When I die I...

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

When I die I...

Post by Anchor Moy »

(Place to discuss our own deaths so as not to intrude on someone elses'.)
Have you left instructions on what to do in case of your death? Will your dear ones have to go-fund me your remains ? Do you wish to "go home", or is here home ? Do you have a specific idea about cremation vs burial vs providing food for animals ?

One idea that comes to mind is to sell off my body in advance to a Kep crab seller in exchange for discount meals while still living. :mrgreen: Win-win ?

Burnt or eaten, I'm not fussed, but am pretty sure that those who are left behind would find cremation easier for them. My ashes scattered in the Mekong would be fine ... or keep me in a little house in the garden and bring me beer and cigarettes on religious holidays and feastdays... :beer:

I don't care what they do with my corpse. Leave it in a wheelie bin and dump it at the tip for all I care. I'm not close to my family back home and I doubt my wife would be pleased to receive my corpse anyway. They can use it for organ donation (though most of them will be fucking useless to someone else - drugs, alcohol and tobacco will do that every time). They can conduct medical experiments on it. They can feed it to the dogs. They can rent it to the local chubby chasing necrophile. Whatever; I'll be dead - it's not going to bother me.

Really when I die I wont care. As far as I am concerned they can shove a stick up my ass and whistle for the dogs.

Yep;
burned at the local wat, ashes spread over the water

OR
a Royal Viking funeral and set a blase on a boat drifting out to sea.

I will just refuse to die. In fact I'm thinking of going to church this Sunday and asking for forgiveness or whatever they do there and ask if I can live forever .

I've always told my wife to 'send me to Vietnam' (i.e. toss me in the Mekong.) But I'll be dead and she will have her way, which means I will be cremated at the pagoda, put in a bottle and sit on a shelf in the house next to my photo, or if she really has her way, I'll be buried on the side of the mountain in Sihanoukville at Wat Leu, with a view of the ocean, at least until the land is sold to a Chinese developer. What I want doesn't really matter anyway except in so far as the living can take comfort in fulfilling my final wishes, or if it makes them feel better, take care of my soul however they see fit.

Same as one of LTO's wish, resting comfortably 6 feet under barang style (maybe with a chinese decorium if visible from the road) with a sea view is my plan but as I have yet to sort it out so it could still fail any minute.

Fuck that, I want to die in a massive fucking house, and in in the garage a fast fucking car covered in lots of chrome badges of strange acronyms. A whole lot of effeminate European men have to have made exotic exclamations while hand crafting every square inch of that car.
