Have you made provisions for your dolls if you die?

Alex is going with me *maniacal laughter*

im kidding.

...sort of...

 

I have already arranged who will take care of my cats if something happened to me, that's the thing that bothers me most. about my dolls... I have a very good and close friend who is into the hobby, so I've said she should be getting my dolls

 

Huh. Interesting question. If I have friends or family who are interested in my dolls at my time of death, then they will definitely get to take them. If not, then I'd leave instructions on where they could be sold. The money could probably pay for a good chunk of my funeral!

 

I have pieces of paper in my dolls heads. On each piece of paper it says who I would like my dolls to go to if I die. My friends know they are there if anything happens.
I'm only 18. So I hope I'm not dieing anytime soon, but just in case you know?

I would never have my dolls buried with me. It would feel selfish, when I know there is someone else out there that would love and play with them. They could still 'Live on' with a friend.

I think I would like one of my dolls sold though, because I know none of my friends or relatives love him as much as I do. I would like him to go to some one who sees him as the special doll I see, so he would be sold.

 

Oh I love that imagery -- a big restringing meet in the sky. I also have a lot of art and art supplies -- tools that harder to get...and all my medieval reenacting things, my treadle sewing machines. One of these days I am going
to have to really sit down and think about a will.. I should put something in writing -- because none of us know what time we have left to us. If I die when I am old old old, I'll have time to offload all the things to deserving friends. I'm more worried about what would become of all of it if I died sooner, and or suddenly -- I wouldn't want treadles or bjd's to go to mean, careless people.

 

I'd probably leave him to my mom. It's my most prized possesion so if I died, I'd deffinately want her to have it :3
Other options would be my closest friends, but they'd have to fight over it.
I would never ever ever burry it with me though. It's too awsome and precious to be in the ground! XD

 

Flurf and I have willed our dolls to each other. If I get more than one doll, I might split them up, taking into account that none of them will probably be in any way related.

 

I've told my best friend that she is take my dolls when I go. XD I'm sure her little sister would gladly also steal some, and that's fine with me. It's not that I am planning for the future, just the fact that my parents would likely either throw out Mira or give to a young kid that would end up...erm. Destroying or breaking, maybe, because as soon as the elastic snapped, would be the end of my poor Mira.

 

Nope. I don't really care what happens to my dolls once I'm dead. They'll probably be boxed up and put away somewhere. They're just things, I'd be more worried about who'd get my car or the contentents of my bank account...though not really seeing as that I'll be dead and beyong worrying about wordly nonsense.

 

I have yet to receive my first doll (I hope he gets here sooon... @_@) and grow a real relationship with him, but I shudder at the thought of him being buried with me. Like my stuffed doll Evans, who I've had since I was still in the womb and has slept with me every day of my life - I wouldn't want to bury or cremate him. I would leave him and my Apollo (and any possible future dolls) to my children. so they could have something that was important to me, to remember me by. If she outlives me, my mom will probably get one of my dolls. Mom knows how important these things are to me, and their value, and seems to enjoy them as well. So I know she'll take care of them. So yeah, I'd probably leave them to my kids, husband, mom, or my two little sisters who love dolls very much. (They're so cute with their 27cm obitsus... ^^)

However, hopefully -- *knock on wood* -- this will be a long way off.

What a thought-provoking topic...

 

Well, first off, I don't plan on dying anytime soon.
Secondly, my parents don't really care at all about dolls, and would probably put my poor resin buddies in a dusty old box in the garage. So they would not go to my parents. I'd actually give them to anyone who I knew would appreciate their beauty and take care of them. (Brothers crossed out too. Hmmmm....)
Unfortunately, I don't know any doll-lovers in real life.

 

Oh no! Double post of doom! Someone please delete this ;_;

 

If my husband is still alive, all my stuff, including my doll will probably stay just where I left it and will be lovingly dusted on a semi-regular basis. Otherwise, my stuff will go to some random relative to be donated to charity or sold off, probably for far less than actual value.

 

I would not have any dolls buried with me, but I haven't given thought to where they would go after I died. Hopefully they would go to somebody who would love them.

Now my Sega Dreamcast, that's getting buried with me

 

Hmm... this is kind of interesting, seeing people's thoughts on their doll's well-being after death.

Personally, I would probably give him to a friend if I know someone will love him enough. Otherwise I would probably let my family sell him off. While I love Alek very much, the rest of my family thinks he's creepy and too expensive, so they wouldn't want to keep him. >.>

 

XD
I've thought about it...because I have the feeling that I shall die young O.<
I thought about maybe having them buried with me, but then decided that was probaly going to be pretty nasty.
I'd probaly leave them to my friends, who would leave them to thier children, and so on and so forth.

 

I think I would give them to friends who knew me. I hope they'd want them!

 

....Haha, Kha is going to go with me, once I get him.... Unless I die before I get him. P: I've actually thought about this and..I have WAY too much crap that's going to be buried with me. xD; I think too much.

He's gonna be sealed in a plexi-glass box, never to be touched again. D; Sad, but I'd like to have him even in my death. ;n;

 

Oh, wow. This is a tough topic for a twenty year old! I certainly don't have a will, but... I've been dating my boyfriend since I was 14, and am incredibly close to him. I'd want him to keep one of my dolls. He is the only person who encouraged me to get a doll (it boiled down to me saving for her and putting the full price into savings twice as I chickened out, and him finally saying "BUY IT!!! NOW!!!") and I would love for him to keep one because I love them. The rest? He knows about the DOA Marketplace. I'd have him sell them and give the cash to my parents for the funeral. Between them and the video games, I might be able to afford a casket... Maybe? XD

Ah! But that's just at this point. If I have daughters that love them, then they will each get at least one! But I don't have any friends or family members that would love them or know what to do with them right now.

Ugh, now I'm thinking I should have this conversation with him, which is sooo morbid! XD But maybe I should thank you guys for making me think of it.

 

Hopefully this won't be an issue until I'm really, really old, but I think I should probably let my sister know what should be done with them. I would leave it up to my little sister to either take them or sell them (she knows about DoA) as she sees fit. My young cousin is interested in the hobby, so if she ends up collecting she'd have the opportunity to have them, as well. I'd rather have them sold on the marketplace here than to have them stuck in a box un-cared for.
