I have told my kids that when I pass, I want my hair donated somewhere where someone living can get some use out of it.

Have you thought about it or made any plans for your hair or do you plan on taking it with you?

I'm definitely going to take it with me.

I want all of me to be cremated, put into a special fertilized and seeded urn thing, then planted.
I will become a tree!

I've never thought about it specifically till now, but my answer is quick. I'll be cremated with my hair because that's simply a part of me, too.

Honestly, it hadn't even occurred to me. Something to think about....

I love the tree idea! I found a place that will bury you with just a blanket and that's what I had planned on. But wow, if I could become a tree instead of just fertilizing one! lol

Yeah! I saw it somewhere randomly on the internet and thought it was absolutely amazing.
They put you in a biodegradable urn with fertilizer and seeds, then you just turn into a tree!!!
With the way my life is looking now, it looks like I will be able to be a tree on my Fiances family property that we will inherit.
Then our childrens childrens childrens children will be able to climb me! :cheese:

Huh - I hadn't thought about it! After I die I give my family full permission to use whatever parts of me they need to help other people. I'd actually request it. I guess I always thought of that as orgrans, but I guess they can have my hair, too. I'm gonna get a new body one day anyway :)

My family/friends can do what they want with it. I won't be around to care.

I have my mother's braid , her hair was so beautiful to me for my whole life and we always said for me to take it when she died . So I did, she had gorgeous honey blonde ringlets.

Omg, the wood elf in me just had a nerdagasm! I so want that done too! :D

As for my hair though, I want parts of it cut off and given to my father and hubby.

I had never thought about that but I think it's a great idea. I'm willing to donate all my organs once I don't need them anymore, so why not my hair? I have no sentimental attachment to any part of my body after I'm dead so I'm just donating the whole thing to science.

I have no sentimental attachment to any part of my body after I'm dead so I'm just donating the whole thing to science.I've got no problem with letting people use my hair and organs, but I've got a husband in med school and know what bored 20-something gross anatomy students do to cadavers. I'd really like to say that I'm not at all concerned to what happens with my vehicle once I'm gone, but science can't have me!!! Plus, knowing that they could see my face somehow really bothers me. Yeesh.

I'm an organ donor with my body set aside to be donate to science, unless my SO or children feel strongly about having me cremated instead, then I'd totally do the biodegradable urn thing! As for the hair, you better believe it'll be coming with me!
