Are you very concerned what happens to your body after death?
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.
Some what, my family is nice enough not to give me a god-based funeral. I have signed up to be donated to the local med school as a cadaver for classes: students know your name and how you died. Then my family gets your and ashes of others sent to them when the students are done with me,(I am okay with other peoples ashes with mine, I am pretty friendly anyway). On,the other hand, I would feel happy if I knew they would feed me to bears, except that bears might learn that people are tasty, and that could result in some nasty live people/bear interactions. I generally think funerals are for the living and have instructed family to have me burned and take the ashes someplace they think would make me happy, or I can hang out in there house in a coffee can (but not cheap brands, I hate when people bring crappy coffee to work). To make it right and theme it towards me, they all should be late to the funeral, just as my body will be, ( I get lost and am late when I try to get to a new place consistently).
Not really, it's not as if I can do much about it. I suppose the one thing would be is that I don't want a grave, that would mean upkeep for someone and in your face reminders, all the good stuff should be in your heart and head. So scatter my ashes in the compost at a garden project I'm involved in, that'll do
Nope. Take anything that might be useful (though at my age and health status that might not be anything) and burn the rest. Do whatever you want with the ashes, I'll be gone and won't care a bit.
Not really, but I'd like to think some good would come of my corpse. Something like being turned into fertilizer or medical research.
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!
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.
Nope! Everyone important knows it's cremation & sprinkling for me.
I want someone to invent time travel after i die and come get me.
NO. I prefer to be cremated and my ashes buried to help a tree grow, however.
Not at all, I will be done with it. If I truly had a choice, I would want to have my body left in the desert for the coyotes and vultures to feed on. The legal options all seem wasteful to me.
I want to be cremated and tossed out on a windy day facing the wind
