So which would you guys rather and why? Just something I wondered, what is the most preferred method. For me its cremation, don't like the idea of rotting in the ground.

I prefer not to think about things like that until I'm much, much older.

Sky burials interest me, as do more dramatic forms of cremation such as viking burials.

You should give your body to science. Do something useful and save your family the cost of disposing with your remains. Cremation/burial isn't cheap after all.

Cremation has a high carbon footprint and there just isn't the space in the ground for standard burials.

Definately cremation, for me its more of a, " This vast field of graves could be used for food production." or even better don't bother burning the body just put it ,in a sort of ceremonial way, out in a desert or mountain where vultures/other animals could eat it. There are cultures that do that. Or maybe just a burial at sea for anyone living on the coast.

And no im not being mean, I can understand why people want a grave for a family member, I just feel that the space could be used for something else.

At first I was going to say don't care because I'll be dead, but Howard A Treesong raises a good point giving it to science or to organ donators is a good idea.

I want to be turned into a diamond. I demand that my wife sell the house upon my death to pay for it!

I would like to be buried, but if I get burned to death, might as well go Cremation; hopefully they would give my family a discount.

I am already an organ donor, everything except skin and eyes. But once my organs have been donated I want to be 'put to rest'.

Cremation.

Worms can all make like trees and f*** off.

Cremation FTW. One less for the Zompocalypse.

If my hatred for someone ever grew to the point where I wanted to ruin someone's life, I would probably have my rotting, bloated carcass dumped on their porch. Nothing darkens your day like being investigated for possible involvement in someone's death.

Definitely not burial though, don't like the thought of being buried under six feet of earth.

Want my organs? Fine. Just keep me out of a box.

I clicked other, I dont know why yet.

Assuming I dont rise as undead, descend into the sea or whatever.

I don't particularly care...
I mean, my ideal choice of death is "Vaporised after piloting a super sonic jet into an ICBM whilst singing Danger! High Voltage"
Otherwise i'm an organ donor and whoever is left after i get dusted can do what they like.

Not sure, I don't like the fact of being burned to cinders, and I don't like worms having a party in my eye sockets, I don't want to be used as a test dumby for science even though it IS helpful. I might just go into the navy so it would make sense for a burial at sea...

Immortality. Probably by vampirism, because I can then say "Immortality and immorality."

To all of those people who are considering donating their bodies to science, just make sure you wash up and make clean specimens. Looking at human cadavers this year in anatomy and I don't want to see any syphilis like they had some years ago.

Definitely going to be an organ donor, but I want to be buried. Don't know why, but I just want to. Nothing too fancy, but I want my funeral to be a party and I want to do keg-stands.

Buried in a sea of bodies, face-down in mud slick with the blood of my enemies, with an axe in my hand and the eternal echo of a warcry upon my lips.

Or, failing that, buried in the ground, because I already have my burial song planned.

Well, everyone here seems to raise up some good points. Donating to science would be nice, especially because it helps human beings. Other than that, I would have to say Cremation. Just the though of being buried underground for eternity is just.....weird.

Afterwards I think, the 'eternal echo of a warcry upon my lips' gives it away.

I'll do it the Viking way, burned on a pyre with my family watching. Its been done for my Grandfather and every male member of my family going back centuries.

I plan to do it for my Father, and if I have children, them me. The Swedish blood runs deep in my family.

I want to be buried in a biodegradeable coffin so that my atoms can return to nature.

Pronounced "whorecry" of course.

I want to be buried standing up, but not embalmed. no sense taking up more space than i need, and i dont want to spend more than a year rotting. ESPECIALLY if the "return of the living dead" was right.

I'd like a natural burial. That is, no embalming, and no casket in a concrete vault. A simple pine box that will break down quickly would do just fine. Somewhere where my body can help fertilize the soil, on my family's property, if possible.

Entombed in a lavish sarcophagus in a grand crypt with all of my possessions.


Or, you know, stuck in the ground in a box. That's also fine.

Having to choose between the two seems like a raw deal.

I'm with Dogma, immortality even at the cost of immorality.

Yeah, or that... I'd rather be a lich, though, than a vampire. I mean, as a lich, you simply cannot be destroyed, unless they get your phylactery, which no lich worth his salt will ever allow to happen.

I'd like to be cooked into a stew and served at my wake. The remainder could be fed to any nearby scientists, so I could check off the 'donating my body to science' box also.

Cremation. I dont want my children to have to suffer the pain of shooting daddy in the head when the Zombie Apoc comes

i want to be set on fire and launched off a catapult into a waterfall. then if anything is left,burn it with acid til its gone.

Im going to hold you to that.

Stuffed and mounted over my child's fireplace.

Chowderhead wrote:All I can say is

You see, your mother, my sister and her husband decided to have a child. That child was you, unfortunately you were a sickly child and your parents desperately wanted grandchildren in order to carry on the family name. So using your genetic information from your umbilical stem cells they created a healthier clone of you and put you into cryogenic sleep until they could find a cure for your neonatal disease. That clone went on to marry and have another kid, Avatar, who later discovered the truth of everything in the year 2032. Unfortunately by that time they had discovered a cure to your disease, you had too much freezer burn. Your clone's distraught son went back in time with the cure and gave it to your mom and dad who then gave it to you. However, this means that your clone would never have been made and Avatar began to suffer from changing the timeline. So he is now on a constant mission to make sure you follow the steps of your clone so that you will eventually marry the same woman your clone did in the future and have the same son, thus keeping Avatar alive and in a completely solid state. Its completely obvious Chowder.

Actually ...I'd like to be stuffed, my face set in a snarl and then be propped up staring out of the window...but since that's probably against the law, I'll opt for cremation ...hell I've smoked for most of my life..might as well " light up" one last time.

Actually, I'm a big fan of George Carlin's final request joke.

I want my corpse to be thrown out of a helicopter, and left where it lands, even if it's the mayor's lawn. Other than that, just keep the dogs away from me.

For me, i want to be put on a boat, set out to drift, and then set on fire in said boat with a flaming arrow. My future wife drowning herself is optional however.

Seeing as I want to be an astronaut (no, really. I say this with complete truthfulness) I'd like to go out in some way involving fire and ten tons of rocket fuel.

Having my body burned up on reentry would be the best way to dispose of my remains.

I dont really care, beacause I will be dead then. Its really only a of concern for my family.

And burial before cremation as cremation is very wasteful.

Take my carcass
Throw me in a fire ant bed until only bones remain
polish said bones
put up online as genuine bone

Death? I always planned to ignore that part of life.
But if it should happen to me anyway then I would like people to use my remains as efficiently as possible to make many people and animals happy.

I don't really care about what happens to me after I die, I just care about what I'm doing when I die. Slipping in the tub, not good enough, car wreck, not good enough either. I want to die doing something good, if I die doing something good I don't care how I die either, just as long as I'm doing something I can be proud of when it happens. That way my family can brag about me because I sure as hell won't be able to.

I dunno. My dad died a few months ago, and we decided to have him cremated. I never got to see his body.

Even if it's land mine research at least it being used for something useful.

Useful, sure. "The use you had in mind when you arranged to donate it", not so much - that's my point.

I am an organ donor, though.

My dad wants to be cremated, I will oblige, and then spread bits of his ashes all over the globe. Its been his dream to visit a lot of areas, and he probably won't have a chance to in life, so I intend to fulfill his wish... in death.

As for me, I figured that being dead wasn't cool, so I decided to lived forever, but none of that Golden Throne crap. Being a decrepit corpse kept alive artificially by misunderstood technology and sacrificed human lives seems kinda wasteful...

The alternative is cryofreezing and then launched into space on an extra-solar trajectory.

Nope, living or dead, everyone returns home. Thats why the US gov't spends millions sending people to Vietnam just to find bone fragments of deceased troops. No man left behind means no man left behind. While I agree with the assessment that its a dangerous risk to the lives of American service personnel, I agree strongly with the sentiment.

My dad was cremated.
My little sister keeps his urn (in a shrine and all).

I like to think that the no gravesite/fixed abode fitted him well - he was of Hungarian Gypsy stock after all.

I want to be shot out of a cannon at the first person on The List Of People Who Deserve To Be Hit By A Dead Guy Shot From a Cannon. Its a long list. Please pin a note to my head that says "You never called, so I thought I'd drop by for a visit."

From the last time I saw him alive about 5 years ago to the next time I saw him, which was just a box of ashes. We wound up spreading them in a really nice spot that I'm sure he would have really liked.

But now it's like... it's like he never even existed at all, you know? No place to visit. He's just gone as if he never was. That part is still kind of rough on me. I think I'd prefer to be buried just so, at least for a while, you can point and say, there lies a man.

You're missing an opportunity. Remember a place that has a strong, good memory for you. Thats your place my man. Go there and remember. Occasionally when I am walking his old dog I'll talk to my Dad.

Dunno-- whichever one is cheaper?

Wouldn't want to put a burden on my family.

Sorry buddy I checked with the lawyers, its 1 coupon per person. But if your clever, you could bring a friend I spose

Oh right, that reminds me.

DONATED TO SCIENCE!

A third option

Your all assuming they will find your bodys.... mwahahahahaha... Ahem... Sorry, I have said too much....

Cremation, and then spreading my ashes on the ground. There ya go. I'm freaking dead, don't put my worthless corpse in a stupid box that costs more than a car. I shouldn't be taking up any more space at that point.

Organ Donation. Followed by possible donation to science. Followed by Cremation.

I guess that would be partial cremation?

I've only got the Organ Donation part on my DL, my wife and I have to work out the science details.

Already an organ donor but what happens to me afterwards I don't particularly care. I was originally afraid of being buried alive so I always wanted to be cremated, but if they've already removed my heart and stuff I don't have to worry about it.

I would like to be launched out in to space. Like, say the next time we launch a satellite with the intentions of it leaving our own solar system. I wanna be on that sucker.

I also like the idea of Immortality. Who needs morals when you cant die?

I wish to be cremated, my ashes put into a capsule labelled "Fine Spices from 20XX Time Capsule" (whatever year it happens) and then buried.

I would of course expect instructions on what meals to be used in.

Donate all the squishy bits to science

Burn the rest, maybe stick the ashes in an urn

But I do want my pretty, white, bleached skeleton intact and put up in a science classroom or something.

I was deadly serious about the diamond:

Think I will get it written into my will or something...

I agree with you in principle, but... The problem with this is by "science", most people don't envision their body being used for, say, land mine research. Science is a pretty wide umbrella, unfortunately.

I'm aware of that. Not that particular example, but lots of bodies are used in forensic science where they let you rot in a variety of ways to study decomposition under different conditions. Still a lot more useful than being incinerated.

Wait spam bots know necromancy now?
