What do you want done with your body when you drop dead?

Cremation for me. I don't want to rot in the ground.
Or launched out of a canon. Whichever is easier.

Don't matter to me, so I'd say cremation.
Although I have always wanted to be involved in the art scene.

Cremation for me - spread some of my ashes in the left batters box at Cobb Field in Billings, MT, some of them in Red Lodge, MT (where my grandparent's ashes are) and do whatever with the rest.

I think it looks cool but I wouldn't want it to be me.

Although it would a bit funny if you were broken up and sold as the real thing in engagement rings.

Usable parts into recycling, rest cremated and, well, dust to dust.

Cremation, with my ashes thrown in the face of James Dobson or whoever's running focus on the family at the time. Either that, or perhaps my body parts could be dismembered and used to creep out my enemies. Think my left arm could scare Gates?

Salty reminded me. Would it be possible to be resurrected as some sort of ghoul, or zombie if you will, possibly in the pursuit of brains?

Is having your body or just head frozen still cool or was that more of a late 80's thing?

You can do that before you die.

It's a toss up between being plastinated by professor Gunther von Hagens, and being cryogenically frozen and sent into orbit, like Dr. Evil.

Seriously though, isn't there some cults and what not who are all about raising the dead? I really think that might be for me.

Assuming I have any usable body parts left, I'll donate whatever I can, then burninate the rest. I feel a little bad depriving the worms of food, but I'd rather just get cremated and be done with it.
Pyro till the end! WOOHOO!

Exactly! Why rot away for decades when you can just disappear in a puff of smoke?

I want to be cremated and if I'm dead before my husband he can save my ashes for when he dies or vice versa because we've decided we want to both be cremated and our ashes combined and buried in a pretty place.

Then you should feed her to pet parrot and maybe the bird will talk back to you after a while.

I dunno, cremation has always seemed a little creepy to me. My wife feels the same, we'll both be worm food I think. Not that we'll care by that point.

Good idea. I could also plant a pomegranate tree in her compost. That way I could still enjoy her fruit at least.

I voted for cremation, but my classmates and I (in Gross Anatomy) have had discussions about donation to science. That basically allows the remains to be used for "scientific" purposes, including Gross Anatomy classes. We thought it would be good to have tattoos (maybe after death) with "cut here" and "identify the structures beneath this skin." Maybe it's a Gross Anatomy thing, but we all thought it was funny.

Traditional burial (as anything else is absolutely forbidden by my religion) - but, if possible (e.g. I don't die of a communicable disease or similar) I'd like my organs to be used for transplantation.
Figure, my body is around - but I've hopefully saved some lives post mortem.

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.
