How would I like to be buried?

Preferably, Post Mortem.

Good one Violet!
And actually that is a big issue for me as my family has a hereditary condition that has lead to a number of ancestors mistaken for dead and buried alive. My Aunt woke up twice on the way to the morgue while in hospital. Thankfully as Australia is one of the countries that uses embalming fluid that would kill me before I was buried.. hmm so much to be grateful for there.

Personaly I'd like to be buried in a large mausaleum and/or with a huge statue. Something really megalomaniacal and grandiose. Probably in my female garb, certainly gothic and with a lot of lace. I'd want roosting spaces for bats built into the mausaleum and/or statue and a space for people to sit or lie down beside the grave, with some shade, and enjoy the atmosphere, to write or quitely read or sketch. A small refuge for the weird and the gentle hearted romantics.

Ok, I've changed my mind! I wanna be buried right next to you with a similar, but smaller statue lol!
One with a little path..
And one that looks nice!

I don't care, because by the time they bury or cremated my old body, I would have zoomed away into the tunnel of light...... and back down again into a newly born female body

For me I prefer to be burried in some sort of a box. Any other decisions than that will be left up to who ever cares enough about me to be there at the time. Dress me however they think I should be remembered.

Afterall what will I care at the time. It's not like I am going to get to go shopping with the insurance money.

TxKimberly

01-05-2008, 09:26 AM

Well, if I have my way, I wont be burried at all. I want them to take everything they can use and give it to someone that needs it. I adore the thought that my death might help someone live by giving them a heart, liver, etc, etc.
I think it's an awesome thought that some little boy or girl that would have died, might get the chance to go on living because of a "part" I can give them. That idea just beats the snot outta rotting in the ground.

well my family disowned me so when i die theres a good chance i will be cremated by the state as no one will know i am dead or gone .. so pictures are all that will be left for a memorial for those who care..

I have often thought about being laid out in my coffin fully enfemme and made up, I have made a DVD of myself, fully dressed and telling all concerned that this is the real me. It's quite tasteful I think, and is kept with my will (only to be shown in the event of my demise); obviously it is sealed and my executor is the only person with the decryption code. I used to think that I would keep my secret so as not to upset any of my family, but I now feel that I want them to know how I really was. Actually I don't think anyone would be all that shocked, I am quite feminine in my manner and dress.

In the end, I hope my mind is still sharp. I hope to have my brain transplanted into the body of a beautiful young woman. The balance of my body will be too old to donate for transplanting, so send it to the landfill in a pink trash bag. My wife will probably have me cremated and buried under a small stone. Come to think of it, if they can transplant my brain, do it now, then some of my organs could be used by others.

Annie D

01-05-2008, 01:14 PM

I like many of the ladies before me, will be cremated. Here is the next question; How will you be dressed in the picture next to your ashes?

Nicole Erin

01-05-2008, 02:24 PM

...if i go heaven...Unlikely:p

Well see ya down there. :hugs:

Now me, I wouldn't mind being buried upside down so my surviving friends can stop by for a cold one.

Dressed? I guess en femme. I am not really old enough to worry about death. AT 33, one still thinks that life does not end.

ONe thing tho - if I DID get buried in men's garb, I would just want a tee and jeans. I HATE men's dress clothes. I could live with a tee [not the button up collar type either, those things urk me to no end to wear one.]

01-05-2008, 03:52 PM

Funerals are a terribly depressing time for all who attend. I wouldn't want to make my family even more upset by wishing to be laid out in a dress. I'd be dead, so it wouldn't matter - might as well do what everyone else wants.

Dressed as a male or female? Remember you are dead so it does not matter what people would think.

Side question do you think your closest loved one would dress you the way you wanted to be when you die? :skull::skull:

I'd like a full foundation and a nice dress that I haven't purchased yet
with high heels and a wig. However, I don't think the wife would do that especially if I have a nice mens suit in the closet.:thumbsdn: If I'm dead who cares anyway?:tongueout

Maybe what we need is a whole little private cemetary. It could be a showcase of sculpture, a haven of tolerance where lovers can be buried together irrespective of gender or sexuality, where people can be remembered proud and free on their tombstones rather than hidden away behind faceless square blocks. And we can encourage goths to hang out there at night, what better way to protect the place from vandalism than to have people who love the place wandering around it at night as well as day?

Not some vast field of monotonous low stones but a rambling place with big trees, old-fashioned streetlamps spilling muted light at broad distances, benches and paths and a fountain or two. A place to picnic, a refuge for wildlife, a place for the living as well as the dead to connect them together ever more strongly.

For those who leave their body or remains in male persona for their family we could have a section (or just better scatter them around with the rest) of memorials for the female that has died too so that it is remembered and not forgotton. A place for their friends to remember them as crossdressers, as girls and women, as members of our community.

Satin_Lover_13

01-06-2008, 10:59 AM

For me it is not a big deal. I know if I was dying I would loved to be cuddled in satin lingerie. Now the question is if my loved ones would let me wear it. The satin would ease my pain as I prepare to die.

The 1st words out of someone's mouth would be "boy he looks content in his satin gown" :D he he

:

Well, it may not matter to me once I'm gone, but since I'm still kicking, and have been forced to think about this, It does matter right now. Too many people know me only as my male side, and will never know Melissa, and I don't want them being uncomfortable at my funeral. However, if my SO wanted to show me as Melissa, I'd say, "OK, do it. You'll have to deal with it, not me." Most of my organs are being donated, anyway, so I don't know how much of me will be left!

Hugs,

Melissa:happy:

Side question do you think your closest loved one would dress you the way you wanted to be when you die? :skull::skull:

I'll answer the side question first. Since my closest loved one (my wife) is already dead and buried (No disrespect intended my dear), the choice of what to wear to my grave is all mine, and would be specified in my burial instructions.

I would start the instructions with a lacy pink garter belt with taupe stockings, matching pink panties and bra with my silicone breast forms, a pink 1/2 slip with side slits and lace trim, and a pink chiffon cocktail dress. I would also specify my auburn wig, full makeup, faux diamond bracelet, lilac nail polish, and patent leather heels, As a finishing touch, I would have an iris corsage pinned on my left breast.

I would be checking out in style and at the same time giving the:tongueout to everybody who was unwilling to accept me for the person I was. Once I get to heaven (or the hot place), it won't matter what my cold body is wearing in a six foot hole anyway:heehee:

Luv and Hugs, Jill

DAVIDA

01-06-2008, 10:02 PM

Well, Jean has said that she would put a pair of my favorite shoes on me!
As for donating things, people usually want organs that are not quite so worn out. Then there is creamation. If that were to happen, then Jean could get all of the metal that is in me and recycle it!:heehee:

This may sound selfish but I honestly couldn't give a toss. They can put me in an evening gown and heels and lay me in a hearse pulled by two black horses or put me in a sack and throw me in the sea it dosen't matter. What you do when you are alive is what's important.

You don't care what happens to your self (or the boduily remains thereof)when you are dead and you are worried you might sound selfish?
LOL
Isn't it more selfless to not care rather than selfish?

:hugs:
I certainly do care what happens to my "self", soul, spirt, call it what you will. It should be a major concern of us all. I have no concern for the body once it has served it's purpose.
As for being selfish well I would percieve not caring about the fate of my bodily remains could be seen as my opinion as to the the outcome of my bodily remains with no care or thought for the opinion of any other. This I think could be considered selfish.

Happy New Year BTW

Enfolded in silk.

Funnily enough this has brought back a memory of fantasising about being ill when I was quite young - and wondering what it would be like to be able to wear a nightie in hospital.

I never thought about this question - but where is the number of the people keeping my will?

Just kidding (addressed to my wife who will never read this)!

Ideally, in ancient Celtic attire with all the grave goods that go with the trip as in axe, helmet, cloak etc... at the bottom of a barrow in a oak log on a hill over looking the valley of my people. But, here in the US.. cant happen. So I've decided to be cremated ,wearing me kilt of course, and then loaded in three cannon shells. One to be fired at the Oriskany Battlefield , one in Valley Forge, PA and one for the battle ground in Saratoga,NY done with the accompaniment of the pipes and in the company of my friends( they own the cannons) oh, and everyone will be in Revolutonary War attire.

(and you're right we float. Witches that is. Or are you sure you spelled it correctly?)

For those donating organs... it has been claimed that people have gained memories, personality traits, new likes and other things from their doner via the donated organ.

If so that means you could possibly pass your crossdressing on!

I don't have an organ to donate, Would you settle for a nice acoustic guitar or a mandolin?:heehee: Luv and:hugs: Jill

Maybe you should tell them NOT to embalm you and make sure you have a fully charged cell phone, a flashlight, a bottle of water and some protein bars.

then you could come back and tell us all about it.

I think embalming is compulsary for burial in Australia. So my relatives and friends will just have to ensure I'm given a good dose of sugar to possibly rouse me and then they will have to leave me till I'm clearly starting to rot I guess. I heard of one case in Romania where the attentions of a necrophiliac mortician woke a tenage girl from this condition (the mortician screamed and ran off, the family wouldn't press charges though as his actions saved her from being buried alive). Unless they can fly over Elvira for the purpose :devil: I don't think that's the best idea.

In some countries you can buy coffins with air supplies and emergency phones built in. I heard one of the arguments in favour of embalming in the first place was certainty that no-one could be buried alive!

Women would always go for the glamour. the perfect outfit, the distinguished look, beauty, etc.
Men will go for the extreme. military outfits, buried at sea, one guy said that he wants to be left on the north pole, to be perserved in ice, to spend the rest of his days as an exhibit in a museum. we all got a good laugh out of that one.
For me, I still say the James (scotty) Doohan thing is for me. my ashes spread out into space to later land on another planet and spawn a species of Crossdressing Aliens.:devil:

My wife and I have chatted about this. What we've settled on so far is to be dressed male from the waist up, and female from the waist down. At this point in my life, most of the people attending would have known the male side of me, as these things tend to be for the living-I'm dressing for them. But, I also want to go into what is to come as who I am, and that includes me femme side, so skirt, heels and hose. I guess I want to be buried as I lived, as a person who had both a strong male and a strong female side. After all that, it's off to the fires for me, then my ashes scattered over a South Pacific atoll.

NYsong

01-17-2008, 08:51 AM

Oooh, its waaay to early in the day to think about this. I suppose I'd so for dressed en femme from the waist down, male on the other half. This is, unless everyone finds out my habits before I die, in which case I want to be dressed to the 9's.

I also know that, if I am not cremated, I want my headstone to be made out of styrofoam coated in granite. That way when the granite breaks down over hundreds of years, the foam will still be there forever

Well, I am an organ donor, so hopefully I will be able to help someone in need. After that I would like to buried in my best best business suit, with skirt and 4 1/2" heels, nice makeup, my wig and acrylic nails. My wife is very supportive, so this is the plan. Hopefully not for many years!

Stargirl

03-03-2008, 10:03 PM

No embalming. I don't want to make the funeral directors any richer than they already are. No pickling for my old corpse. 6 thousand dollar casket, my arse ! Ideally, I would like a pine box large enough for two. I want to be buried with my lover. I would ask that my former earth vehicle be placed on top of his former earth vehicle (body in earthspeak) with my head leaning next to his. Depending upon the state of our flesh, I would like our hands entwined, and both dressed in matching powder blue gowns, and tiaras. Ooh..I am going to cry. Ask me again in 20 years. 25. yes...

I was just thinking about this recently also. I'm currently in the transitioning process and soon I should be full time. I know this decision will alienate many of my loved ones, so when I die, I'll leave it up to my family. However they wish to remember me. If I die before my mother, I want to be memorialized as she wants me to be remembered. If she should pass before I do, it will depend on my son's perception of me. I'll leave that choice up to him. Other than that, I don't care. I have no animosity towards my male persona and my life will hopefully see all of the expression I've been looking for so in death, it won't matter too much.

I would like to be buried in a beautiful gown (with a wig and full makeup). Unfortunately this is unlikely to happen because my family thinks of my crossdressing as some strange quirk rather than an integral part of me. Maybe they wouldn't have a choice if I put this request in a will, and of course it may also be dependent on the laws of the country... I need to do some research!

Why is this important to me, seeing as I will be dead anyway? Because it gives me greater peace of mind while living to think that I can "rest" forever as I always wanted to be.

I too have thought about this on occasion. Enfemme is probably not going to happen. It has its moments when I think of it, but I come back and relaize that since I will most likely be buried in my hometown with (presumeably) an open casket wake, then I need to respect my family, relatives, and friends who have only known the male me. So, it will be a mens suit and tie.

I do like the idea one other person laid forth in an earlier post in that they have made arrnagements with their S/O to ensure they are dressed in panties and pantyhose underneath their men's suit. That's a great idea I would go for.

It would be comforting to think I could be laid to rest at least with bra and panties (don't forget my beloved thigh highs), but alas, my two sons are funeral directors and will probably oversee the whole thing and they have no clue, nor would they understand.

How would you like to be buried ?

.. not very much i'd have thought can't be much fun , hehe. Sorry couldn't resist . I've always taken a very practical view when it comes to final arrangements. I couldn't care less , it's up to those left behind to do with what they want with me . I've always believed that a dead body no longer holds anything to do with the person that inhabited it . The thoughts and memories of those who loved you and remembering the good times and love that you shared are what's important to me to that end whatever my loved one's wish to do for their own relief is what will happen. My only wish is for my sentiments on this matter to be read during any service , without reproducing it here in it entirity find it here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_not_stand_at_my_grave_and_weep)

I've been thinking about donating my body to Gunther Von Hagen's Body worlds (http://www.bodyworlds.com/en.html) exhibit. Hopefully I'll be a full body scuplture and not just a slice of an organ or something. 'Course, I've heard there's some controversy around his work, but then again, there will be any time someone uses human corpses to museum displays. People are a superstitious lot.

At this point if I was to go very soon, I would want to be dressed as a man. I don;t mind taking my secret to the grave. Only because my sons do not know. The worst part is I think they would be fully supportive and understanding. But just not at the point to tell them. My sons ages are 14 & 18. One day I will break it to them when I am comfortable enough to let them know. They see me as a well rounded, funny, intelligent, man and role model. But I think they would let me be buried enfemm if that was my wish in my will.

I am going to go out on a limb here and ask,

Are there any fourm members who are funeral director's (past, present, or retired) or who are in some way associted with the funeral business who would be willing to enlighten us all and tell us if they have ever had to deal with (and how they delt with) with similar situations as part of their profession?

Well if you've been a good girl (and we all have haven't we sisters?) you're going to get a lovely white dress and a head of golden curls so why get buried in drag?

I have been thinking of this subject for many years and this is what I have decided I want to do. It is a tradition in my family to have an open casket funeral and then buried in the designated family cemetary. When I get up there in years I want to make my own funeral arrangements. I will give the motician all the neccessary fees in advance with specific instructions to dress me in the contents of a box that is to remain sealed until the time of my demise. In this box will be a bra and panties and that is what I want to be wearing under my mens burial suit which my family will furnish. The mortician will abide by my instructions to not reveal this to my family. When my body is viewed at my funeral no one will know what I am wearing under that suit. Going out this way I will truly "rest in peace".
