Mummified would be an interesting choice. Just prop me in a cave somewhere in Spain, and centuries from now I'd be a museum exhibit ! !!

Donated to science/organ transplants, assuming it was actually useful. If not, then buried, everything else being equal. I'm not that bothered, really, I wouldn't want embalming or anything like that.

I don't know, but I worry that when I die my kids will be embarrassed, because nobody else cared enough about me to come to the funeral. So, I'm hoping we'll all live to ripe old ages. That way, we can pretend that all my friends have already died.

Big lebowski is one of my most favorite movies. I guess I would like to be stuffed and put on display somewhere like lennon (Not John Lennon, Donny--V.I. Lenin! Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov!), or skinned and waxed and put in that french museum where that guy did that to a bunch of animal and human cadavers (I forget the name). If not one of the first two choices, then a plain old dirt nap will suffice. I will be dead then afterall.

My family knows that I do not want a funeral. I want a small family gathering like we had for my husbands grandfather. He was a rancher and a loner so we had only family there and it was nice.

I find most funerals to be filled with hypocrits. Have you ever heard anyone say," Well, I'm glad the pain in the arse is dead. She was nothing but a miserable old b***h?" :? I don't want people acting like they are sorry I am gone.

I want my remains to be disposed of in the way that is the least financially burdensome and uses the least amount of chemicals. I don't really care what they do with me as long as it does not involve a big dumb casket and a bunch of poor cut flowers and whatnot....I don't want a grave, as noone would be visiting it anyway....cremation....medical science...fed to lions....whatever...

after anything of use to anyone else has been removed, I'd just like to be left in a forest somewhere for the maggots and anything else to have a go at.

I'd give myself to a bodyfarm (Wikipedia Page) if there was one here.

I still like the idea of dry freezing so they can haul me out for the holidays I think they'd like it as I never was big on holidays and this would be their chance to have me around :wink:

I wish to be cremated. And then thrown into the vat of hamburger meat at MacDonald's so millions of people can eat me.

Embalmed, then placed in a major landmark where hundreds of people pay their respects daily. :P


I don't much care what is done once I've died. Well, I'd rather not have people try to cook me up and then have dinner.

Cooked, and then served in a tasty ragout. :twisted:
