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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1

Absolutely not. Donor and then cremation.

1

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

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.

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...

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

1

Nope. I would want to be as useful as possible in death (organs donated, fertilize a tree), but other than that it doesn't matter. I think sometimes about making my funeral into an activist party of some sort. It'll have awesome music.

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

1

it decomposes

1

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

1

Nope.

Donate body to science or plant my body under a tree.

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

1

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

“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”

― Neil deGrasse Tyson

Donate all organs possible and burn what is left, the best solution, cheap, easy, fast, environment friendly.

1

no, and I want it done as cheap as possible

1

Cremation. The instructions are in my will.
