Cremated or buried?

[Ezzy]

I would like...

Assuming it to be possible by the time I die; to be taken into space and fired in towards the sun. Not to be toasted to a cinder, but to make a slingshot pass of the sun and head out into deep space.

Who is to say what will happen to this body of mine if I do get my wish, but I hope enough of me is along to enjoy the ride.

My organs are only on loan to me for the duration of my life.

I agree. If any part of my body can help someones life better after I am dead, I would absolutely want them to have it. Then I want to be cremated, nobody saves my ashes. No cemetary. Ick. The people who love me will have their memories to remind them of the person i was while i was here

Buried. I want a physical place my family can come to grieve, or dance, as the case may be.

And I'd be happy to leave my balls to Kid Rock. Apparently he doesn't have any.

Under the arch of

weatherstained boards...

I don't wanna be buried....inna Pet Sematary...


I doubt there will be much left of me...

Cremated....my wife said she wants to put the ashes in a douche and run me through one last time...

But then again I have always enjoyed making an "ash" of myself.

 

[DarkAngel]

Just throw me in a bush... Let the dogs feed off me

 

[Ajax]

Fuck it

Take whatever body parts that are of use to someone else and dump me in the deep blue sea...

 

[Mischka]

I plan on leaving my body to science/medical school/organ donation, and I hope they use so much of me up that the remainder can be mixed in the composting heap. That to me would be the ultimate in efficient use of materials.

Mistress, as you are the only one so far that wants to be buried (or entombed, rather), have you found your coffin yet? It's not too soon, since there are now 101 other documented uses for a coffin:

After all my organs are occupying someone else's functions.....

I want to be put into a meat grinder and then have a walnut tree planted over my remains. That tree will be quite healthy and grow quickly, and most likely drop nuts on people who try to carve their initials into the trunk. Or maybe I just want to be that tree in "Sleepy Hollow."

 

[nytbrat]

mistress, i'm with you...don't want to be buried or burned...i'm willing to donate the organs...

Great Idea! As far as I'm concerned, they can take what's usable and get the rest back into the eco-system.

Part me out, Torch the rest and....

scatter my ashes to the 4 winds.....


i'll be off talking to my Dad or Great Grandfather...

or a couple of my friends.... or Einstein...

 

[Cheyenne]

Neither, I will not be burned, and to hell with ya if you try to stick me in the ground.
Actually ever since I was a little kid I have been working on plans for a small tomb, above ground. Shrugs

They have those, called mauseleums (sp?. Big buildings of dead people. This is the option most of my family wants for themselves. I decided "no" based on logic in evaluating the damage that tornados (or earthquakes, depending on where you live) can do. I have this vision of the mauseleum being hit by a twister and dead bodies being scattered to the wind. I didn't like underground, either, because all I could think of was worms and maggots. Cremation, after organ donation, seemed the best long term choice to me.

 

[Pyper]

I like to walk around mausoleums (and cemeteries too) just to look at all the names and dates and stuff. It's interesting. The only thing about mausoleums is: they smell. Not like decay or anything. Most of the ones I have been in smell very distinctively of human ash. Yeah, you heard me. Some people elect to have their ashes stored in a mausoleum instead of scattered, so the entire place has that indescribable, yet distinctive smell.

Is this too grisly?

 

[bluntforcemama]

Can I opt for roadkill?

 

[Svedish_Chef]

I know it sounds bad but, I just couldnt give away my organs...

Anyone else read it quite like that?

I want to be cut apart and the good bits used... then med students can play docter with me... and then if they really want, somebody can toast me.

Organ donation.
Cremation.
Loved ones to scatter my ashes scattered in a place called Sheep's Canyon in place called the the Anza Borrego Desert.
It's all in my will.
I'll come back to haunt them if they don't do it *just* that way.

 

[Pyper]

Hey, I've been to Anza Borrego, but I won't share my opinions on it because I gather you like it, Cymbidia. All I can say is that, while I was there, I butchered a goat.

Yeh, i love the place. Spent lots and lots of time there growing up but i never butchered anything while there and never saw anyone doing any butchering, either. What.. why... ummm... was the goat good? I'm assuming you cooked and ate it and the butchering wasn't some kinda voodoo thing...?

 

[Pyper]

No, no voodoo. It was a field trip for my bio anthropology class. We were redoing an experiement done by two famous anthropologists where they made their own stone tools, butchered a goat with the different types of tools, and then cleaned the bones and compared the cut marks on them to cut marks on ancient bones.

I guess we did it in Anza Borrego because it was isolated and nobody would get upset. We did have a ranger come by and admonish us for bashing stones, though. Luckily he didn't see the goat in the ice chest!

And, yes, we ate the goat. It wasn't bad. A little tough, but good in some stew with carrots and celery.
