      Tell me what you would want done with your dead body.

      A little macabre, but at the same time, optimistic.

      As for me, I always thought it would be a good idea to scatter my ashes on a patch of ground and plant an oak there, and since ash is very fertile, you could say I was essentially part of that oak. Either that or just put my coffin under the tree, but I could see it being broken open by roots and the like...

      If that doesn't happen, one of those old, quiet, tree-surrounded cemeteries would do nicely. Nothing by any roads. Oh, and I would like to be buried in Europe. You know, one of those really old cemeteries that have been long forgotten, and if a local tells you to go over the ridge and a ways into the forest, you'll find it in a clearing.

      I know people who want their bodies in cryo. That's a little creepy for me, but if there ever is a life-rescusitating machine developed in the future, and it works on preserved, frozen bodies, you'd still have to deal with coming back to life in a preservative embalmed, frozen, withered dehydrated body. I'd rather rest in peace, thank you.

      Errr, I would have chosen a different way to word the title of this thread, but anyway...

      Quite honestly, I don't care in the least what happens to it. I'll be dead and won't care either way. Whatever my loved ones want and feel is right would be the best way to go.

      I'm an organ donar, so that part I've taken care of anyway. Whatever they can't use, they can burn. I don't care as long as the government sets up an official "Skysaw Day."

      Cremated, having my ashes stuffed into a rocket and shot into space.

      That way, if of my loved ones want to pay their respects, instead of visiting a grave site or something like that, all they have to do is look up.

      Well you can't ask how you would like to be buried, and disposed sounds creepy, so you give me a title

      What if that's only true at 3am when nobody wants to be getting up? Surely, a trip to the cemetery is more convenient

      I want to be part of the "Bodies" exhibition... maybe not hehe. I have not decided yet.

      And so you're saying you wouldnt care if your dead body was used as a biological canister for a contagion of smallpox fired at a third-world country?

      My brother is studying to become a biomolecular technology thingy, and he has talked about moving humanbrains into robots, thus retaining counsciousness, and having infinite life aswell. If he manages to build it before we both die, I would probably move myself into such a device.

      As for my dead body, I would probably have all my organs donated (those that are useful anyway) and then just get me buried somewhere. Doesn't matter that much to me.

      I agree. I'm dead so I'm not going to care. Doctors/scientists can grab the organs they want and just burn the rest of me. I don't want a fancy, expensive urn, either. Just shove my ashes in a coffee can and when they can, my relatives/friends can dump me on some coffee plantation (Kona would be nice, I think). That way, if anyone ever wanted to pay their respects, all they have to do is raise a glass and sip away

      If they couldn't do that, just throw me in a garden somewhere or something. I don't want an expensive funeral, either. Just a simple memorial service with a potluck afterwards. As far as flowers, hopefully I die when the lilacs are in bloom. But even flowers aren't necessary. "Don't scatter roses after I'm gone; give them to me while I carry on."

      Meh, I'm dead. I don't need a lazer-light show.

      Actually, I've just come up with the perfect burial for me.


      I would like to be buried in 100 kilos of cannabis

      LOL!! What the hell. So I'm supposed to clarify upon dying that I don't want my body to be used as a bomb and dropped on Hiroshima? I was being reasonable in my reply to your thread.

      Anyway "What would you like done with your body after death" sounds a little less morbid. It doesn't matter all that much in any case.

      Nobody wants to donate to the travelling human body exhibition? Can't remember the name though...

      A friend of mine said he wants to be emptied out and filled with all his earthly possestions, then broken open, pinata style.

      I would rather be incinerated, but I still want a tombstone.

      Thats not the worse one. He has two ways that if he ever commited suicide, a way it would go.

      The first is he wants to be shot up with a lot of novicane, so he can still walk, but cant feel anything, then jump into a wood chipper feet first, and see himself shot up onto a canvas. his friends would then dry it, sell it, and use the money for beer money!

      The second, was wear coveralls, fill them with candy, then jump off a building. all the people that walked by would say; "Poor guy, must have been really depres-- Oh! A Snickers!"
