
It's the Ardgroom Stone Circle on the Beara Peninsula in West Cork.

I've already decided this years ago - top field of my uncle's farm ( whether it is in family hands or not ) 3/4 way up, just by the point where it starts to level off, and slap in the middle of this point - so I can always see one of my favourite views ( usually with a blustery wind - fav condition to look at a vista ). I've never looked at it with binoculars and a map - but I feel like I can see from Ballymoe ( looking NNW ) to Athleague (SE) via Roscommon town (W) ( the farm is bang on the Galway / Roscommon border ), rolling fields, the River Suck miles away, looking like a large lake - sorry drifting away on my memories. The distant noise of a passing car 1/2 mile down the hill barely flickering my conciousness...
I don't take a lot of sights into my memory - and usually any familiarity ruins the joy - but this is for me my exception to the rule. If you killed me now with a promise my remains would end there, I'd be 1/3 happy straight away.

My mate knows where I want mine scattered................
Do not stand at my grave
and weep
I am not there
I do not sleep
I am a thousand
winds that blow
I am the diamond
glints on snow
Unfortunately my way of life "collects" a few.....
Cest la vie.....the sig says it all
I want to do like they do in Tibet, have my corpse taken to a mountain top, cut into pieces and eaten by vultures, then have what's left cut up even finer and fed to the vultures until there's nothing left.
They believe that the body after death is just an empty vessel from which the soul has departed, and so do I.
As for music......... Monty Python's "Always look on the bright side of life" should do it

I made my living will a couple of years ago before my brain op
I want my ashes to go back to the country I was born in which is Scotland
and to have them scattered where Otters swim
my swan song 'Fields of Gold' by Eva Cassidy

If I live to a ripe old age then ........ round the memorial tree of my grandparents in the Heritage Wood near here.

OK, I know this is suppose to be a little light hearted, but it is also quite thought provoking, so my input to the thread is this:
When I die, I’m going to be dead, (no shit?) will I really care where I am buried? Or where my ashes are scattered? Probably not.
So who will care? Well there’s my sons, and their children, my wife if she outlives me, and maybe a handful of very close friends, knowing the people around me as I do, they will want to mark the anniversary in some way, even if its just to pour Vodka on my grave lol. So is it me I should worry about when choosing a site? Or should I consider those left behind who will have far more use for my grave / ashes than I will, they will need a point of reference, somewhere to focus their grief, I will need nothing as I wont be there.
I suggest that it would be the fairest thing to let those who will grieve for you to choose your resting place, as it is them who will have to make the pilgrimage to reach it.
Just a thought

My mom is in a box by my tele - I can't bear to put her in a cupboard. I'm supposed to scatter her with my Dad when he goes - but he has married again!!! What confusion!!! as for me - I live in the Lake District but would like my ashes to be scattered somewhere really busy and full of life - I've had enough of peace & quiet!!!

I always wanted to be buried - I'd rather be eaten by worms than burned to cinders - but as the grave yard I wanted to be buried in no longer has plots left then I am considering spending my eternity as cinders (then I WILL go to the ball hehehehehe)....
So, I would like to be scattered either in these here woods, or at the bridge near the railway line where I scattered my dog's ashes.

Can I be the official SH ash scatterer? I'm fully licensed and trained and have my own ash scatterer to boot! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
You are supposed to have the permission of the landowner before any ashes are scattered but many people don't. Football clubs and the like will allow scattering of ashes but will charge you in the region of £50 for the privilege.
