Niether man, I want to be put in a crypt, I can't imagine being put in the ground to rot and be eaten by worms and such! Or being burnt, no way! Bustramp
definitely cremated. then my family can do with my ashes what they wish, whether it be keep them, scatter them, or just forget about them. I don't really care about the body, as long as they have good memories of me, that's all that matters, right?
My organs and useful bits will go to those in need of transplants, and the rest I want to go to the Medical Science research people. BUT If the choice is going to be burnt or buried, I say burnt and my ashes mixed with Anthrax and put into a large Biological weapon, which would then be dropped on the Phelp's compound.
Buried, but not in a casket, the traditional way. I want to be buried in a burlap bag (so I can actually become one with Mother Earth), and have an Oak tree planted on top.
i already have my donor card filled out, keep the useful bits, but if i'm left mangled i still wanna be cremated
i wish to be left to rot next to a tree. i don't want my body to be trapped beneath the ground or turned to ash i would prefer to donate my body to the birds so they may eat the flesh from my bones.-i'm being completely serious when i say this.
i'm a gravedigger amongst other things ......funny how misconceptions still exist in this day and age .........being buried alive???no chance of that ,,,the embalming process takes care of that ...as far as worms?? maggots eat dead matter but an embalmed person in a casket is not usually a place that flies will lay their eggs ........after years of being buried i have yet to see a casket reopened either for reburial or for whatever reason that there was evidence that maggots had ever been in the coffin ......as far as my choice ??whatever is cheaper for my family but i do have requests for my wake ......i want a flat topped coffin ....in lieu of flowers ,bring booze ......i want a party and use the coffin for a bar .......my friends understand but i'm afraid the parish priest is against the idea ...lol
I would really like to be cremated at home in my backyard,(which is 100 acres), just set up a pyre and have a ceremony with my loved ones present. I feel this would put people in touch with the experience of death, and would have a lasting impression on the concept of the finality of life in this body. This is illegal and probably infeasible, but ideally this would be my preference.. I would never want to be buried and have people left behind thinking of me lying in a coffin , decomposing. I also would like to avoid the situation where friends and family felt they needed to go to a cemetery to visit with me. I would not be there, and it would be a mistake to think so. I think some people would stay forever in the place where there loved one was buried, perhaps feeling like they could never move anywhere else if they wanted to, feeling it would be disloyal. My partner and I want to be cremated and then scattered in the ocean, because all the bodies of water are connected, and I guess then when I thought of them, I could imagine they were everywhere, and I believe that would give me the greatest peace.
I have no idea, I used to know that I want to burried. But now I'm not sure, I mean what if I'm not dead, they just think I am, if I'm cremated then I'm dead, that will kill me, but if I'm not, I could be just sitting around for a couple of hours and the ways I KNOW I don't want to die are: suffocated, hunger, drowning or being run over by a milk float
