What kind of things would I want to be buried with? That's a tough question. I don't know if I could choose anything that I feel would properly identify who I am or what I believe in. Of course I own a lot of material things, but I don't know if I would want to be buried with them. I'm not sure if what is most important to me can be accurately represented by material objects. The things that I leave behind that I would consider important to me I would want to leave to my family to keep to remember me by. To me, material possessions would be of no use to me to be buried with them, so if someone else can enjoy whatever I may leave and have nice memories associated with those things then I would prefer to leave them.
My family and boyfriend, however, think differently. I would get buried with my sheepskin rug (I just "thrifted" it yesterday and I'm a little too obsessed with it), a poodle statue, a German shepherd statue, my vintage furs, a Montreal Canadiens jersey, and maple syrup. I supposed that would be pretty accurate, as I do love my vintage things, dogs, hockey, and Québec.
What I'd really like to take with me is something like a record of who I am,
and how the people I know and love thought of me. Maybe I could take
something like a flash drive containing photos and videos, but maybe in
the archaeological record this type of technology may be archaic and
looked over. Also, this type of technology can be pretty fragile if it
encountered any weathering or damage. Otherwise I guess some of my vintage collection would have to suffice!
