I always wanted it to rot where it falls, but society and shit...

That reminds me of that old show on HBO, at the end when Pullo dumps the chick that killed his wife out in the street and it pans back to show her still rotting in the street some time later.

@Minta79 not familiar with it

@NothinnXpreVails Rome. That was a pretty major detail to leave out... The show was called Rome.

Cremated. Ashes mixed with tea leaves and served as a piping hot cup of tea to whoever would freak out the most when they're told they just drank a person. Probably a vegetarian.

Yes, I prefer no embalming and a quick cremation...then scattered with the ashes of all my furbabies on a mountain side somewhere.....

Quick cremation, no preservatives, no service, no viewing, just burn and urn.
If they want a viewing then they should have visited.
I'm using your idea about the fur-babies, thanks, I never thought of that. I have wondered what would happen to them after I go. Not that I would have them euthanized, but the ones who have passed before.

No. I used to tell my daughter to burn me and flush me. I have purchased a death plan, cremation and ashes dumped at sea. Done and paid for. She doesn’t have to do anything except a phone call.

that's super responsible!

When I left the attorney's office after signing the will and the trust...I felt like such an ADULT! 🙂

Nope. I've made it clear that I want to be cremated.

@tshaaj Cremation is much cheaper than the traditional funeral and burial.
I'm not going to be "burdening" anyone.

Nope. It just better not be injected with formaldehyde & alcohol dressed up like a mannequin & place in an over priced jewelry box only to be placed in the earth. My corpse should be recycled into the great compost of million year old carbon & star dust from whenst it came. Organs donated. Remnants scattered on Mesa Verde National Park.

I'd be ok with the Alcohol part...
Spiced Rum would be my preference - but I would also prefer to be alive when they start...

Yes. Donate anything that is not too decrepit to use, do NOT embalm. I would really like one of those compostable urns you can plant a tree in. I don't want to take up any real estate or poison the earth.

I got mine online and already have my cremation paid for. Picked a Maple tree for the urn.

1

Yes, what if a bunch of Catholic priests are around?.lol

Don't worry, you're too old for priests.

2

Nope.

My preference is stick me in a giant blender. Liquify me. Spray me over a big patch of California Golden Poppies.

This sounds awesome!

I could care less as I am through using it. I have donated my body to the Uni. of Conn. medical school. Maybe it will help someone. I am also an organ donor.

I have willed my body to the U. of Texas medical center and it is a good feeling to know that I may be the instrument to train some future medical professional who will find the cure to humanities most devasting healh issues and I will have done more after my death than I ever did while alive.

Organ donor, rest goes to University of Manchester medical department.

No it's a empty shell.

1

Nope. Donate usable organs and cremate the rest (or some other environmentally friendly disposition).

1

Yes! I hope I don't leave too much of a mess. Not how I want to be remembered.

0

Nope. Just donate all possible organs and bury me anywhere.

1

it decomposes

1

Nope. Honestly couldn't care less. No longer my problem at that point.

1

no concern at all.
If i have the choice - and as discussed with my family - cremated and scattered at the lake/cottage, a little metal plaque mounted on the cottage.
We'll have a wall of ancestors.
Good times.

Yes. I want my body donated to the Mayo Clinic to be used for research purposes. It'll at least serve a purpose that way to help advance scientific research. If anything of mine can be donated to others before that, I hope it is.

1

That reminds me... I decided to donate my body to science. Got the application packet in the mail but haven't had a chance to complete the paperwork and send it back in yet.

I likevthe idea of planting a tree above me and using me for fertilizer. But on the other hand, cremation is much cheaper so sprinkle my ashes in a forest.

No, not at all. At that point, I no longer exist as an organism. All dead organisms decay.

1

Nope.

No. Although I do have plans for it I would like to donate it to science. Otherwise I want to be cremated, just for economic reasons. I still want a cool gravestone though, really old-school.
