Nope, not at all.?

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.

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

1

Cremation. The instructions are in my will.

1

no, and I want it done as cheap as possible

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

“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

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

1

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

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

Nope.

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

it decomposes

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

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

1

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

1

Absolutely not. Donor and then cremation.

1

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

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.

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.

Not in the slightest, especially since I'm being cremated. 🙂
