Burials Galore [How do you want to be buried]

[worir4]

When i die i want to be respawned....

[LABHOUSE]

I want to be "frozen;" a kidney can be donated, along with the blood that is replaced with other liquids so I will be vitrified. Some skin from my back can be donated, most of my fat cells can be donated too.

[tater]

I don't care in the least, I won't be around.

[bombo1]

something that involves multiple kilometers per second impact

[Awaras]

I kinda like this idea:

[RainDreamer]

Can I be carbon-freezed like in starwar?

Saving that, incinerated to pure carbon material, then use them to synthesize into a single, tiny, tiny diamond. Have other remaining stuff to be melted with precious metals, and then turn it to a small piece of jewelry with the diamond. Woot, genuine haunted stuff.

[Moss]

I want to be fed to some pigs, have it videotaped, and have the footage displayed in an art gallery.

[Teutooni]

Non fui, fui, non sum, non curo.

In other words, I don't give a damn how I am buried. I suppose I will donate everything usable to medicine/science, as I see that as a sensible thing.

[SemiaCloud]

Throw my naked corpse out the airlock!

[oriramikad]

I'd like to be cremated and have my ashes thrown into the sea. I don't want to stay in one place for my relatives to cry over.

Or maybe I should be chopped up to train working dogs. Hmmm.

Want my body to be sent to Saturn. Not sure why just had an obsession with Saturn since I was very little and it will also mean I'll be the first (and probably last) person to ever go there.

Even though I'll be dead. Still counts.

[SpacePi]

I'd like my water drained, and electrocuted to make it into hydrogen and oxygen, then that hydrogen used for the world's first fusion reactor. Then I'd want my body flung into space, preferably at escape velocity of the solar system.

[Stargate525]

I'm donating my skull to my university's theater department for use as a prop, with the stipulation that I'm credited as an actor in whatever production I appear in. Besides that, I'm going to donate whatever they need from it, and have the rest compressed into a diamond and given to my next-of-kin.

[gamowin]

I want to be cremated, then have my ashes mixed into iron to make various steels, then have a master blacksmith turn the steels into an ornate katana, which will become a family heirloom.

This minus the metal. Otherwise any way is fine but it should be quick, no medical research (unless I die from some rare cause), no organ donations (selfish but that's the way it is), no dissection of any kind.

I like vultures; feeding them seems like a worthwhile thing to do.

[vger]

Is it weird that a reality where there is no afterlife scares me more than a reality with one, but NOT for the reason you're probably assuming?

I have had a great fear for a long time (and advances in science haven't been able to shake me of this) that we do not lose total consciousness when we die. All DETECTABLE brain activity may cease, but I am afraid that I may be somewhat still aware of what is going on, in a subconscious "Johnny Got His Gun" sort of way. I don't think there is any advancement that could convince me otherwise, unfortunately. Especially not when there is enough electrical activity to sometimes trigger reflex actions hours or even days after death. Just... no. I don't want there to be any possibility that I could actually be around when the worms start to eat me. So just incinerate me please.

But if that weren't a concern? I'd want to do the Gene Roddenberry thing.

[ZedNova]

I don't really care, although being burned and having my ashes sent up to space would be cool.

[78stonewobble]

Hmm, well I'm a smoker, so perhaps some kind of special pollution oriented facility is preferable from an enviromental perspective, but in principle I'd just want to fertilize the rhubarbs in the family garden, just like the old family dog did. Them things are tasty.... and I like the idea of giving back.

PS: Uhm, organ donation for whatever works. I won't be needing them (I actually think that should just be law, for everyone). Donating to science? Well, it's the preferred alternative til the garden / rhubarb thing becomes legal.

An opt-out, at least. There are quite a number of religions that specify burial rites, and prohibit the body from being chopped up like that.

No I hadn't... Hmm... Intruiging concept... But I just refuse to get buried in fetal position! I've spent enough time in that one, first months .... then saturdays and sundays on bathroom floors.

[MunGazer]

For the realistic, serious answer - bury me in whatever way is the most cost effective. I don't want any of my friends or family to have to pay funeral expenses.

For the silly answer, there are options:

1. Jam packed with 100 pounds of tannerite, shot by several gun wielding rednecks and uploaded to youtube.

2. Used as a crash test dummy on the tv show 'myth busters'.

3. Dropped into an active volcano via helicopter and uploaded to youtube.

[AngelLestat]

eaten by any kind of animals. I would not be very tasty, but I will help them to survive.
