Question	Name	Answer
If you could live to be 150 years old, would you choose to live that long and why?	Simon Mountney	I would love to live that long, so long as I was healthy, and those I love similarly live healthy lives. I want to see the world evolve and prosper.
What one place would you like to travel to before you die?	Crystal Davis	Japan
If someone made a work of art to honor your memory, what form would you want it to take?	Anthony O’Rourke	A sand sculpture on a beach. Let the sea take it after a few hours.
If you were going to be buried, what ONE object would you like to be buried with?	Robert Worthingham	A Bible. To quote the Apostle Paul, “For to live is Christ, and to die is gain.“
Do you have any special instructions for your family or friends for your memorial service or funeral?	Ritchie Farrant	I want to be cremated and I want garage punk music to be exclusively played at my funeral. No hymns or poetry, a wall of noise.
If someone made a work of art to honor your memory, what form would you want it to take?	Daniel Kirk	A song!
If you came back as a ghost, what place would you haunt	Tricia Bross	The farmers market in Madison, Wisconsin. I’ve spent my life selling veggies there, so I’d like to be a happy ghost whispering to folks to buy more produce – especially if it is raining.
What do you hope people will learn from your life?	Thomas Asmuth	To take a few chances. Step out on some branches to see what the world can offer. You may get a little bruised occasionally and other times you’ll discover how amazing the world can be.
If someone made a work of art to honor your memory, what form would you want it to take?	Carrie Fonder	Having made so many works in my life, it’s hard for me to imagine someone making a work in my honor. I’m not much interested in monuments or longevity in art. I think of art as a way of thinking through existing in this world, not as evidence that I once existed. So, I’d be inclined to say something time-based and impermanent, like life. Perhaps something inspired by Fischli and Weiss’ The Way Things Go, with the ending resulting in the ignition of the furnace that burns my body.
What kind of weather or season would you like it to be on the day you die?	Rebecca Wilson	Spring. The ground has unfrozen. The fruit trees are budding. The sun is out but the air is a little brisk. Still sweater weather.
What is your one single most valuable possession, and who would you like to have it when you pass?	Frederick Lazare	My grandfather Frederick’s naturalization certificate, framed. Either daughter, no preference.
Do you have any special instructions for your family or friends for your memorial service or funeral? If so, what are they?	Cailey Robertson	Yes
Where would you like to be buried or have your ashes scattered?	Amy Ruddick	Scattered in a creek bed.
If you could choose the place to be at the time of your death, where would it be and why?	Lawrence Lazare	I would like to be in my hometown of Croton-on-Hudson, NY in a house in the woods that overlooks the mighty Hudson River. Croton and the Hudson River Valley are where my heart lies, and it only seems fitting that my heart would beat for the last time there.
What one thing would you like to achieve before you die?	Heidi Siren	I’d like the opportunity to see my daughter become confident in who she is as a person, love that person no matter what anyone else says, stand up for what is RIGHT and JUST, and to be empathetic in a world that will do anything to stop her from FEELING.
