My dad once saw a grave that said ‘Gone, but not forgotten.” So he decided that he wants his grave to say “Forgotten, but not gone” to freak out people reading it. —Bat_Sam

My dad wants a speaker to play a tape of him saying fun things out of his coffin like:

-Pull my finger!

-Smells like somebody died in here…

and so forth —Carbon_Blob

My friend’s dad told him he wants to be cremated and mixed with flour to make “Dave cookies.” My dad said he wants to be cremated and have his ashes mixed with paint, and have an artist paint a portrait of him with it. —moodyjon

One of my ex-girlfriends’ grandfather was a pilot from wayyy back in the dizzle day. He HATED me because at the time I had long hippie hair and a beard (i was in a band) and he was the kind of guy that would always wear a suit and tie, and he was ALWAYS smoking. He had a love of cigars and alcohol, and had enjoyed both through his whole life, and his health was mostly great except for the fact that he was ridiculously old.

Anyway. Apparently he had told her that when he died, he wanted to be dropped from an airplane. While wearing his old pilot gear. Not cremated, just like… Flown up into the air, and dumped out of a plane. And all I could think of was some regular person, going around doing their regular thing, when a ninety-something year old man wearing some old ass pilot suit falls out of the clouds in front of them and ruins their regular day. they didn’t do that. —Braziliger
