My grandma was a very sophisticated lady. She always dressed and acted properly. My grandpa died 4 years before she did, and her health gradually declined after he was gone. She was very sick towards the end, and the doctor gave her a week or two. Our family was with her in the hospital everyday. One morning she woke up demanding we go buy her tennis shoes. Tennis shoes? She never wore stuff like that. She told us she had a dream she was walking with Mel (my grandpa) and it was so far. He told her, “If you think this is far, you should wear different shoes!” After that story, my dad ran out and bought her some nikes. She died in her sleep 12 hours later wearing them, and was buried in them. I’m not religious, but it gives me goose bumps thinking about the comfort she must have felt, thinking that there was a possibility that death meant reuniting with him. —sadie14

I never got to go to my grandfather’s funeral because I was going on a school trip to D.C. while he was sick. I told him I didn’t really want to go, but he was insistent that I go. We both knew it was getting near his time, but he knew how much I loved history and that I probably wouldn’t get a chance for a long time again. That night, while I was on the bus, he died.
His last words to me were “BGS, go see the world. I never got to leave this country. I want you to see everything. Not for me. For you.”
Will do, Grandpa. Will do. —BubbaGumpScrimp

My great aunt was cremated, and in her will it stated “I would like ‘Disco Inferno’ by The Trammps to play as people are leaving my funeral service. We did it. “Burrrrnn babby burrrrn” —itsrainingben

I would like for my body parts (arms, legs, head, torso, fingers) to be chopped up and implanted with gps tracking devices. Those body parts would then be encased in resin and buried in remote areas of the world; places that would require a real adventure to get to. A year later the coordinates would be released online and the first team to reassemble my body wins my estate.
Edit: For clarity, the point is that no team will get all the body parts first. No one team can succeed without teamwork from other groups. This is a lesson in life. Or they fight to the death as BTechUnited suggested. —Bk7

I was helping someone write a will, she said she wanted her cat put to sleep and buried with her if she died first. We didn’t end up putting that in the will. —wryguy89

My Dad wanted to be cremated, have his ashes mixed in paint, and then painted on a helicopter so he could finally fly like a pilot (he was blind for most of his adult life).
He died in November, and I’m still trying to figure out how to make this happen for him. —Gypsy_Liz

My mom hasn’t kicked the bucket yet, but she has told me (and I quote)
“f*ck this ‘everybody be sad bullsh*t’ when I die, you are to throw a party. There will be booze and food and sh*t. And a DJ. It must be crazy. If the cops don’t show up to shut it down, you are a disgrace to me and the entire family” —acedj10
