I've been very very specific. I want to be cremated, and for my ashes to be scattered in a specific area of a nature reserve where I spend a LOT of time, knowing that the ashes will enrich the soil and promote the growth of plants that will be used by all manner of creature. That's my route to immortality

I was initially going to be cremated, then I heard how much energy is required to burn you into ashes and I had second thoughts. When I moved here to Alachua County, I discovered that there is a piece of property that is being paid for to be kept in conservation by allowing burials onsite for a fee. I loved the idea and changed my directives to use them.....with just a cheap, biodegradable balsa wood box for a coffin. Look for other places like this.[conservationburialinc.org]

I took inspiration from my late partner. She willed her body to a local University for research. They came and got her body and later returned her ashes to me. I signed up for the program.
There are also lots of programs for organ donation.

Cremation. To me, the two biggest wastes of real estate on the planet are cemeteries and golf courses. I don't want my dead body and some useless box taking up space. What anyone chooses to do after that is up to them. I'll be dead, so it won't matter what I think about what anyone does. Kind of hope they have a party and swap stories about me at my most maddening and ridiculous. Have a drink, smoke a bowl, and remember me with some fondness.

I own a funeral home, I will be cremated and my ashes along with my pre deceased pets will be dumped in the woods near here (aka scattered)

I'm being cremated with no funeral and being sprinkled under a willow tree I planted to help nature.

After my useful organs are taken, my ashes will be crushed and turned into a quite imperfect diamond, after that I could be jewelry, put on display, locked away or even thrown away I don't care. That's up to whomever I leave.

Cremation, no service.

My body is to be cremated. There will be no service of any sort -- no funeral, no wake, no "celebration of life. If my wife outlives me, she has agreed to take my ashes to Kansas. There she and my two daughters are to scatter my ashes on windswept Lucas Point on Wilson Lake -- a lake where I spent many days fishing. Just the 3 of them. I asked that they play the "Ashoken Farewell' -- a beautiful, haunting tune.

Either donate my body to a medical school or for scientific research or else i dont' really care, other than burying me in a grave, as are graveyards in general, is really a waste of space.

Cremation without a prior viewing or trip to bury/scatter, and certainly no religious service. I hope that my wishes are honored for a party with great food, while rolling a reel of my fave movie clips (mostly comedies) for entertainment.

I gave my body to an organization in Tennessee, that will leave my body open to the elements and use the data to fight crime. I want my body to be consumed by life. The way I see it, I fed on flora and fauna my whole life, it's their turn to feed on me and I don't mean that in a morbid way.

I am a Nurse and an organ donor. Provided there is anything useful left of me, otherwise, I want to be cremated and buried in a Bios Urn so I can become a Tree. [urnabios.com]

Oddly, while I am not religious (though I come from a religious background in Catholicism), and while I don't believe in any resurrection nonsense; I do for some reason want to be buried in a quiet location with a headstone. I don't care about the embalming part or a vault. Just a wooden box would be fine. I know the right answer is donate the body to science, or cremation... I just prefer the idea of a burial in the earth and a wooded gravesite with a modest stone marker. Perhaps with a slightly clever caption like: John Doe... Dead. Or, I Told You I Was Sick!

No instructions left, not important to me. When I'm dead I won't be worried about it.

There are 3 Green cemetery desired interment sites one is Iowa's Only INFIDEL CEMETARY rural Bellevue Bevan Family farm inheitors of Captain Elbridge Gerry Potter fortune. ...I hope to organize better facility than Ithaca NY or Greenville S Carolina natural sites

I bequeath my body to the prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Kingdoms

I am making arrangements for full body burial at sea to be performed by The U.S. Navy. It is performed during a regular deployment so no loved ones can attend, A coordinates of the location is sent to NOK for any future 'visitations'

Donated to a university, probably Florida. They will cremate what's left over and send it back to my executrix. She can use it to mulch her flowers...or whatever she wishes.

So far only a request to be cremated. Any suggestions?

I have heard something about natural burial. Please tell me whatever you may know about it.

I heard of organizations that bury your remains in a cloth shroud at the base of growing trees so the roots can feed off your corpse

I'm an organ donor. After that cremation and a small service if any.
