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.

Fitzz, you forgot the clutching of a shotgun but I promise to you that I will do my damnedest to make sure it happens! 
You know what would really be fun, if somehow someone could mount RC cars into my feet, hook my hands into claws, mount a speaker into my chest blaring roars and profanity and then use me to chase people around shopping malls...

I like the idea of going back to nature. I know there isn't an afterlife, and even if there is I don't care what happens to my body once I'm dead.
I have never understood that "No man left behind" sentimental crap the US Rangers started. You remember when two British Marines sat on the wings of an apache in a daring raid to get the body back of a killed comrade?
Sure it made a cool story, but what's the fething point? I would be disappointed if a fellow Marine lost his life going after my unpleasant hairy corpse.
I'm pragmatic so I like the idea of going back to nature or something at least getting something remotely useful out of my body. I want turning into compost or something, then they can grow hops with me so drinkers can get gak faced and vomit on the streets of Britain with some small assistance from me.

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.

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.
This would actually be an awesome scifi film.

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.
