My drivers license lets whoever first ends up with my corpse take as many of my organs as they can use. As for the leftovers, I have some money set aside to have them cremated and disposed of at sea. I like the idea of green burials and such, but can't afford them. I'm trying to leave as much money as possible to whoever my survivors are.

I'm not so much decided on something specific, just so long as I'm not locked in a box. I am an organ donor, but beyond that, I could be just as cool with being buried in a way to decompose the rest of me usefully for vegetation, or a viking burial at sea. On the other hand, transhumanist tech could possibly make death nearly a choice--dare I say, within my lifetime. I suppose when I'd choose to go then, again, just wanting to be useful in some way, without needing my body nicely coffined for the rapture.

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

I am donating my body to science. The returned cremanes are to be interred with those of my husband. That way, our children will have a sense of "where we are."

Have you considered a green burial. There are green burial cemetaries. You are wrapped in simple cloth covering and buried in shallower grave. The idea being that your body will decompose and give nutrient back to the environment. Nor all states support or allow. Colorado and New Mexico do.

I’ve always wanted to rot wheee I fell like any other animal, but because of this thinking man nonsense, cremation.

Donated to science, maybe they'll radiate me and bring me back as the first superhero!

I want cremated and used to feed a tree pod. I want to be a big beautiful tree!

1. My brain is going to a neurology study.
2. Rest of my body to whatever science wants me.

I've given my life to science, I'll give my death to science too.

You should look into Bios Urn.

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.

I really dig this concept: [eternalreefs.com] I could definitely enjoy attracting marine communities to congregate for future generations' fishing and scuba diving pleasure.

I want my body donated to science. Anything that is leftover can then be buried so that I can fertilize a new generation of something.

I'd love to be put into a capsule - frozen and then launched into space only to be discovered by Aliens lol.

I don't care.

Whatever my family choose to do with them and whatever Iis cheapest. They can bury me in the garden for all I will care.

That said, I really always wanted a Viking funeral - sent out to sea in a burning longboat!

That'll do nicely thanks.

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've told my kids to take my ashes mix them with clay , mold 1.5" balls , glaze and fire them and hand them out as party favors at my memorial get together . If I know my kids its not gonna happen . Get rid of the body as soon as possible I'm dead your alive move on I loved you .

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 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 have signed up for MedCure. When you die, they pick up your body for medical tests and after about 6 weeks they cremate it and give the remains to family. This is all free, you simply make one phone and they do everything and if it will help someone, I'm all for 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.
