Other than being an organ donor, i don't see why it makes sense to care what happens to my body after i die.

I'd like for my body to be taken back to Mexico, and be buried there. Anywhere in Mexico, though perhaps I would like Juarez. I was born there, and my maternal grandfather is buried there.

Donate my organs. As for the rest, burn it in a bonfire and use the fire to cook hot dogs in honour of my love for hot dogs :lol:

I want to be buried.
But only because I want to have a grevastone. Partly because I don't want people to forget me, and I myself think it's cool reading ancient gravestones, so yay for people reading mine in hundreds of years, but also because I once came up with an epitaph that I just HAVE to have, even if it means getting my gravestone made NOW to ensure it!
My epitaph will read "I'd rather be here than Old Trafford."
And I'll be buried in England. Hopefully in Manchester! :lol:

I want anything that can be donated to be given away. Other than that I'm not sure. I'd like to give it up for research, but wonder if they'll keep it for very long, as ultimately I want to be cremated. Then I can be used as fertiliser =D
Generally I want my carcass to come to some sort of use, rather than just being left to rot.

Anything usable to be given to someone who can use it, my skull to be used as a theatre prop and the rest burned. :)

I don't know, so far all I want to do is be cremated. Coffins are waste of money and space but sometimes I think it would be great to laid next to my granny and others that were close to me that have passed away.

What does emballed mean?

I would like to be left in the deep woods for the animals to have at. No box, no bag-- just lay me on the ground beneath a huge pine tree.

There's a company that will turn your remains into fireworks. So it's either that or:

Being shot out of a cannon.
Being burried at sea.
Being shot into space.
Viking Burial ie. burn me with all my stuff.

I would actually donate my body parts so if anything happens to the other person, I'd be kind enough to give them my organs.... But they may be really old though? **That's if I happened to die old**

COOL...well alrighty then how about this;
1st turn my remains into fireworks,
Stuff me into some big cannon,
Shoot it towards the sea,
Upon splashdown,
GO-Fireworks,
No Outer Space for me, fear of heights.
:idea:

Typical Christian burial, and I would want to be embalmed.

I'm an organ donor too. That failing, the absolute ideal would be an aboveground vault. Being buried and cremation both freak me out.
