To present myself and what I believed in, I would like to include objects and certain items that are very precious to me. I did have a close family member that passed away and what we did with her was to bury her in her favourite clothes. I would like to do that.. but to think of it, I would like someone close to me to have that with them. I would like to be buried with my "second" choice of clothing, perhaps a picture of myself and family(if science improves and are able to preserve my picture FOREVER). I will try to send that I am a very family based person (so having something that belongs to each family member material to be dear to me as well!) I can't live without a laptop, so perhaps my laptop? And later, if my loved one (perhaps husband in the future?) if he passes away, I would like to be buried next to him and later the whole family. Heck, I would buy a whole cemetery for my family! haha!
When I took the time to put it on facebook, I got a few jokes such as a banana, chopsticks and a llama. A friend even suggested putting my boyfriend... Some said that I should put beauty supplies and make up so that I can dress up even afterlife. Really close friends of mine suggested that I should be buried with a camera (since I take pictures of everything I do, eat, etc.), jam a classic old school Beyonce (a CD), and lastly noodles/pasta (since I cannot live without them, I need to take them with me to afterlife!)
The grave goods I picked out and my friends picked out are completely different. I think I was more thinking of a family based, and wanted what was so dear to me, but my friends thought of things that "literally" represented me, such as my favourite foods, singer, activities etc. There would be a conflict in the future when they do dig my grave up, because they would be able to know who I was in relations to the things I liked, but not WHO I was as a person.
