The Undertaker's Sketch from Monty Python's Contractual Obligations Album

MAN: (entering a shop) Um, excuse me, is this the undertaker's?
UNDERTAKER: Yup, that's right, what can I do for you, squire?
M: Um, well, I wonder if you can help me. My mother has just died
and I'm not quite sure what I should do.
U: Ah, well, we can 'elp you. We deal with stiffs.
M: (aghast) Stiffs?
U: Yea. Now there's three things we can do with your mum. We can bury
her, burn her, or dump her.
M: Dump her?
U: Dump her in the Thames.
M: (still aghast) What?
U: Oh, did you like her?
M: Yes!
U: Oh well, we won't dump her, then. Well, what do you think: burn her,
or bury her?
M: Um, well, um, which would you recommend?
U: Well they're both nasty. If we burn her, she gets stuffed in the flames,
crackle, crackle, crackle, which is a bit of a shock if she's not
quite dead. But quick. And then you get a box of ashes, which you can
pretend are hers.
M: (timidly) Oh.
U: Or, if you don't wanna fry her, you can bury her. And then she'll get
eaten up by maggots and weevils, nibble, nibble, nibble, which isn't
so hot if, as I said, she's not quite dead.
M: I see. Um. Well, I.. I.. I.. I'm not very sure. She's definitely dead.
U: Where is she?
M: In the sack.
U: Let's 'ave a look.

(FX: rustle of bag opening)

U: Umm, she looks quite young.
M: Yes, she was.
U: (over his shoulder) FRED!
F: (offstage) Yea!
U: I THINK WE'VE GOT AN EATER!
F: (offstage) I'll get the oven on!
M: Um, er...excuse me, um, are you... are you suggesting we should
eat my mother?
(pause)
U: Yeah. Not raw, not raw. We cook her. She'd be delicious with a few
french fries, a bit of stuffing. Delicious! (smacks his lips)
M: What! (he stammers)
(pause)
M: Actually, I do feel a bit peckish - No! NO, I can't!
U: Look, we'll eat your mum. Then, if you feel a bit guilty about it
afterwards, we can dig a grave and you can throw up into it.
M: All right.

After my death, I want my body taken to the vultures, the felines, wolves or other carnivorous mammals.

Yes, screw the maggots and weevils, I want to be eaten by scavenging animals that will pick my carcass apart bit by bit. Big smile

Apologies to all those reading this who are already dead and may be offended.

I'm pretty certain that I will die as a member of the space marines sent to kill the giant Billy Mays terrorizing the world in the late 2020s. He's probably going to eat me so I don't really have much say in the matter.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

I've always wanted to be cremated, but afterwards, they have to rotate my remains in my circle of friends and celebrate my birthday with loads of booze and me present (in the form of ash, yes). One shot of whisky each year down into the urn, AND...they'll never get rid of me Thumbs Up

I'm with ya on that one, Miracle. I never understood what the big deal was about what to do with someone after they die. They aren't living anymore, therefore they no longer have a purpose! Dispose of them! While they were alive, it was different, but after we die, I just don't see the point of prolonging the inevitable. We will eventually become dust in the wind (like that pun, fellow Kansas fans?), so why bury us as if we are going to care one way or another how we disposed of? I'll be dead then, so I won't care.

I like the idea of "just because I'm dead doesn't necessarily mean I'm no longer a burden" Wink

I agree. Were it not for my grisly fate I wouldn't care what happened to my body. I'd prefer it be donated to science to be most helpful or have my organs donated to other people. But I think it comes down to what your loved ones want.
