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.

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.

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.

Water cremation. Much more environmentally friendly.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

I want mine donated to science.

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

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.

Tibetan Sky Funeral.

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 don't really care, I'm going to recommend cremation.

Ive done paid for a $8,000.00 funeral that cost $3000.00 A long time ago. That's what it's worth today. I told my wife to just cremate me if possible and save the rest for her to be cremated. Or visa versa. The easier thing to do for both of us.

I'd probably go with cremation just so I don't burden my children with the upkeep of a grave, they can always keep me in a jar on the mantle piece should they so choose but I do quite like the argument for burial given by Neil de Grasse Tyson.

Burn this body.

Cremation

I plan on cremation, and then having my ashes dumped in Puget Sound.

I donated my body to science. I hope they launch me in a cannon in an attempt to reach the moon! I think I've posted this before...
