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?
