Have you made provisions for your dolls if you die?

Hm, I haven't really thought about it. I definitely wouldn't have them buried with me because I will eventually rot away (argh,morbid morbid horrible!) but its true and I'd rather not have them there. I think I'll just pass everything onto my family and leave instructions for them as to how to go about selling everything, except one which should be kept for sentimental value as I think it represents quite a lot about me.

 

I plan to have myself stuffed and put on display with the dolls, thereby creating a whole new realm of "creepy".

...Actually, I'd probably will them to my children, or if I don't have any kids, someone who'd want them. Or maybe donate them to a doll museum? There's bound to be one somewhere.

 

Strangely enough, I was thinking about this yesterday, before I saw this thread... In my case, the best thing to do would be instructing my family on how to sell them (hopefully here on DoA, in the marketplace) to someone who will love her as much as I do.
And I'll probably haunt the new owner to....

 

XD
I don't have one yet , so I don't have to worry about it.
And since I'm quite young ~
*shrugs*
But if I had too. . .I think I'd split them between my Two sisters , and my friends.
Because I'd want the ones I was close to , well I'd want them to have something utterly saturated with my love.
I'd look at my dolls as empty shells , that have been filled with my love and joy.
So all my girls would have a little piece of my happy emotions with them always , at least till I see them again.

 

Hopefully it's a long way off and I'll be 105, if it is then I'll give them to any family members that will treasure them and if it's soon my sis will get them. If she's dead too because we left the gas on then went to smoke digestive biscuits then my lawyer will hold a competition on DOA where the person who correctly guesses my favourite fruit will get them.

 

By The Way !
What's your favorite fruit ?
Just wondering. . .
*Hides poison*

 

I bow to you!

Yes, I know it's creepy, but it's still funny! I will never die because I am planning on becoming immortal somehow...where's the rolleyes icon? Ah!

Nah, in all seriousness, I will most likely will them to someone who will take care of them like I do/did/whatever (wow, there's a lot of 'wills' there).

 

A few years ago I once said to my friend that if I die, I want be stuffed and put into a house fills with gothic styled bjds O.o

Realistically, I don't think my dolls will last long enough (due to yellowing, cracking and general breaking) to see me die.

 

Good call hehe

An image from Interview With The Vampire popped into my head when I read this! Except the woman was a corpse hidden behind Claudia's pretty dolls in the scene I am picturing.

 

Although I don't have a whole doll yet...
Once I do, if I passed away, I think I'd ask they'd look into giving him to a high school or college to use as an artistic model, and after he is done being used to be donated to an art museum or functioning art studio. I think BJD are excellent ways for artists to familiarize ourselves with the human form, and it might be a little bit better for those who are, say, uncomfortable with live human nudes, or maybe for more advanced artists so they could have a model who stayed still for a very long time to work with. I just know as someone whose whole life has revolved around art, this would be the right thing for to do for me!
But maybe if down the line I got more dolls, then they might have different desinations. ^^; I know it's possible that my friends and family will become more attached down the road, since right now my doll (head) is still brand new.

 

Haha, I'm glad my sense of humor is well-received! ^^

 

I would give Luna, Faust, and Rei to my friend Lin...I'd probably either take Nyx to my grave or give her to my mom.

 

About a year ago, I felt rather depressed. Death creeps into my thoughts when that happens, not that I'm particularly morbid; I just worry that if I did die would anyone remember me.
I called up my closest friend, not to ask the aforementioned question, but rather to ask that if something would happen, would she adopt my dolls.
At first she seemed a little alarmed, but I told her it would be an ease on my heart to know that they would be in loving hands since I knew my family would either stick them in storage [like say a momento or antique] or worse yet...donate them to Goodwill because I knew they had no sense of the value these dolls have in my life.

She was given this honor not because she's the closest to me in life, but because without her I wouldn't have gotten into dollfies at all. Not to mention we bought our dolls together at the same time...twice. And the second pair in particular are lovers.

I know there are other friends who'd like to perhaps lay claim to this or that doll, but I wouldn't feel right unless this close friend took in my orphaned darlings.

 

If I die before I want to (85 would be a good age ;3), then I'd like to see my aunt and cousin get Leo, Taylor and Engywok while my girlfriend gets Micah. If I die at a good old age, then I hope they are still around! I'm sure the horse bug will bite me one day again in the future and I'll sell these guys to a collector who will cherish them while I get that max white sabino stud I've been drooling for since I was an ankle biter...but until then I hope I, nor anyone else around here, has to pass away anytime soon. ^^

 

I would gift my boy to my friend who introduced me to the hobby, and would fully expect her to integrate him into her story and keep his name. =D

 

I haven't made any provisions for my dolls if I die, but the though has crossed my mind before. If I was to die fairly soon, I would like my dolls to go to either family, who would care for them correctly (preferably on my adopted mom's side of the family or to my biological family), or to be sold on ebay and then have the money given to.... well... I'm still working on that part. XD

 

Funny I just asked my husband the question a few days ago, "what would you do to my dolls after I died?"... he said he'd embrace them . I remember telling him long long ago that after I die, my spirit will reside in one of my dolls hahaha, and "don't ever throw them away!!!" I think I would be going for a cremation, so I don't want my dolls to be burnt with me. We don't have kids yet, but if I have a daughter and if she's into dolls as much as I do (hopefully), I will pass on my dolls to her

 

I haven't thought about it until now. I probably will give them to my best friend. I know they will be appreciated. Though I think maybe one will be buried with me. ._. Maybe in the future archeologists will find me and my doll. O_O;

 

Well when I die I plan to have a bit of my ashes stored into each of their headcaps and then I will give one doll to each person who I felt ment alot to me when I was alive, n.n like my children, husband, and close friends. Also that would make sure that they wouldnt just sell my resin children off insted of keeping them like I want them to n.n

 

I might will them to my cousin--she's exactly like me,(in a totally non-creepy way) and I wouldn't worry about their care because they would be in good hands.
