Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 would you rather be cremated or buried? If you could, would you rather always know the date of your death or not? The second one, definitely not. Even if you were allowed to live to 100 or whatever age (within reason) you wanted. Don't really care what happens to my body after death. But if you knew the date of your death, surely you'd live your life to the full? And I'd want to be cremated, the thought of being enclosed in a coffin then buried terrifies me. There is zero chance of being buried alive these days though isn't there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero chance of being buried alive these days though isn't there? I'd certainly like to think so.

Yes thats true i guess, imagine how you'd feel as the date was drawing very near I've never seen either of the kill bill films, what are they about?

Meenzer 15344 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Depends - if I'm going to die of natural causes, I wouldn't mind knowing, but if I'm gonna be hit by a car or splattered in some other ways then I'd rather it was a surprise - SURPRISE! You got hit by a car! (Not sure why.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15344 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Can't watch it from work Martin. Synopsis? Or should I wait? It's 3 seconds long, so the synopsis would be one syllable or so. It's really not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I hear most inanimate corpses are shaking with fear, I hear claustrophobia is common is the deceased... I'd quite like to know my date of death, means I could get everything I wanted done before I shuffled off. I personally couldn't give a shit what happens to my body after I die, I'd probably donate every organ I can and just burn the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(apart from people being buried alive) "Scratches" on the inside of coffins have largely been shown to be artifacts caused by decomposition iirc. Kill Bill 1 and 2 are revenge films directed by Tarantino. They're a bit marmite although I love them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only went to see the second one because a group of mates were going. I really liked it and I'd probably be more tolerant of the (over-long self indulgent) first one now.

If you suffer from a fear of being in an enclosed space, as I do, then as i said the thought of being buried in a coffin scares me....(I'm well aware i wouldnt know a thing about it) but why would I plan that ending which the very thought of makes me feel uncomfortable whilst im alive?

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Aren't dead bodies drained of their fluids and pumped with formaldehyde now? Not much chance of waking up after that I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing a morbid fear her soul will live on in her body after it has deceased. Not sure cremation is comforting either in those circumstances though.

We probably just die and thats it, end of! Or maybe we do feel something? Perhaps we do have a spirit? Though i dont believe in a god as such, but i rekon this is all planned like a cycle, we are supposed to eventually kill our own planet and die off completely in the end. It is just a cycle that is supposed to happen. Edited April 12, 2007 by Toonraider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when General Zod (?) gets stuck in that mirror on Superman 2? Exactly. Anyway, who was it that said words along the line of "I don't fear death. I was dead 100 years ago and it never bothered me then. Why should it in 100 years time?". Wise words, wish I had 100% confidence in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
