Title: Weird thing in cemeteries
Post by: Parts on April 10, 2008, 09:13:09 PM
Lately I have been working at night and on my way home I drive by a cemetery.  I have noticed that a lot of the stones have led lights on them I never saw this before anyone else noticed this or do I drive by a weird cemetery.  It's not in the best of areas and I am surprised they are still there

There's a cemetery near here that has a kid's section that's full of cheap plastic windmills and other brightly coloured crap.

There is a new trend here.  Not only is the picture of the person ON the head stone (etched in a metal plate), but there is also a button you can push and hear a recording of the person (either their last message to the world, or if it was not planned, just something they have said in life on a video tape)......   spooky.

too creepy for me I have seen the photo ones but never the voice ones
This cemetery also has large black cut outs  of dogs that point into the wind I think to keep away the geese

my instance at a cemetary was my friend asked me to go to a cemetary with him to for an assignment and i went it was weird seeing people's graves from the early 1900s and later 1800s

They were more explicit about what the person died of in those times, though. On one gravestone I have read "struck by lightning".

Do you think they would allow me to put this on my gravestone?

^If you ask for it before you die, they should.

I like the classic, "I TOLD you I was sick."

Seriously, I don't want a grave. I really need to write down some final instructions...maybe I will donate my organs,
leave the rest of my chubby body to medical research, and be cremated when they're done!  :2thumbsup:


I sure as hell don't want a Catholic wake and funeral, which would probably happen if my poor brother were stuck making arrangements.  :thumbdn:

I vaguely remember one of my predecessors who did not get along with his heir.  When his son died before him I believe he was buried in Westminster Abbey in the ground with this, "Here lies Fred, Now he is dead, There is no more to be said."

In a magazine I read that now you can get your ashes pressed into a diamond.

Or the ashes of you and your partner, for ever united in a bigger diamond.

Got me thinking about huge inheritance rows, about, who will get grandma  :zoinks:


Oh, there seem to be artists too, who can make paintings with the ashes of your beloved.

So silly! I think I would request that my ashes be scattered somewhere nice,
rather than sticking my brother or whomever else with the task of keeping an urn around forever.  :laugh:

He could make an ear-piercing with a diamond setting. Showing the radiant you to everyone he meets.
(you would need some expert cutting and polishing to get the radiant effect after death, but, you get the idea, shine on for ever, in a setting of gold.)

I just want to end up in the moors turning anonymously into peat in the end.

When the time is there, they can use me in the still, to make a gorgeous  :scotch:

But, there is of course the danger of being found and exhibited in a museum  :runaway:

Don't want a grave either. One of those mausoleums would be okay though; would make an interesting tool shed.
