"The McKinley Memorial...is a domed edifice on top of a hill. It‘s a gray granite nipple on a fresh green breast of grass." I'll be honest, having a tombstone that looks like a boob doesn't even sound that bad. #grlpwr ???

If not though, I just want a fox to lounge around on my book-shaped grave all day. Is that so much to ask? And the epitaph should read, "Late to her own funeral." #timeisaconstruct

Littens: What are your posthumous plans?

8little_paws Burn baby burn! 7y

kalinichta I want to donate my body to one of the university "body farms" in the country, like the one in 7y
monalyisha @kalinichta Noble goal! ✌🏻 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Mark Gruenwald had his ashes mixed in with the ink of a posthumous collection of the Squadron Supreme comic book series that he wrote. Now "ashes editions" are super rare collectibles. I have never been able to decide if this is cool or horrifying. 7y
monalyisha Haha I'm with you @TobeyTheScavengerMonk . That's quite a stumper. 7y
kspenmoll @TobeyTheScavengerMonk Somehow too creepy for me😱 7y
monalyisha @TobeyTheScavengerMonk @kspenmoll @DivineDiana @8little_paws @kalinichta I also love the idea of these colorful, darkly funny tombstones @ The Merry Cemetery in Romania. 💖 http://www.slate.com/blogs/atlas_obscura/2013/06/13/cimitirul_vesel_or_the_merry... (edited) 7y
kalinichta @monalyisha It would make cemetery visits so much more interesting to have a view on the person's life like that. So much more personal than a slab of rock with just name and dates. 7y
