We have made separate wills, we only made them because we have dependant children and we wanted our wishes to be known should we both die.
As for my gravestone, nothing. I'm hoping to go to science if that doesn't happen I'm going to be cremated. My husband wants to be buried, assuming he dies before me I want to be scattered over his grave. But really, really hoping (that seems wrong!) to go to science.
Yep will all done, since I've gotten I'll I've noticed a lot of family members who never had a good word to say about me being particularly nice to me ŵhile reminding me that their poor son/daughter is finding it oh so hard to get a foot on the property ladder and how lucky I am to be mortgage free at 45, so in my will everything is too be sold and the funds split between Greyhound charities and Parkinson's research. Bugger my family
We have a joint will leaving everything to each other and then our 2 sons. I don't plan to have a gravestone as I will probably be cremated. The OH wants to be buried near his parents and I don't like the area so I don't want to be sent there even when dead!
I wonder if I could get a motion sensor and speaker set up so that every time someone walked by I said "Hello pleased to meet you." Then I could frighten the life out of them. Or instead of me speaking it could play Dame Vera We'll meet again.
On a serious note I'm mad at the council that owns the cemetery my grandparents are buried in. My parents and I want to buy a family plot in the next field for us to be buried in and the council are refusing to let us and said "one of you has to die first before a plot can be bought." What kind of attitude is that?

Also why not put a pressure pad on the ground so that when someone steps on it a skeleton pops up out of the ground and scares them?
I find it sad that kids these days are so mercenary. Some of my relatives are asking their parents for the will money BEFORE they die. Some are taking their parents furniture for their own homes 'to save doing it later'. Disgusting.
I made a will a few days ago I wondered if most of you had too? I put on my will that I want a headstone saying "Like sands through the hourglass so are the days of our lives. Live a life you will remember." Have any of you specified what you would like your headstone to say?
I left everything to my parents, some money to the cat & dog home and the pensioners luncheon club. I want buried in an American coffin.
I know this isn't a cheery thread but I think death should be openly discussed more as it is something we will all face.
People are eventually going to have to be cremated because of there not being enough room for graveyards. Buring people in graveyards cannot continue all the time. More and more room will be needed, especially in Britain. I think cremation will have to be the only choice because of nowhere to bury people so many years down the line. It might be sooner than people think.

The better half and I both have wills leaving everything to each other, though we're hoping for a long retirement together in thirty or so years time during which we intend to squander every penny!

I always wanted to do this, sounds more appealing than learning how to knit
I have made a will, was advised to when we bought the house. I want to be cremated but have my urn buried with a headstone. Always like the idea of knowing the exact location of a loved one, but not being eaten by maggots. As for what it says, " Plucky Born xx, Died xx" will do.
I have a will, it doesn't deal with my possessions (I don't have many) but it does deal with what should happen to my children in terms of guardianship if I were to die while they're under 18.
I've never given much thought to my headstone but I would like it to feature my favourite bible verse.

I think I prefer the arm in the air like Kim Il Sung

Brandishing a walking stick?

That is so vile.

As for cremation/burial/headstone - I'll let my family surprise me.;-)
