cremated. I just found a site called medcure where you can donate your body to science and they'll cremate it for free after they're done with it.

That's for my survivors to decide. I won't care. I'll be dead.

I hope for the third option of being composted and returned to the earth via gardens or maybe a tree.

Isn't that a burial minus the caasket?

You seen these guys? [capsulamundi.it]

@MattHardy That's pretty damned cool! At the rate of societal detioration worldwide it would be a good concept. Possibly mandatory. We wouldn't be able to see the forrest for the trees!

@IAJO163 It could be that simple. The version I saw was vertically intigrated so multiple bodies could be processed in a temperature controlled process anf the soil and non-compostible items (ex. surgical implants) removed at bottom.

@MattHardy that is a cool idea as well especially if they would allow them in an area that had been ecologically damaged.

Eaten, by wolves, in wood buffalo park, Canada - where I will go to die

Cremated. I don't want to be resurrected at the second coming.

I hope by the time I die, being buried right in the ground would be legal where I live. If not, I have already made arrangements to be cremated. I really don't care what happens to the ashes. Mix them with all of the other ashes so I can have some company 🙂.

Cremated and I want to rolled up and smoked along with putting the rest of me in the ocean to feed the many fish that fed me.

@IAJO163 I can't believe you have to have some sort of permit to have your ashes tossed in the ocean...lots of people making money on the business of dying...pfttt...we just took my sister's FIL on a fishing trip with us and oops...he fell overboard (his ashes, I mean... 😉)

Both, and then plant an apple tree with my ashes.

Level 9

Body to science (medical school - not the chop labs), then cremated. Why - help out science and most burials anymore insist on concrete vaults; just let me rot and that would be fine.

Scientifically I'd be a sci-fi horror movie in a lab. lol.
