Burial or cremation?

[Mike_Yates]

When your day inevitably comes, which would you prefer?

 

[Que]

The idea of burial seems claustrophobia inducing, but I will leave behind far too handsome a corpse to burn.

Cremation

 

[Aella_]

This thread is similar to eyer's abortion pics.
People come here to escape from crap, not to find it.
Fuck off…

Graves cost money and you can be dug up , sold or relocated.
Spread me into the wind so be free !

 

[Aella_]

Do you a-holes realise that there might be people around here who've lost loved ones, more or less recently?

 

[Oh_That_Guy]

You're dead, you won't know or care what they do to the body. Pointless to spend any time thinkng about it. Let the family do whatever they want because you will not know if you're in the ground or an urn and they're the ones gotta deal with it.

 

[Fata Morgana]

Burial. Hate the idea of cremation for many reasons. Maybe a Catholic thing, or I don't like being hot.

 

[Hypoxia]

Devoured by beasts.

After my natural death, of course.

The poll choices are much too limited. Omitted:

* Concrete overshoes i.e. burial at sea
* Left atop a platform for vultures to consume
* Left dangling from a rope as a warning
* Dumped into lime pit or acid vat
* Fresh-frozen or freeze-dried
* Ground up for pet food or burgers
* Cast in bronze as a statue
* Egyptian-style mummification
* Encased in concrete as bas-relief
* Liquefied and used as paint
* Used for biology lab experiments
* Bones deposited in an ossuary
* Bones used for church construction
* Long bones used as batons; short bones as beads; skull as a wine goblet
* Soaked in epoxy and microsectioned

But I'm easy. After I die just throw me in the alligator habitat.

Cremation, unembalmed, in my eco-coffin. Then I will be placed in my plant-pod and planted to become/fertilise a new tree.
The idea of being buried filled with toxic chemicals doesn't appeal to me.

Why do you need a special coffin to get cremated? And I'm pretty sure they don't bother with embalming.
Not sure your ashes are much good for anything either but maybe. Some ash is good for plants but not all. I always thought only wood ash could be used.

Standard coffins are manufactured with all sorts of glues and paints/stains.
My eco-coffin is made of recycled cardboard, with no toxic chemicals. And I can decorate it!
Embalming is standard practice here if you're not buried the day you die....
And the ash is mixed with soil and compost in a cardboard pod, into which a seedling is placed and then the whole thing is buried in a forrest or garden.

Chuck me in the sea and let the crabs sort out the mess.

Option 1 Use the spare parts for donor surgery, then let the students chop up the rest.

Option 2 Exposure like the Zoroastrians do, in some high spot where the raptors can eat my carcase.

This feels to me like a question a serial killer would ask. Are you a serial killer?

 

[doctor_insanus]

Cremate me.

Make diamonds from my ashes.

Put those diamonds to good use.

No... not you, Mike.

 

[smoothg103rd]

I'll be dead, so I really wouldn't give a fuck. They can throw my body in the ocean or leave me in somebody's basement. Who cares?

Shining lights, even in death.

You're all diamonds.

Bury me at the center of an acre of land and put this over me

Toast me up and feed me to the fishes. By god I've cooked up enough of them.

 

[Sunshine]

Cremate me and toss me into the wind off a 100 foot bluff in Chilmark.
