No longer my problem. Did just help a relative donate to science when that time comes.

No, not at all. In fact I want my body donated to science rather than put in a hole in the ground. Well, after all usable organs have been removed.

Nope, not at all.?

I'm not going to be there, I don't care what happens.

2

No, I'm more concerned with what happens to it before I die.

I'm trying to think of a way so that my kids can retrieve my skeleton. One of my ideas is to go out into the desert and die in a fine mesh cage so the ants can pick my bones but keep the coyotes and buzzards away.

Nope.

Not at all. I just don't want my sons to be stuck with any expense related to the disposing of my remains. I have considered cremation and also toyed with the idea of donating my carcass to The Body Farm or some similar facility.

0% I want my family to with my body whatever will give them the most peace. I would prefer to not be buried, but if that's what gives the boy peace, he can do what he wants.

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.

No. By then its too late. I want what is called a green burial. That means that the body is wrapped in a cloth (canvas) shroud and buried fairly shallowly. This allows the body to be reclaimed by bacteria, insects, and other natural organisms. Several states allow in select cemetaries.

I plan to donate my body to a forensic research facility.

I am not concerned in the slightest about what happens to my body after I die. I just don't want anyone to be inconvenienced by it.

No embalming. Natural burial in a cotton shroud. Plant an oak or cedar on the grave. Circle of life.

If any of my organs can be used to help anyone then have at it. Then cremation.

1

All I would be concerned about is that my usable organs and other tissues and body parts would be given to someone else who deserves and needs them. Or, if nothing else, that my body be used for scientific purposes. Other than that, I really do not care what happens to this shell when I die. I will no longer have need for it.

0

Not really. I would prefer to be burned and scattered, but it matters very little.

Why should I be. I won't have any consciousness.

Of course... Since I am the only one that Rented it in this life... I don't want it to be consumed by chihuahuas or urban cannibals. Only property I ever acknowledged... When I die... My body belongs to My Mistress... The Sea.

not keen on cremation purely because it seems waste of nutrients and fuel quite like the idea of being used as some sort of fertilizer i believe there is a company doing just this using liquid nitrogen and vibrations to break the body down

I think they say every seven years each cell in our bodies are replaced. If so, our several earlier bodies are already strewn, bit by bit, down the trails we have walked. I don't there's anything special about what turns out to be our final body (except that parts of it may be donated).

I want to be cremated and tossed out on a windy day facing the wind

0

nope. why would i be? i won't exist anymore except in my body of work and the memories of those who knew me, until they too cease to exist. my body won't have me in it (nor will i be anywhere else). it will be of no more use to anyone.
