Have you made provisions for your dolls if you die?

haven't really thought about this, maybe cos i'm still young, and death seems further when you're 16. but ...i'll most likely give them to my best friend.

 

By then, assuming I still have my doll, I will pass it along to my (grand)children.. or when there's a lack of those: to a friend. When there's a lack of friends (that means I've sunken pretty low).. I guess I'll take it with me in my gr-.. er.. oven.

 

I'd most likely keep them within the family, pass them down as heirlooms when I die. I mean, once you get a doll passed down from a dead family member, people tend to take much better care of them. They'd be less likely to be messed with if several generations passed and the family still had a hold on the doll. c:

 

My sister once said she worried that my family (parents and siblings) will fight over my doll collection should I suddenly die. They are not that interested in my dolls, but know the dolls are worth money. I worry that if I make promises about who gets which doll, they'll fight over my dolls while I'm still alive.
I have not made any arrangements concerning what will happen to my belongings should I die. I don't own much that's worth a lot and I figure that the dolls will be evenly distributed among my parents and siblings. It's up to them to decide if they sell or keep the dolls. I'd be too dead to have a say in the matter.

 

I'd like them to go to loving homes, so I'd probably ask that someone sell them here, to help with the cost of the funeral. I'm pretty sure the family I have now would do that for me.

 

Yep, they all go to a fellow collector friend who will either keep or sell them as she sees fit!

 

I couldn't throw mine into the sea I thin I'd turn in my grave... I know my brother would sell them for the money x.x.... but i hope to find someone who loves dolls as I do.... I might sell them to people in DOA who I know would cherish them and love them... I think that'd be cool though because then my dolls could be immortal ( I couldn't bury them with me or worse.....cremate them....*shiver*) perhaps have my ashes spread over my dolls or divided up into little doll sized urns for them ... (I'm insane)

 

Oh lordy... we had a model doll in our school once (not anywhere near as good or pricey as a dollfie) and this one kid who didn't give a shit about anything burnt her eyelashes off scalding her face with a torch for fun... I die a little thinking of my beautiful dolls being mistreated by high schoolers like that one kid... so I beg of you not to send it to high schoolers with flame torches!!! For the love of hundreds of dollared dolls don't!!!

 

totally, they will be provided for. :-)

 

I'm 21, and this isn't the kind of thing that 21-year-olds typically think about. However... I don't know, when you're dead, you're done with material things. My dolls won't do me or my family any good stuck in my coffin or something. The only person who even gets what they mean to me is my boyfriend, but what use is a doll to him (he isn't interested in them)? So, if I had time to make arrangements, I would tell my boyfriend how much they're worth and have him sell them. The money could go towards my funeral, or just to someone I love who could use it. Funerals are expensive, and if the stuff that is beyond my use can help my family, then that's what I want it to do. He could, of course, keep one for remembrance if he so desired. But I think some of my other things would mean more to him and the other people in my life, like the ring he gave me that I wear every day.

I guess the bottom line is that the people I would be leaving behind mean waaaaay more to me than the dolls, and the money could help them out *shrug*

 

Second this. My husband knows how much they're worth, and I've explained how to sell them. If I had any friends/family that enjoyed them I'd probably will them to that person. Since nobody cares (and I don't like burdening people with physical objects they don't care about) I'd prefer they get sold.

 

i dont think about death

 

nor do i ever want to

 

I haven't made any arrangements, but if I was to die tomorrow I have a good idea as to who I'd want my doll to go to. Instead my dad would probably inherit my stuff by default and would probably just end up scratching his head at half of it.

 

Ideally, I would pass them on to someone who has as much passion about BJDs as I would for mine, like my mother and her Blue Willow set. That's her rule: only pass it on to someone who has a passion and interest in it.

Other wise, (in the event my children are brats and cremate me - not to say that such a burial is bad, it would just be against my wishes XD ) I would want my ashes displayed in a tiny urn that sits in my doll's lap.

 

Well, in the event of my sudden death (which I do rather hope does not happen lol), my dolls would be split up amoungst several of my collector friends. Our dolls are part of a big story and the ones that mean the most to some will go to them. My mother would keep my favorites, I'm sure.

In the event that I die at a 100+ years old? (I don't intent to die, ever kthx. but just in case haha) Well, we'll have to see how the dolls have held up during all that time! If they've held up well, I can see willing them to children/ grandchildren if they so desire.

Otherwise, I am not sure to be honest! I suppose I'll deal with that as I get older! *kicks around with her cane at the old age of 22* hehe.

 

I'd give all of them away to family (OMG IM SO CREATIVE AND ORIGINAL) except one, maybe my first one, or a very special little one. I happen to believe my dolls have souls and since I know that's only a belief that exists because I hold it, when I die, I imagine my dolls would too, until they were given away. So I would like one to accompany my into oblivion. Inb4 moron.

 

That's pretty Bamf. :3

 

i would either get burried with them or hand them down so that if heaven has a waiting list in the meant time i could posses my dolls and have some harmlous fun!^__^

 

I'm only 17, so it's not something I've really thought of. I'm not really sure what I'd want to happen. I almost want to give them to a family member who I know will carry out my wishes with them, which basically would be that they'd act as a memory of me for future generations in my family.
