I actually have to go look at the paperwork...
I can point to the space when I go there.

If it was me I would just like to be put in a white sheet and buried in the ground so I could give back to the soil. But I don't think that's legal. So light the pyre.

i wanna jump off a skyscraper holding a live grenade, so i can pull the pin and then the explosion will rain little pieces of whistle on the passers-by below.

i shoulda been a pigeon.

interesting.

I understand they now have caskets at Wal-Mart on-line for under $1000 so I guess I'll go with burial.

I guess it's because of what I've seen in movies...I know in these times they make sure you are dead, but it's just a scary thought I have.

Burial with all parts intact.

I used to have that same fear about burial or cremation. But while the embalmer pumps your blood out they pump in fromaldyhyde into your body.

A green burial seems the most eco-friendly, but aside from my wife, I can't see ANYONE in my family being cool with that. Cremation is the next best option that won't actually stir up a bunch of crap among them.

It's legal depending on your locale. Check out these sites:

I've signed up to have my body sent to Emory University. I'd like to claim nobility, but the truth is I'm cheap all the way to the grave, and you can't get much cheaper than free body disposal. The only cost will be the cost of transporting my body there which has already been tentatively arranged for around $250. They could use me as a comedy prop for all I care. I'll be busy being dead.

Cremation and a burial in my family plot.

my partner is def cremation. . i'd probably be leaning toward cremation as well.

buried - quiet funeral - no flowers - but afterwards have a big party

on my gravestone will be the immortal words

"See ya later"

My Dad told me that a long time ago when people use to get buried alive,that they would put a bell in the casket,so that if they had actually been buried alive they could ring the bell,and get help out.

I would freak out if I woke up six feet under.

When was the last time you gazed upon one?!

P.S. This thread is morbid!

Oh, you're asking what we'd prefer for ourselves. That's no fun.

Death by firing squad.

I would ring that thing off it's string.

Definitely creamation.

Except of course if I die with an erection--then Taxidermy.

immortality is a better option than either of these.

No. Life is a one way road to death. No one gets out alive.

Burial. My Sister was cremated last year. Made me sad to think of her in an oven then grinding up her bones.
