I have donated my body to science. When they are done with it, they cremate the remains and return them to the family. I have instructed my children to do whatever they want with me. I am DEAD and do not care!

Cremation, then mixed in/up with predeceased husbands cremains, then out to sea we go . . .

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.

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’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.

already set up to go to my alma mater. eyes are being donated first.

Plant a redwood or walami pine... your atoms will live on in the tree for another 3000 years!

I want my ashes to be scattered on the Kansas prairie around Wilson Lake.

My cremains are to be dealt with as my survivors see fit. We have talked about what they want and I am more than ok with it.

I'll be dead.
Not my problem.

I'd like to be cremated, and have the ashes compressed into a gemstone, so I could be mounted in a ring or other heirloom piece, and worn by my descendants on special occasions.

"Mom, can I wear Grandpa Derek to the prom?"
"As long as you don't loose him, sure! He'd love that!"

I like that idea... Trees growing from our remains.

That sounds good to me.

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

My first choice would be to have my remains donated to science and let them use whatever the heck they want to. I'm dead, what do I care.
Second would for me to be cremated and scattered over various places that I really like. Maybe also pick a nice spot and plant a tree where my ashes are mixed with dirt used in planting the tree.
I don't really get the point of graveyards. We don't need to bury our dead. That just seems like a waste of space.

Cremated and then my ashes spread in either a vineyard or Gobeklitepe. I can not fathom the thought of being buried in a box filled with chemicals. What a stupid concept.

I thought i wanted to donate them to medical science and sent off for the forms then found out that they might now want my dead body and it would have to be disposed of some other way so probably cremation...

Told my husband to cremate me and put me in a pretty urn...

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

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.

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

I told my family casually, I’d like to be dumped in the ocean, whole, (deep water) I figure it’d be the most cost efficient, bio friendly disposal method. No need for monuments, morticians and cemeteries are the only beneficiaries of these rituals.

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?.
