As an atheist what do you want done with your remains when you die?
I want to be fed to something or to be buried in a simple coffin with an oak or elm tree planted over me.
Told my husband to cremate me and put me in a pretty urn...
I want to be made into diamonds for my only daughter.
My usable organs will be harvested then I'll be given to science. Once they finish with me I'll be cremated and my ashes will be given to a buddy of mine who will incorporate them into several large aerial fireworks which will be launched over my farm so my ashes will return to the land I've farmed all these years.
I really don't give a shit. The crematorium can keep the ashes.
Definitely cremation. That way, they can keep some of the ashes and then do that thing where they put my ashes in a pod of dirt and plant me so I can grow into a tree or something.
Yes! That’s what I want too. I’ve also seen where they take the entire body and put it in pods. But I want to be cremated first. It’s a really great idea.
I want to go to a taxidermist and be stuffed.
I don’t know if I will actually carry it out, but I visualize a self-cremation. I might build a pyre, get it burning, climb on and shoot myself with my pistol, thus making a joyful and dramatic exit and side-stepping the medical and funeral industries as well as silly bureaucrats.
A friend told me that it would be a shame to burn up a perfectly good pistol. I have the feeling he’d come over and do the job if he got to keep the pistol.
I'd never do it, but I've thought about something like that. It'd be either that or a Viking funeral, but with my luck, I'd burn to death while cursing at a hopelessly jammed pistol.
I totally couldnt care what happens to my body after I'm dead.
I'm DEAD so it doesn't matter to me.
If it can, in some way, do good (medical research, organ donation, etc) then, I guess, it would be better if it did so. Other than that, feed it to stray dogs - at least they'll get a meal out of it.
Ashes added to that beautiful place would be nice
Organ donor first.....let em have a have a go at whatever I got they need. Whatevers left I'd like scattered off of Buck Rock. Having my
already set up to go to my alma mater. eyes are being donated first.
Ideally I would like to be put in a rocket and sent into the sun. Back to star stuff. Since that's a wee bit totally impossible I'll be cremated and then scattered in a place I'll suggest, or anywhere really. Minimum fuss. I've specified that already.
