I don’t know if this should be asked here, or somewhere like ask a mortician (if that is a thing) on reddit.
Let’s say I got a some blinkies (xSIID)… I’ve been thinking of things I could use them for (excuses). My latest idea is writing a note to each of my children, with the idea that I’d share that they were there, and which color was for each. Then upon my death they could be removed and returned to each child (assuming I wasn’t crushed in a submarine or eaten by a tiger) and they’d have the note from me that they could read when ready- plus it lights up and doesn’t take an obnoxious amount of space like an urn…
I imagine this would be an… uncommon request… are there any legal or other other concerns with this sort of thing? Anyone here have this sort of plan set up?
Not entirely sure the answer to your question (sounds legally difficult to do without you cutting them out on your deathbed), but to take one option off of the table, giving your ashes to your kids would not solve the issue.
I want to multi-quote, but can’t seem to figure that out via mobile.
To Not: I wasn’t suggesting post creamation, figured it would be in an earlier step, probably after organ harvesting but before burning, kinda in the prep time where emblaming would happen. If it did survive cremation, like a knee replacement, it seems straight forward to get it returned- as long as you let them know ahead of time and they didn’t already toss it in the bin for recycling. It’s no longer a biohazard, and you own it.
To xnzakg: I would be rewriting the note annually, which should reset the use by date… Haven’t worked it all out yet, maybe on their birthday, maybe mine, maybe New Year… Anyway, I can let them know that the message may eventually stop being readable after two decades.
To Chimpofm:
Teeth would probably be the best analog to this request, thanks for thinking of that. I do like the idea of the backup one in case of a steamroller accident. I could leave them in labeled baggies in my safe for easy re-encoding, and include instructions in my will. Then I get to keep them with me until I melt back to nothingness.
I wonder if there is a discount for non-steril and without the injector, or if they are all prepped when manufactured…
Highlight the text you want to quote, then hit the quote button that pops up. Write your response. Then close the keyboard, don’t close the reply window with the double down arrow. That’ll keep the response windo up, but allow you to see the thread. Highlight the next text you want to quote, then hit quote. And it’ll populate the quote in the reply window below what you have already typed.
The late great Michelle was cremated with her implants and they were indeed reduced to nothing. In fact the “ash” you get is just the bones that remain after the process which get ground up after the soft tissue is completely obliterated away.
I think the only way for this to be anything would be if you specifically left the implants to someone in your last will and testament… and specifically legally allowed the extraction of said implants post mortum, and maybe even needing to make arrangements for transporting your body to a jurisdiction that may allow this if the jurisdiction you passed away in does not.
