When I die we will finally have the answer to the age-old question "how many cards can be stuffed in a casket!"

Seriously, what James said is pretty much spot on, no museums. I will probably let each of my children pick an item that represents their father to them, my father is a big-time Lionel/American Flyer train collector and he gave me a really beautiful Standard Gauge Lionel 381E with all the cars that I will own till the day I die because it just represents "him" in my eyes. The rest will be sold eventually to help fund my retirement, travels to visit family, etc. in my waning years.

Damnit, stole my answer...

The only thing I have planned posthumously is the music at my memorial.

Monty Python's Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life during:

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of s**t
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

and AC/DC's Highway to Hell as everyone leaves:

Livin' easy
Lovin' free
Season ticket on a one way ride
Askin' nothin'
Leave me be
Takin' everythin' in my stride
Don't need reason
Don't need rhyme
Ain't nothin' that I'd rather do
Goin' down
Party time
My friends are gonna be there too

Well, this is kinda depressing.

Don't have any children yet. If something were to happen I would have my cards shredded, liquified and inserted into my bloodstream.

May none of us have to worry about this for many, many years to come.
