I'm not being buried. I have a three stage directive:

1. Take any parts that can be used to help the living -- like organ transplants.

2. With anything that can't be transplanted, use the parts to aid medical research to help people in the future.

3. With anything left over after that, make soup.

If my heirs don't want my watches (hmm.. how likely is that?), then I guess maybe I'd have one given to each recipient of one of my organs.

No

No, I rather pass on the legacy to my nephew, unless I have a son out there I'm not aware of.

Hey Peter,

I'll take any organ of yours just so I can get one of your watches. LOL!

JJ, isn't that a little too explicit for this section of the forum?

I don't like to plan too far into the future, but I'd have to say NO.
