The Third Post

So, have you thought about it? Do you know what you want to happen when the time comes?

I’ve put a bit of thought in to it, recently, because I have experienced loss and am facing the reality that my parents will not, in fact, live forever.

I used to say I wanted to be buried inside a concrete pod with a tree growing around me, but lately I’m super attracted to the idea of having my ashes compressed into a diamond that I can have set in a piece of jewelry of my design, for my children to pass down, and maybe even add themselves to over the generations. I think it would be a neat heirloom, to have a family protection amulet, don’t you?

I personally have never been one to visit graves, but I do see how it could help those left behind to have a place to visit, to talk to their loved ones.

The tumblr posts below are a humorous yet also attractive idea as well. A haunted cemetery forest is less likely to be chopped down in the name of progress, heck , I think it would be legally protected. Save the planet and haunt a tree!

What would YOU like to have done with what remains after you pass on?

NOTE: I can't find my original post for this one, and therefore also can't find the accompanying links and images. :(
