    Potato farmers......Irish.

    Moved to America for reasons not known, not a close family by the time I was born.

    I am Irish, with a little English, which I discount for reasons that I do not want to discuss. I look Irish. I am Irish.

    Now, with that said.

    The Irish?......it is a RACE!!.......not a nationality and I will add .........for God's Sake!

    I am very thankful for what the Irish RACE gave me, and I am attached to them by RACE not some damn passport BS.

    So no, does not mean anything to me where they put my dead body. I carry with me what is important from my family. Two things......life....and that I am Irish.

    As an immigrant (but also a second generation US Citizen) from the Dominican Republic, I would like this to be done with my body after I die:

    1) My organs will be donated to people who need them. But if that person is willing to donate their own organs when they die, that person should be considered before one that won't.

    2) The parts that can't be donated will be donated to science for study.

    3) If there's anything left that can't be donated for someone who needs it or science, it will be cremated and scattered to a rivier or the ocean. (I don't mind which =))

    4) I will have inexpensive atheist funerals without the body, in all the places where my family and loved ones are, if they choose to =) If the funeral has to be religious in nature, I will specifically say it must be Buddhist, Jainist or Taoist.

    And those are my plans =)

    I'm Cuban so I want my coffin to be a cemented 1955 Chevrolet and I wanted set in Hialeah (aka Havana del North) with a funeral procession all the way to Key West where I will be set afloat back to Cuba.

    Now to finish answering your question, I'm American I was born here so who cares.
