Have you made provisions for your dolls if you die?

I guess one is never too young to be thinking about this?

Okay. So let's say that I drop dead tomorrow. My one and only girl would go to my friend in Switzerland most likely. She loves dolls and I'm sure she'd get the most enjoyment outta her.... unless my mom calls dibs first! ><

 

I'm still young, so I can't really say for in the future because it's probably going to change, but if I were to die tomorrow my dolls would be going to my friend, as she knows how much I care and value my dolls.

 

My girlfriend and I have briefly touched on this subject... If the inevitable were to happen, she'd get all my dolls, since mine are generally the significant other to hers. Just because we're separated in death doesn't mean our dolls have to be.

 

haha. haunt your dolls

 

I was just thinking I would do like the pharoahs and have them all buried with me, with clothes, accessories, etc. (as well as my own) so we can live happily in the afterlife. Ha ha ha!!

 

This may sound like a crazy idea, but I read about a guy who did this with his old Victorian house, and it was such a cool idea. These dolls are such a big investment, both emotionally and monetarily that I would want the dolls to be with someone who would appreciate them and take good care of them , but I would also like my sons to benefit from selling them. I thought it would be great if they ran a little essay contest....put the dolls up for sale , but with a weird little caveat...the buyer would pay $1 for an application and would explain in no more than one page why they think they should receive the dolls....my kids (who are grown) would review the applications, pick one winner and keep whatever $ they've collected with the application fees (lawyers would have to be involved here). This way, you'd be fairly certain that someone who really loved the dolls would get them, as most others would not bother with the essay.It would be a fun contest...no one is going to be broken with the $1 fee and depending on the number of people participating, my kids would receive some money. The contest would run for a specific length of time....and in the end someone worthy of them would win a really great prize! In the case of the guy with the house....he made 3x the value of his house when he ran his contest...prior to that, the house had been on the market for 6 months with no offers.)

 

That is such a neat idea! c: Reasonable, and benefits all the participants...

 

i would want my dolls to be appreciated by others and well taken care of... and be together always.
if there is a bjd doll museum,i will donate them there...
else i would want my love ones (my parents, my sister.) to care of them for as long as possible....
failing that,its up to them to sell except for my favorite doll....clara ^^ keeping her in our family always.

 

I would hope my boyfriend would sell them to help fund the funeral! Darned expensive things...!

 

I'm absolutely terrified of this. D; I don't want to ever die and I wan't to live forever with my precious dollies.

 

haha that's a good one!

I don't really know what would happen to my dolls once I'm gone, I don't think my family will take care of them (they don't really care about BJDs) but they know how expensive they are so they will probably sell them that's why, when i die i want to be cremated along with my dolls, it sounds crazy but the end of me is the end of my dolls.

 

I would say, like the others, if I were to drop dead tomorrow I would want my girl to go to my friend. He knows how much she means to me, both doll and character, and has known the character long enough he would stay true to her.

 

I think if I were to die before my mom, she would keep my dolls. Even though she's not a "doll person" she's a collector, and after seeing the way she's decked out my old Samantha doll that's now her's, my BJDs will be all set.

 

At this point in my life I don't know anyone close to me who would want them. I do have one friend who has shown some interest, and I would probably want my husband to ask her if she'd like some of them. I'm not sure if she would or not, so I would let my family do with them as they saw fit. I won't be there to worry about it, after all.

I do hope that my future children will want to keep at least some of them, at least in memory of me, but I don't think it would hurt my feelings if they didn't want to.

 

I would have them all sold and then proceed the funds for my cremation / funeral bills / etc. If there is any left over (though I doubt it'll be much) I would like it to be divided up amongst my family for whatever they want to do.

Though I think... I'll be very happy if they used the leftovers to fund their own hobbies. (or better yet, to be converted to THIS hobby, haha)

 

You know, I hadn't really thought about it until the other day... But my mom asked me out of the blue one day; "So, if something ever happened to you... Would you want to be buried with Allura?"
Well, I couldn't imagine locking my poor baby in a coffin, or my dead body in fact--I plan on being cremated. :/

Anyways, I told her no--definitely not! I'd want Allura, and my other dolls, to go to a family member or friend that I knew would take care of them and give them the love they deserve.
Right now if something happened, I would want my mom to take Allura--and swear that she'd take her to lots of meetups and make her pretty clothes, of course!

 

Heh, well my first though was that I'd like to be buried with one at least (probably my first) especially since none of my close friends even really like them. However I do have a relative that does like dolls so I figured I'd probably leave her one at least.

I guess its a topic I haven't really give much thought to yet, but even if we may be young you never know what could happen in the future.... and its best to have a plan worked out.. even if that plan includes whats to be done with the dead girls freaky dolls.

 

I just turned 19 a few days ago... BUT! Life can be unexpected... So if when I die and by then I have descendants I'd give my dolls to them (only if they'd take care of them), if not I would seriously consider burying them with me...! T^T;;;

 

Same here
I always think that after I die my dolls are gonna miss me and become really depressed..
I really hope that after I die, someone out there would love my dolls just as much as I do so they wont be alone..
