When you die?

[geonagual]

Do you want to be buried in a traditional casket?

Cremated?

Donate your body to science?

have your carcass dragged into the woods to be food for the animals?

Dropped out of an airplane into the ocean so you can be fish food?

Be dragged around by your friends, place in chairs in the upright position so people still think your alive?

I should make a poll, but I am sleepy..not sure what that has to do with anything..

cremated all the way, i dont like the thought of being buried in the ground, even when im dead. maybe ill have my ashes shot into space like Shoemaker. (the geologist)

i also think it takes up way too much land being buried in a cementary*twocents*

I want some of my DNA extracted and my body preserved (frozen) before I die, then launch me into space. [with the small capsule of DNA] in hopes that I can meet a more intelligent life-form.

Either that or meet a black hole..

I guess, when I die, I'll laugh at myself because I'd know that I was wrong and we never reached a perfect peace, on Earth.

Cremated for sure. :thumbsup:

My parents and family all know that too as I have told them. I don't want to be buried in a fucking $3000 box just to be buried into the ground. That just doesn't sound comforting to me.

No church session either. No, "lord take this man" or "now he is ith god" stuff. I don't want it as, I won't go into it, but I don't believe in God.

Just burn me down and set my ashes free in the ocean.

LMFAO, well i was planning on just getting buried, but that sounds like a fantastic idea.

I'm a registered organ and tissue donor. After they harvest the viable material that is needed from my corpse, I want to be cremated.

I'm an organ donor, too, although there's some question about whether my organs, at least my heart, would be in much demand.

I hope my son and his family, and my husband, too, if he survives me, will do whatever works best for them. If they prefer to cremate me, which I think makes the most space- and money-saving sense, then they can dispose of me that way. If they decide to bury me (which is what I'd choose for myself), I want a green burial. No concrete vault. No embalming. A biodegradable wooden or fiber casket. Nothing artificial that would slow down the natural process of decay or leech formaldehyde into the earth. I'd like to be buried in our family cemetery in Louisiana, where my sister Bess, my grandparents, someday my parents, and our ancestors dating back to before the Civil War all rest. Problem is, it's not a designated "green burial" site, so they might have to get some special dispensation to bury an unpickled, non-vault surrounded body. I'm hoping that by the time I go, green burials are the norm instead of the exception. I hope that either way, whether I'm cremated or buried, my remains will be next to those of my husband.

My family has their own cemetery also Birdgirl! I want to be creamated and scattered there.
I'm thinking, as I get older ,of tatooing, dnr, no autopsy, and no emblaming me.
When it's over, it's over.

Organ donor first and foremost, then burn my body to ash, and spread my ashes in the columbia river with My mom's, and my ashes will meet hers out in Pacific ocean
