Re: One foot in the grave!

I know its many decades ago but I have said before my Dad left his body to Science. We got his body/remains back about 2 years later and we had him cremated. The University of Leeds paid for the funeral. Don't know if that's what they still do?

I certainly wouldn't want my husband's remains back, if we went with that option.

Made me laugh for some reason, but I'm grateful for it

Re: One foot in the grave!

I understand that if you leave your body to the local university hospital for research that you can ask that they dispose of it when they are finished with it. I don't think you have to have it back. I intend to leave my body to the London University for medical science.

I've just paid for and organised My funeral last week,so I can die happy now knowing it's all sorted ;~)
I've lived longer than the rest of the Women in My Family who died before They were 63,so at almost 72 I'm delighted and surprised to still be healthy/alive/and kickin'...long may it continue,but I'm well prepared and unafraid of death,just too bad I'll miss the celebrations afterwards as I DO love a party :~)
Great idea May - to pay for your funeral. Leaves something for the family not to stress about.

Well, you do know what the say about a funeral - it begins with FUN . Just chuck me in a bin bag and use the insurance money to party on down

Re: One foot in the grave!

I have no dread of the 'final curtain'. After all, if I don't like it, I won't have to do it again
