Spending Eternity on Worthy Farm

[Ayrshire Chris]

its the year 2075 and it’s becoming obvious the e festers idea of ashes in a Glastonbury field has been popular! 

Given my age I’m at the bottom of the pile!

I've spent a couple of Monday mornings sitting about waiting until it was a reasonable time to go to the airport for my flight home. That felt like an eternity on the farm

Not on the banned items list.  Go for it.

I'd like my ashes sprinkled up on the hill above the park, near the letters. If there's any room.

 

Then you'd float down to the Lost Horizons sauna and land on someone's todger

My festival loving neice has instructions to get me made into a firework and set me off over the farm. Prices start at around £995 for a 2-3 minutes display.

If you can arrange for your remains to be interred in Chris Martin you’d be guaranteed to appear on the farm at least once a year for eternity.

I’ve just had a thought how to do that.,,....and to be honest it’s rather unpleasant ending your days like a stash being smuggled through customs

Been to the site today to pick some sloes for Christmas gin.  In the afternoon Autumn sunshine we commented on how peaceful the site was and how many memories we, and thousands of others, have made there over the years.  Perhaps I was feeling a little melancholy but (although I'm not expecting it anytime soon) I asked my wife if she would mind interring my remains here when I go.  She of course said she would do this gladly, assuming that is she survives me.

We then started wondering how many other people have requested the same....and are either already there, or planning to do so?  I do know of someone who is already spending eternity under the oak tree by the Stone Circle....but I'm guessing there will be others.

after a potter around the site a few weekends ago there is a tree in the glade with a fair few plaques on dedicated to people sadly no longer with is with their names and a little info on there

Might asked the Arcadia crew if they could do a cremation.  They've got enough flame throwers so I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.

its easy just ask these lads ...

Top of the hill of death for me, been a regular deep thinking space for me for decades now. There's loads of other areas that compete but this one wins every time. The panaramic outlook and closeness of volume, the overwhelming sight and sound of happiness.

Up above the stones for me. If ever I'm on a Glastonbury wander I'll inevitably gravitate there. It's been my favourite spot since the trees up there were mere saplings. 

My friends sister was scattered above the Park, somewhere near where the rainbow man was this year.

I picked my sloes on the farm last year. The resulting gin was lush.
Have you seen the memorial plaques on the trees by the Glade? That would be a nice touch too.

Excellent....found a whole stash along the railway line at back of Other Stage field.

@shuttlepmentioned the plaques in the Glade too....didn't know it was there so will look for them when we next have a wander.  There is a small tree by the path to Green Fields (poss on the corner where Tiny Tea Tent lives...) that often has ribbons tied on it out of season...it used to have a small notice attached as a remembrance to a chap but I'm not sure if that's now gone.

Little bit further down the hill for me,  a bit nearer the hammock place.

[Pipine]

Somewhere with the view for me.. up behind the park or top of the stone circle.  Can't think of anywhere else I'd feel more at home for eternity. 

[carlosj]

I love the place, but my plan is cremation and getting chucked in a river to go off and see the world. I was going to choose the river in the village where I grew up but my cousin said I'd run around in Goole and get no further....

This has got a reboot of "Weekend at Bernie's" written all over it. Can't wait.

Ive spoken to Mr Eavis and im going under the pyramid and where ever the wind takes me! The whole site is full of memories and part of me! I want to be part of it in the future!
