I have willed my body to our medical school n my state and it becomes their property once they take possession. Once they have finish with their use of it, they will cremate my remains and return the ashes to my family if my family wants it, if not the ashes will be spread in a garden on their premises. I am OK with that.

Stuff a ham bone up my ass and toss me to the wolves.

It's been over 30 years since I first read this poetic sentiment on the wall of a bathroom I was visiting, but I offer it here for your consideration:

When I die, bury me deep.
With a big bag of cannabis at my feet.
Put papers and matches into my hand,
And I'll find my own way to the Promised Land.

I like the idea of the body farm in Tennessee. When I was a grad student there was a donation program for the skeletal collection here at the University of New Mexico. I like the idea of contributing something to science when it's all said and done.

I have tried to let my children know I want the cheapest and easiest option available which I assume is cremation. I would care if they could legally dump my corpse in the desert for the vultures. I obviously won't care, whatever makes them happy.

I would prefer a green funeral.
I want to be wrapped in silk and placed into the ground and decompose naturally.
Death is a big business. We pour all these highly toxic chemicals into our dead just for the benefit of the living and it's absolutely absurd.
Neil degrass Tyson said "I would request that my body in death be buried not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime"
I don't understand why people can't understand this thought process.

Water cremation. Much more environmentally friendly.

[en.wikipedia.org]

Viking funeral. Rowboat, a few cords of wood, 5 gallons of kerosene, and push it out onto Lake Superior when the tide is right.

I have many friends who will shoot the flaming arrows. Probably have a competition for it.

Neither, I want to be put on a pyre barge pushed out into some water and have everyone shoot flaming arrows at my ass.

Burial. But because of scientific belief.

Neil deGrasse Tyson on why he'd be buried: "...Put me in the ground. Let the worms, microbes come in and out of my body. And the energy content of my body that I had assembled over my lifetime consuming the flora and fauna of this earth. My body then returns to them. Thus is the cycle of life. .."

Here's Neil deGrasse Tyson with Larry King talking about death and the non-afterlife.

Cremation. And I don't want anyone hanging onto my ashes, throw them out with the trash.

I want to be buried right into the ground- no casket, no preserving my body. I want every bit of my body to go back to the earth.

I'm an organ donor. Then cremation. Considering one of those Bio Urn things. Anyone have any experience with them (obviously not personal! LOL)?

Tibetan Sky Funeral.

Part me out. Harvest my eyes, my liver, whatever organs are still usable, and let them benefit others who are still alive.

Whatever's left over, I'm not going to care -- don't cause my survivors any more expense than is necessary to comply with sanitation laws, and let them do what they need to do to grieve.

I want mine donated to science.

Cremation. l want to become a tree, and you can do that using your ashes

It doesn't matter, I'll be dead.

Gonna burn - interestingly I live in the Northern Ireland countryside and a new crem has just opened quite close to me- When I was at Art College for my final piece I bought a cardboard coffin and covered it in symbols of all kinds - nice dress rehearsall but I think I may thing this way but let my family do the arwork my small family have been talking for years about our funeral lists so I'm mhoping at least it won't be a tame affair.

Cremation, burial is such a waste of land, water, pollution, money.

I'll burn here first...

I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with cremation. But the idea of being buried under a tree to provide nutrients is a really cool idea too.

I would like to feed worms under a tree

I have always wanted to be cremated. I told people who will hopefully outlive me that I don't care if they hold a funeral for me in a cardboard box. I'll be dead. It matters not to me. Funerals are for the living. Save your money on a metal or wooden box and a burial that's not worth thousands of dollars. Use the money to live. I've always thought Viking funerals were pretty majestic.

There's a theory about cremation. Being cremated enables the "soul" to be free and not have evil spirits attach itself to the soul that's trapped in the body, or something like that. Nice thought. Doubt that's real either lol

Cremation seems like the most practical choice. You don't waste space and it's cheaper. You are taking your memories of me with you, not my body. Get rid of the fucker!

Cremation for me, so my daughters can spread them on their travels around the world
