Burial Blades

That's really cool actually! Glad the thought is to honor the buried and not just toss him in the ground! It shows a measure of respect I think.

I respect all your answers and have no problem with cremation. Dad was a decorated veteran and service officer for the VA as well as a member of a vets motorcycle club and he deserved the honor with which he was buried. As for placing items with him its a family tradition. There are a lot more of his knives now in my possession as well. Didn't mean for this to be a debate as to how things will be handled after death, just asking if there is a special blade that you would want with you.that's all.

I think it's a great thing that you did. It is a quite common practice to leave a few special items with a person when they are buried, these things are usually favorite possessions or have some sentimental meaning to the person that has passed. I know one person that was dressed in sweat pants and a sweat shirt. He was a Vietnam veteran, so anyone looking in from the outside would think this was major disrespect; however anyone that knew him would know that he would have been very unhappy to be dressed in a suit or uniform.

I can imagine an Izula going with me. Right now I have only carried it for about 6 months, and I have no sentimental value in it. But I'm going to bet that same Izula will be on my side for many, many years.

Thanks for sharing.
 
No I'm not going to be burned, been burned enough in life as it is. My instructions have been to burry me in a pine box at my prepaid cemetary plot, with one of my lesser quality fixed blades on my belt, and have me dressed as I would be on my way out to the cabin.

I'm still young and stupid but I'm leaning toward being cremated. People have their own opinions and that's fine, but I'd rather my family spend that money on something in my memory than an overpriced metal or wood box and the involved arrangements. Some folks don't like the idea of cremation and that's fine. I don't like the idea of embalming, make up and being buried in the dirt.

Burial and death are very personal things. I'd rather have my kids or grandkids have my knife and remember it as Dad's or Grandpa's Knife. I sure won't need it.

Without getting in to a religious debate, those tools aren't going to help me after I cross over.

My feelings exactly. Well put.

Professor.
 
Definitely wanna be cremated. I dont plan on having kids to pass anything down to, so i guess if i have any friends at my time of death, them and my brother can go nut with my stuff. And any family that wants shit too lol.
 
Nothing if buried I want to be buried the way I came into this world naked. Ultimately though I would like to be burned in a traditional funeral pyre.
 
I'd dig a full Viking funeral, but I think I'd put a sample of my DNA in space somehow.
 
Nothing with me as well.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I lost mine right before I turned 15 so I can relate.
 
All my material things will get passed down when I die they'll do way more good for my kids than in a box with me
