How are you going to dispose of the body?

Cremation, then scattering in one of two places, depending on if I predecease my wife (my choice of locale then) or not (hers). It’s in our wills and everything. After useful bits are taken, of course.

I’ve always liked the idea of being made into a diamond.

Whole body donation to science.

I want to be burned on a massive pyre. Then I want my blackened bones to be used for… I dunno, something, like something CRAZY. Maybe someone could wire my skeleton together and scare people with it, or paint it and use for decoration. Maybe make tools out of it. Something cool.

Organ donation; after that I don’t really care. I suspect my loved ones will opt for burial or cremation, but I have no preference. I’d prefer something more dignified than being stuffed and mounted over the fireplace or fed to wolves, though.

While many of those sound better to me than the casket, vault, cemetery, etc., check your local laws.

Part out what’s useful, burn the rest.

Wait, what? MOL is married? :confused:

Or are you just planning to marry a fine young thing some time in the future? :wink:

I think Breaking Bad showed the proper solution here.

Organ donation and cremation, with my ashes scattered in the scattering garden at Cave Hill Cemetery and a memorial tree planted there. That’s what we did with my mom (minus the organ donation) and my husband and I decided then that we wanted the same for ourselves.

Organ donation and donating to a body farm, if they are compatible.

Another vote for “better idea”.
That being organ donation, and then medical research, and then creamate dump where ever.
It really should have been a category, given the number of people who chose that option.

I want any usable organs transplanted to someone in need. What remains can be cremated.

Donate whatever is left that’s worth donating, as for the rest of it…

Just chuck me in a hole, or leave me layin’, it don’t matter to me… “Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms.” :wink: (Apologies to Clint Eastwood/The Outlaw Josey Wales)

Reanimation, followed by eating all of your BRAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNNNZZZZZ!

Actually, if it were truly an option in our society, this is the one I would take. Just leave me on a ridge somewhere and let the buzzards have me.

i think i’m related to potter and riddle. i want to be cremated and my ashes scattered on the grounds of my alma mater (studied there from primary all the way to masterals.)

Please for everyone who is reading, be sure that you have a will and a living will. Also, be sure that thething in writing and legal. I’m sad to say that I know people who have lived longer than they shoud have because their families refused to let them go.

I got better, but I was only flatlined for 7 minutes. Someone who is flatlined for days and months and years might want to get it over with. Make your choice now. You don’t know what tomorrow will bring.

After organ donation, and a dignified compaction process, it’s one last trip to Punkin Chunkin!

Waaaaahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
