Buried in Oz?
Do you chaps and chapesses plan to be buried in oz? Or do you want to be shipped home and buried/cremmed here?
More to the point.....do you look upon your emigration as being permenant, for the rest of your life etc?
Strange question.....but can't think of any particularly exciting threads to start
Me? Wherever i really don't care. lol. I can see myself retireing in a nice little cottage in Devon though.

For me NZ will be my home. When I die I want half my ashes thrown to the wind of the top of a snowy mountain in NZ and the other half into the ocean. These are the place's I love most and when my family go to them they will always have me in there thoughts. what a cheery posting.

Our lives, in terms of the universe, are just a tiny itty blip in something far, far bigger than we can ever imagine. I live my life for today and for my husband and our children. When I'm gone, whatever happens to me - burial or cremation, I won't be there anymore anyway, I'll be on my way to a paradise even bigger and better than Australia. ( ) My whole life is an adventure and a long and winding journey onto something even more amazing and fantastic and my body is just the shell that carries me there. Australia, U.k, North Pole - it doesn't matter to me, what matters is the life I live now and everything else will take care of itself.

All of the above,
When I die I don't want to be buried. I don't want a headstone or a memorial site of any kind. Scatter my ashes anywhere not botherd about location. My only stipulation is that my family DON'T go back to the location on anniversarys/birthdays etc to lay flowers. I don't want my family to feel obliged to remember me at specific times or places or more to the point feel guilty that their circumstances may dictate that they can't.

Cremated Please, and I have always said if husband outlasts me I want him to go on a pub crawl with my ashes (get a driver) from Belfast to Portrush around the Antrim Coast and on, have a drink in every bar and take me in too. Hopefully he will be that merry he will leave me in one of the bars and not remember which one...he is not to go back to find me, I will get thrown out in the morning hopefully.....
Works equally well for me if he does the pub crawl round the coast here, I am not fussy which pub I am thrown out of

Cremate me please, then fly my ashes to Londonderry to be buried with my Da.
My family can scatter some of me here in NZ too if they want...somewhere nice of their choosing.

Not thought about the death bit - try not to!
On the second point, have I moved to Australia 'forever'? No, we want to spend a few years here and will then review our decision, I'm not sure I could stay in Australia long, long term. We need to sort ourselves out before our children start High School because we don't think it's fair moving them at that stage of their lives.

I'm going to medical science and I don't care whether its in Oz or the Uk. I won't know either way so it doesn't matter to me.
