I'd like to be Cremated, and for my Ashes to be put in a Routemaster-shaped Teapot. That way, if I have to die of a terrible Illness before my parents die, they can remember the Late CockneyRebel as she really was. They could put the Teapot on their Fireplace Mantel. Hopefully I'll live to be 100, and nobody will have to worry about such a thing. I'd still want the whole Teapot Deal, if I am to die at a very old age.

I voted other because I don't know.

I would like to donate my organs to people that need them, but I don't want my heart beating for a criminal, or my liver working for an alcohol abuser.

I have a bizarre empathy for my organs, I have respect for them and think they should be treated right, and I feel sad for them when I get lazy and eat too much junk, and not enough fruit. Like they are people. They work so hard for you.

That's why it has "non organ donater" on my drivers licence, but I might get that changed in a future decision.

Cremated and my ashes buried in my parent's garden. That's illegal in this fuckning country, of course, but if my mom's still alive, I know she will do it for me. I would never donate my organs so any stupid NT or other fool could survive on my death.

When I die, I will be done with what's left of my body. I can't imagine a scenario where I would care what happens to it.

To be responsible with it, as with any other garbage, I would rather see any still usable parts recycled. A little care to make sure bad people don't benefit from donated organs while we are here makes sense, but when I'm gone I will no longer have any concerns for this realm.

I wanna be cremated and have my ashes rolled into a blunt and smoked by my loved ones... It's a spiritual proccess, for reincarnation... It burns off any possible karmatic debt I may or may not have accumulated in this lifetime, and helps to ensure a better next life. This is what Bob Marley did, and by smoking his ashes, he claimed part of him would remain with his loved ones forever. I believe in this.
Of coarse, I believe spirituality. reincarnation, and magick and whatnot are merely unfounded science and technology, it's Einstein's Spiritual Theory of Everything:

Of coarse they also spoke of many of these things in Aliester Crowley's book "Magickal Theory in Practice"

I want my internal organs to be donated then the rest of my body cremated and the ashes scattered. No viewing, no burial, no grave, no headstone. Maybe a memorial service, but no solo photos displayed: burn all the photos of just me, with me. Oh, and I want all my stuff sold for cash to donate to a charitable investment / trust fund that grows considerably in interest and whose contributions help free people from hunger, homelessness, and sickness while teaching them basic life skills to assist them in developing independent families and communities.

how does one burn ashes? they're already burnt.. maybe they're soaked in petrol? lol :) or perhaps mixed with nitroglycerine or rocket fuel to "help the flame along" :)

hmm.. actually u know what? a ritual like that could prolly spell the end of the human race...!

I'd like to have my various organs and limbs removed and placed at specific points around the world. I want my head at the top of a tree in the Amazon Rainforest, and my heart in Aachen, Germany. I haven't decided where I want the rest to go.

Or I could get stuffed and mounted, and displayed in the Natural History Museum.

organ transplants... medical science... I'd especially like it if someone were to slice up my brain to see if there are any physical differences in the aspie brain - after death, preferably :lol:

Then, as subatai_baadur said, "Dumped in the Canadian Yukon, far away from humanity. Let the wolves have at me."
(better for the envirinment) :lol:

No way some jackass is getting my organs! My liver will be no good anyway.

I want a Viking burial. 8)

I wouldn't want any of my organs taken from me. When I die, I will be reincarnated in Werbert-halla, in the exact same condition it was when I died. I'd be pretty pissed off if I got to the home of the gods and I didn't have a heart or a brain.

Donating my body to science will likely be the last time I volunteer. If this can create a better quality of life for at least one person, then I'm for it.
