Where would you like to spend the rest of eternity? The man who designed the Pringles potato crisp packaging system has been buried in one of the iconic cans. Sandra Ilene West was buried in her favorite Ferrari. And a man buried in a suitcase (not by choice, it would appear) Previously: 1, 2

If I had a billion dollars, I would buy all of the 1972 Trans Ams left in the world, destroy all but one and then be buried in that last one when I die. But first, I would convert that last one into some sort of doomsday machine transformer robot and when we've been buried for one year, it would activate and then dig us out of the ground and then destroy the world. I'm thisclose to being a billionaire and death, so y'all should start working on your last meals and start hitting on your crushes for real.

Good title, but kind of a thin post.

See, the problem with this post is that you needed to find another famous person who died and whose remains were disposed of in an ironic way dealing with what he was famous for; not just two other random people who died and whose remains were disposed of. Then you could have linked to that other example as a way of highlighting the more recent one. That might have made it better, but I doubt it; I hate those kinds of posts.

I thought all MeFites' ashes were scattered in the grey.

Did anyone else imagine a 8' x 4' round pringles can complete with the plastic top? Man I was really disappointed when they just buried his ashes...

He should have fully committed to the concept, his remains extruded into thin Pringles chips stacked neatly inside the can.

A body found in a suitcase in Bournemouth sounds so Agatha Christie, or perhaps Dick Francis.

Please don't bury me Down in that cold cold ground No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up And pass me all around Throw my brain in a hurricane And the blind can have my eyes And the deaf can take both of my ears If they don't mind the size. - John Prine

I want to be taken to deep space, converted to antimatter, accelerated near enough to C that my relativistic mass is approximately Jovian, and slammed back into Earth. I can't think of any reason why any of you lot should outlive me. Given the relativistic effects of that sort of acceleration, it's a safe bet to say that you probably wouldn't get back to earth until the far, far future. And by that time we'll have invented a way to destroy you. And then we'll live forever. Hahahaha ha ha hahahahahaha.... ha

I'd prefer to spend the vast majority of eternity dead, thank you.

This (complete with zany video!), flapjax, is where I thought you would go with this: "Well I ain't afraid of dyin', it's the thought of being dead I wanna go on being me once my eulogy's been read Don't spread my ashes out to sea, don't lay me down to rest You can put my mind at ease if you fulfill my last request Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die Lord, I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die..."(etc)

Well, whatever kind of container you're buried in, you don't want it leaking, that's for sure.

Even the casket-buying crowd can get bizarre custom coffins these days. And who wouldn't want to get buried in a delightful NASCAR box?

Im scared to dark places. The idea of being inside a small, dark, cold, wet coffin scares me. Spending the rest of eternity as ashes will be slightly better.
