I have registered to be an organ donor so i think cremation for whatever remains.

someone at work said he wants to be cremated and have his ashes scattered at the MCG so that when his team (melbourne demons) finally win a premiership he will be there. AFL fans will get what he means.

I have chosen cremation, the thought of being buried alive and getting eaten by worms isn't appealing

I'm already an organ donor, so once my organs have been removed for those who need them, I'd prefer to be cremated. It's cheaper and takes up less land than burial. I'd like my ashes scattered someplace like the ocean or other place I consider to be special.

And I always said why would anyone want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. :D :D

I've said this before, and I'll say it again:

Cremate me, then take my ashes to the beef processing plant for McDonalds,
and throw me in the beef processor for their hamburgers. I want to die knowing that
billions will eat me.
