I was thinking about first donating my body to science, or having myself composted. I dont' see a need for an actual grave marker. Of course if donating my body to science they tend to cremate remains once they are done.
In the end I will be dead, so ti makes no real difference.
Neither. I made it clear to my loved ones once I leave this earth to cut my remains up and use the for spare parts. (Organ donation)
Donate my organs to scientific research then cremation, whoever wants my ashes can share.
Burial makes no sense to me at all, cremation, all the way.
I don't like the thought of being in a box under the ground. I want to be cremated, and my ashes spread somewhere warm and sunny.
Donated to science then when there done onto the compost heap thats how I want to go
It doesn't matter. I'll be dead, after all. Let the relatives figure it out. The same with life insurance: I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities when I'm alive. Afterwards? I don't care. Let someone else worry about it.
I'd always been for cremation, but recently learned that there are a few natural burial options available now (no toxic embalming, a simple burlap sack or unfinished pine coffin, unmanicured, natural burial areas). This seems like it might even be better than cremation in that it potentially uses less energy (though I'd want to do more research before committing).
Cremation. Id actually prefer to decay natually outside a coffin. become some type of soil.
me too and be part of the chain of life.
3.5-4 feet under, if I can manage it. Green Burial for me. No chemicals, no polluting the air with my burnt remains, no casket, no cement vault separating my atoms from the earth from whence they most recently came.
I'm going to be cremated, just as my husband was. It's less invasive of the land. I don't beleive in an after life so not concerned about being bought back. Plus, I like to tell believers that I'm getting cremated because I may have to get used to the heat!
That’s interesting..
