Hamsters get inside of the caskets and eat the words inside.
You want to know if you’re going to rot anyway?
Yeah. That bother’s you?

The [url=]Master speaks. You begin to liquify.
Now that we all know what happens (except the OP, who’s left the building), do most people really care what happens to their corpse?
Not me.
I plan on having my body packed tightly into a large airtight container and sent through the postal service with a fake address and without a return address.
Eventually I’ll scare the hell out of somebody working the late shift at some post office.
Good one, clayton_e.
Wait a minute, that’s mean. You know you can go to hell for stuff like that. And I’ll probably see you there for laughing.
Now, how can I top that?
Hmm is it a crime to mail a dead body through the mail?
Gotcha Ya!
your not allowed to mail human remains (that means no turds in the mail either)
Well, I think airtight caskets are fitting.
I mean, for all those years people had the idea of death “returning them to the dust from which they are made.”
And nowadays we know that we’re actually descended from slime.
Give me the big oven and bury my ashes beneath a young tree so that I may grow into its limbs and leaves and become one with it.
My body won’t be decomposing at all. I’m going to save being dug up 200 years after my death to make way for a new road, so instead I’ll go right for cremation.
Everybody keeps saying “I” and “me” when referring to their dead body. After you die, your body is an “it”. Carrion. Corpse. Cadaver. I think I’ll let the young medicos at Stanford play with mine after I no longer need it.
What happen’s to the “I” and “me” after we die is a mystery to us.

I believe it was Anthony Hopkins who said that he wanted his ashes put into egg timers, so that he would finally be serving a practical purpose.
Sounds good to me. . . .
I want something similar… To be burned, then mixed into a slurry, and swallowed by a porn actress.
What? I’m sure they already have a sub-genre of that sort in Japan…
So, in death, Spit will be transformed into Swallow?
There’s a deep spiritual metaphor in that. Or not.
Jesus! I thought I’d get around to dealing with this sooner or later.
Yeah, but it’s not MY corpse that interests me, it’s those of other people! 
I know about the column Cecil wrote. That got me thinking about this. That a corpse “partially liquefies” is rather intriguing.
So my concerns are:
“Liquefies”–What kind of consistency are we talking about? Is the liquid watery or is it some kind of (forgive me if I sound crass) goo?
“Partially”–Do just specific parts liquefy? It’s pretty clear that the skeleton wouldn’t, but is it specific tissue types that do this or is it just a generalized liquification all over the body? If given enough time, does the whole corpse liquefy?
What kind of fluids are formed? I remember a documentary on the Discovery Channel about criminology that had a segment on the University of Tennessee’s “Body Farm” describing the various things they do there, among which is the practice of sealing donor cadavers in airtight boxes and collecting the resulting fluids.
You can mail cremated human remains. I got my cousin in the mail. . . . . not UPS not, Federal Express. . . . . the mail.
I want my ashes spread over Dave Matthews.
What if you go before he does? He might get pissed…
