What will you take to the grave?

How about everyone list where they are going to be buried...huh? Im curious...really...lol!:D
 
I've told my wife to cremate me and load me into a Diet Pepsi can. Don't hardly drink the stuff anymore so may need to come up with a more appropriate container. (Maybe Ivan and start taking commissions for urn-sized special-edition GEC tubes).

I hope that by that time I've sorted out who would like what and what she should just sell. With my luck though she'll be so upset with me she'll get a cheap coffin, toss in the ashes, and load it down with all my stuff...

My ashes are goin' in the Atlantic Ocean in Jersey, the Delaware River in between Jersey and PA and Mount Kittatiny in the Delaware Water Gap.
 
I want to have the funerary rights of my ancestors, so belongings of my life will be put in my grave with me...most of my knives though before I move on I will give away to my children and new generations so they might enjoy a good traditional knife.
 
I'll take nothing, I plan on being cremated and tossed in the Chesapeake Bay. I hope any kids I might have, or my relatives, would give the pastor a nice pocket knife and send me off in style. I don't want to be in the ground, I've had my share of nightmares about being buried alive, must have to do with my sleep apnea!

Besides, I'll be talking to friends and relatives that have gone before, and finding out about knife projects before they happen :D :thumbup:!
 
Hopefully I'll have time give everything away to kinfolks and friends. I plan on being cremated and ashes tossed from a crab boat into the Cheasapeake Bay near the mouth of the Choptank river by the family's old crabbing and oyster grounds. Then ya'all can think of me at the next crab feast!:D:D

Maybe I'll have them toss in an old carbon steel Opinel that will rust away quick.

I don't think I'll need one in Purgatory since I don't think I'll be making Heaven, but should I slip up and be heading to Hell..I'm bringing the biggest and baddest Zombie Slayer I can find........

I used to think the same thing, now my wife has the password to my account here and struck directions on who to get in touch with here on the forums to get rid of my collection to after pickin' it their favorites, so keep your eyes peeled for the Ted' s dead thread, 'cause right after that there's gonna be one helluva sale.

Bingo! Once I get to Valhalla, I'm sure I'll be able to borrow one from my Pop-pop, who's been waiting up for me. My wife can keep the earthly ones, and if we have any kids they can have first pick. Otherwise, she knows to liquidate and enjoy! :thumbup:

Carl, I'm right there with ya. My ashes can settle to the bottom of the Chesapeake, let the oysters eat 'em. ;)
 
We had the talk, and decided a long time back that I will be buried in a traditional grave together with one of my knives on my belt. I won't have anything to do with cremation as I just want to be laid to rest in peace for I have been burn't enough through life itself.
 
If I am buried I'd want to have my little white owl or jack knife on me. Either one would do well.

Funny thing is what to wear. I'd want my double cape cruiser and my lambskin apron... and maybe my hunting cap to keep my ears warm. :)

My ashes will be spread on my brother in laws farm along a fieldstone rock wall I always called the Slave wall. Don't know if it was actually made by slaves or just one of the previous owners. I may have my bil leave my Old Timer 33OT Jacknife on top of the wall.
 
Ya think I could donate me bones to Case to jig up and make into some "Timberjack" knives? :D

I hope to be cremated once I go, but if anyone wastes a good piece o' steel by sending it off to the Great Beyond with my corpse, I'm coming back to haunt them for being silly... YMMV! :)
