The family grave is already paid for: either I die close enough to get buried there (and I doubt my family will have the good sense to dress me in my nerdiest clothes, sigh) or it’s “donate the body to science” - I don’t think med school cadavers wear a lot of Stuff. At the funeral I’d like my Navarrese flag on display. In the grave, like I said, whichever my nerdiest clothes happen to be at the time. Right now it would be a toss between the untranslatable _no me toques los fueros_ (with a pic of two fried eggs; it’s a play on words between “don’t touch my eggs(balls)/don’t push me too far” and “don’t touch my legal system”) and that one saying “I’m not weird, I’m special”. ---

If I have to be buried, I want to be buried with Hugh Laurie. And I’m on top. ---

Once any useful bits have been taken out, I’d like to be buried as junk free as possible, with a tree planted on top. Preferably a heritage apple tree, both because I’d like to help preserve them, and to squick out the squeamish. ---

Cremation is my choice, but I’d like my friends to throw a rabble-rousin’ wake for me. And I’d like my Master’s certificate and my ceremonial uniform and Black Belt to be on display. ---

You can bury me with anything of mine that nobody wants. But throw in Scarlett Johansson. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-you-want-displayed-at-funeral-buried-with-you/666296.md?page=1)
