    When you die how would you like to go and why? The reason I say this is that my grandpa passed away last night and he wanted to be cremated. Their is so much drama going on with his kids that Im trying to figure out if it was someone else's choice.

    What is the drama? Is it religious based?

    Respect the old man's wishes, if that's what he wanted.

    Doesn't matter to me, really. What ever is best for my family. Being cremated is cheaper but if I was someone who wanted to be buried I would plain for it and leave some cash for that so I wouldn't be a burden.

    This Drama has to be a money issue.

    Oops obviously not a money issue. Don't understand why they don't want to go with his wishes. Maybe because your family wants a site to visit?

    It started with him having minor low chest pain, about 2 months ago. He was able to stand and walk. We took him to drs hospital and they just said he has 1 good kidney. They altered his medication to just 1 pill a day, he was a stroke patient. Next day at home he would vomit coffee liquid stuff so we send him to m.Herman and said it was an ulcer due to the medication. They went ahead and stapled the ulcer then shipped him to low level hospital due to insurance issues. He was at triumph for 1 month. All they would do was sedate him and immobilize him. He was asking for someone to take him the **** outta there. 1 of his 8 sons from Cali comes to brainwash and all of a sudden I see a dnr wristband I confronted them about it and he cowardly pointed the finger to his mom. Why would they give up on him within a week? He left and promised to come back but later changed his mind till when he dies. Anyways the son that sees him everyday doesn't get any inheritance, they give it to the wealthy son from Colorado. Anyways my grandpa developed blood clots in his legs for not moving around. This was preventable? **** yes. He's last days he was In real pain without the necessary medications at a hospice. Hope this made sense and excuse my punctuation.

    Really f'd up man. Unfortunately not a unique story. I hope to foster a better relationship with my kids.... But you never know.

    Aside from potential revelations of cryogenics working, I don't care what happens to me after I die. I'll be dead.

    Whatever is the cheapest thing possible. If I had my way they'd just leave my body somewhere to decompose and complete the circle of life. Please don't wast space and money by putting me in a damn box.

    When I die, don't toll no bells
    Just put my ashes in some shotgun shells
    Get all of my friends some windy day
    To say goodbye and watch me blow away.
