I want to be taken to the local taxadurmist and stuffed
 
What about being an organ donor?

I choose the Oscar Meyer option, because that's just like being an organ donor. Right?

:p
 
Don't wanna die

I'm into the whole transhumanism/cryogenics thing ... I want to be frozen and come back in a hundred years cause I'm greedy like that!:D
 
Cremated. With my ashes spread in a freshly dug hole. Where a rose of my choice will be planted. The whole time I want the music in the background to be "Livin La vida Loca" by Ricky Martin and my friends and family smiling if they can. :)
Death is just another journey. It's the destination that counts. Im bound for reincarnation as a freely soaring eagle.
Wiggles, good point. I am on organ donor. Burn whats left. I don't need it anymore.
 
Cremated ... with my ashes thrown out over the ocean.

For those I leave behind who loved me ... so that they don't feel an obligation to visit my grave (I won't be there) when I much prefer to be remembered in memories of life.
 
I want a wild after life!

I want to be cremated and have my ashes ground into Oscar Mayer hotdogs. Then I want the hotdogs frozen before they're fed to a polar bear. The polar bear should then be sunk in the ocean, then raised a month later, so he can be buried.
Either this, or I choose "other." lol

:cool:
 
I have very explicit instructions for my death, I will be stuffed and put into a vacume sealed container with a 67 camero so I can cruise into forever and if I want to I can come see myself in the next life and check out how good I look.
 
Organ donor first. The rest cremated and my ash scattered over a favorite place of mine. My legal paperwork for this to happen is already done.
 
Definitely cremated

but with the ashed interred somewhere with a marker so years from now someone might come visit or just see it.

I definitely do not want to be cremated and have my ashes end up in a box on my bookshelf like my father-in-law's are. My husband doesn't seem to grasp the irony of his dad ending up a bookend, although the dear man did like to read.
 
I chose to be eaten by polar bears, but what I really mean is that I want to be recycled. Leave my body in the woods for the scavangers to tear apart. Let fungi sprout in my eye sockets, feed me to the worms or grind me to dog food if you must, but at least put the meat of me to use.

Organ donor first, of course (and all my loved ones know that) but after that, dole out the remainders to whichever creatures are hungry and needful of a snack.

Worst choice would be burial. To be embalmed, placed in a satin-lined casket, then sealed in a burial vault and buried with the hollow promise of "perpetual care" is abomination to me. I know that laws forbid willy-nilly disposal of a body for health reasons, so barring a handy polar bear, go ahead and creamate me.

So, after working through it, of the choices offered, creamation is really the only one that's both palatable to me and realistic. Maybe I should change my vote?
 
This is easy for you to say...

I like the idea of being recycled. They've got a lot of regulations that make it difficult , so you need to be creamated first. I wouldn't mind fertilizing a coast Redwood.

Lately I 've fancied the idea of having my ashes loaded on skyrockets. That would be a fun send-off:)

Ditto the above for me. (I am way too lazy to type it myself tonight :D )
 
I wanted to pick eaten by polar bears, but I'm pretty sure they like to kill their own dinners. Death by polar bear and disposal by polar bear are two entirely different things, I don't think I want to run the risk of someone getting confused.

So, flame on, cremation.

If the taxadurmist is cute, he can stuff AND mount me ;)


*ok I never read the other post beyond this quote, I wonder who else wants to be stuffed :)"
