I'm torn between donating my organs to help save lives vs. donating my body to science. I wish I could do both.

I want to be cremated, put in my girl friends douche, and get in there one final time.

I'm thinking an old fridge box and a trip to the landfill.

I want to rebel from the high costs of funerals and be buried in a refrigerator box in my backyard. Since the law won't allow that, I hope to have enough strength to make it into the woods. It's about time we humans gave back to Mother Nature. I am having second thoughts about donating my body so that others may have my bits and pieces to save their lives. What if my body parts saves a pedophile or rapists or the next crazy, murderous dictator?

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.

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.

Assuming I'd be relatively healthy meat, it would be nice to be laid out on the African Plains, and get recycled into all those wonderful animals (assuming they wouldn't be extinct !). But I l know that's likely not allowed.

So next choice is being part of the Body Farm, to help catch bad guys ! That could work.

I want to be composted.

This particular facility looks like what I imagined the Dying Hospital to look like in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. That sealed the deal. ?

I like the theatrics of being put on a viking longship and set on fire.
I'd really like to be launched into space though.
If my wife's having to deal with it then i'd rather not be a bother and just go in the bin with the other waste on a wednesday night.
Dont have any problems with medical research wanting my body, or being sent to a cadaver farm if thats easier for her.
If my brother is dealing with my funeral then I demand he uses my carcass for something inappropriately funny that may cause mild (but easily recoverable) distress to others.
Im also ok with taxidermy.

I had thought about this before. And I came up with the strange but interesting answer. I want my friends and family to eat me.

So I would always be a part of them...

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 want to be made into diamonds for my only daughter.

Until now I would have said cremated and ashes scattered into the gulf stream, but after reading some comments here I think donating to science is a great idea.

I originally wanted my body to be donated to the body farm. However, I like the idea of being in a pod thingie that grows into a tree...

..go big ..
..i.e. Joe falls in the volcano...

I really don't give a shit. The crematorium can keep the ashes.

Always loved the ocean. So I guess after cremation my ashes will be given to the sea. And if my kids will want to remember my resting place - they will have to go to fun trip to the sea, not sad one to the cemetary?.

It's a pity it involves an afterlife as I quite like the Klingon way. As soon as the body is dead you gather by the body, look upwards, scream/yell very loudly to warn the spirits in Sto'vo'kor that a warrior is coming.
You then throw the carcass away

I want to go to a taxidermist and be stuffed.

I'm going to med school when I die. I've donated myself to science. My daughter wants to go to one of those csi body farms.

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.

I’m an organ donor and would like my body to be cremated so it’s not taking up land and space for no reason. I don’t really care what’s done with my ashes.

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.
