Just as important as a will is a list of your active insurance policies. I spent weeks digging through my hoarder parents apartment finding policies from the 70s and 80s with no clue if these companies even still existed. My Mom was clueless as to what my dad had for coverage. I found one old dot matrix printed business card that once I tracked down what it was for (I almost didn’t bother because at this point I was exhausted from chasing so many dead ends) it resulted in an extra $92,000.

I’ve always said. Use my ashes as fertilizer for a tree.

Having read through this thread, I should give some thought to who gets items that might be considered desirable or novel.
Regarding end of life, I was hoping I would get a shot at KQ before she's done with her body.
As for what happens when I'm gone, I really like this idea. Since the US of A may not allow me to be bagged-up in a fetal position and planted under a tree, I will be cremated. I want my ashes put in small vials that my friends and family can spread in places where we shared a good experience and have fond memories.A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Poison isn't one of the preferable ways to make the transition.

speak for yourself, the most scared I've ever been taking drugs was deep in a khole, face-down on a couch and realizing I wouldn't be able to move if I couldn't breath.

I leave all of my skis to a good friend who has the same BSL as me. No need to remount the bindings or anything.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

Nothing odd in my will. Everything to my wife, or daughter as the case may be. As for my remains, not really concerned about worms, but would like to limit the amount of benefit the capitalist vultures will try and rape my benefactors for, so cremation is the most likely outcome for my flesh.
As for the end itself, I don’t truly subscribe to an afterlife, but I have been known to be wrong before. So if I do have an ‘eternal soul’ that needs attention, other than how I lived my life generally, I think it needs to go go out in the same manner that it came in - dramatically, with at least some level of conscious truama. Maybe there is truth that to get into Valhalla one needed to die in battle, with a hand on a weapon. Going out in one’s sleep seems wrong somehow. It would be nice for the pain of the transition lasting a reasonably short period of time however. And of course, I wouldn’t like others to be hurt in the actual act of departure. In short - Send It!

I've said it here before I believe, but I think it's awesome. In a past life I worked for a consolidator along the front range into the tetons, really from Albuqurque to Missioula, You'd know the name. So we bought "x" company from Mr. Jones. at the time it was a maybe 40m top line; I happen to know we wired just over $29 million to Mr. Jones' personal account. Typically we kept the former owners on as long as they wanted, here Mr. Jones had a 5 yr employment agreement. Just one of mabye 50 such transactions we did along that line.
so 3-4 years later I see an obit on the break room refigerator for Mr. Jones. Doubt too many people in the Atlanta HQ had any idea of who he was, but i did. The first paragaraph was the usual. the 2nd paragraph started "Mr. jones enjoyed shopping at costco...""Can't you see..."

Odd things in your will
I was working at a western mountain park as a ranger when we got a call for an unconscious man. He was in his upper 90s and had been with his family, sitting on a park bench staring at the mountains when he collapsed unconscious, likely from a massive heart attack.
Seemed like such a shame doing CPR on him, any life he had after that would have likely been pretty terrible. But there was no DNR so we worked the code.
But I’ve often thought you couldn’t wish for a better way to go out. Among family, quick, staring at the mountains.

^ Mr. weaver over accross the way had a similar one working in a flower bed on a sept. saturday morning. I've often thought the same.
