Rod Stewart Reveals His Burial Plans
Rod Stewart, 64, admits to not only having given thought to his possible demise, but he's planned ahead. "I'm not bothered as long as they bury me above ground," he joked in an interview with BBC Radio 2. Well, wish granted. The singer revealed that he's planned to be cremated and for his ashes to be scattered over Celtic Park, the home of Celtic Football Club in Glasgow, Scotland.The move might seem a bit traitorous given his professed love for his English team, Manchester United, who he even name-checked in the 1977 smash 'You're in my Heart.' But Stewart has also been a big supporter of 'Parkhead' --as it's known -- over the years, with he and comedian/actor Billy Connolly being the only two people who have seats for the life at the stadium.
And apparently, for death.

Why? He isn't actually being buried. Me, I'm also being cremated and then packed into a big fireworks display so I can go out with a bang and make my loved ones smile.

I think you'll find if you listen closely to "You're in my Heart" you will hear him sing, "You're CELTIC, United.........." !!!!!

My wish is also to be cremated. The cheapest way the better for my family who will be around after i'm gone. Whatever they wish to do with my ashes is up to them. I just hope they don't put me somewhere and forget me !!

I want to have all my money put to a huge party for all my friends and family, with my body propped up in a corner smiling. After that, I couldn't care less what is done with it. Funerals should be about celebrating the persons life, not mourning their death.

That's the way to do it! Why the hell cry about it?
The lesson-make the most with freinds and family while you can!

I too am to be cremated. My ashes are to be combined with some sand from Myrtle Beach, and ashes from my deceased pugs, (3 so far). All this is to be dumped off the end of Pier 14 at Myrtle Beach, one of my favorite places, with a little Eric Clampton or BB King music played by my friend Robert Cooper.
I have also planed my service and written my obit. Of course my family can change if they want, since the funeral is for them and not me.

I say if Rod puts out another "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" we cremate him right away, dead or alive.
