I would prefer cremation. The thought of being burred in the ground in the dark saddens me. I would rather my love ones keep my on they're mantle

Personally, I'd rather be left outside for the scavengers.
I figure you're part of the food chain and should return to the food chain. It's natural. Everything else (even embalmed burial) just wastes the energy and nutrients that went into making your body. I don't want to take from the earth - I'd rather just think that the energy I've consumed has simply been borrowed until I don't need it any more.
... But I know that plan is illegal in most countries. I might just have to leave myself to the Body Farm and let them take photos of the bugs eating me.

Cremated!

I want them to freeze my ass and bring me back when they've figured out what they're doing

I haven't made official end-of-life plans, but I'd rather be cremated than buried. Being in a box for a while doesn't sound that great. I'd rather get back into the earth and get turned into something else.

I had to vote other. Reason being that I am in the works of donating to science. That way I don't put a financial burden on my family. It used to be cremation was not to high in price, but that is not the case anymore. Can you believe there is a waiting list to be donated and you also have to be approved first.

I'd rather be buried. The big ol' pizza oven of doom doesn't appeal to me.
03/12/2011
I have no preference. I figure I won't care what happens to my body when I'm already dead.
03/12/2011
cremated and have my ashes spread in the mountains

I agree with KikiChrome. Through our entire life, we take and take. At some point, we should give back. Now, I'm not saying flop bodies out in the woods. Bury them in the ground, and only the ground. I think anyone whom has studied how the planet actually works, would agree. We are just like any other animal out there. Just because we have brains, doesn't mean we are above it all.

Definitely cremated - burials are too un-green for me.
03/12/2011
Above ground burial - mausoleum style please.
03/12/2011
I've given instructions to my son and others close to me that I want inturnment of my cremated remains in a columbarium at Arlington National Cemetery.

I want to be buried with my husband next to me...depends on who decides to die first though!
03/12/2011
Cremated and spread somewhere beautiful. Buy me a headstone and leave me flowers there if you need to but don't put me in the box.
03/12/2011
Really, I DON'T know. I use to want my organs donated, and cremated.....but then something happened and the thought of dying terrifies me. Being burned doesn't appeal. being left in the ground to rot, doesn't appeal. I have moments where I want to go out with what I came in with. (Even though I KNOW I won't need my organs....)
I finally just told hubby if I go before him, do what he wants....(I'm so nice...) Because I'm not comfortable with any of my options..

Depending on what I would die from I probably wouldn't want to be shown, and would rather be cremated.
03/12/2011
If I'm cremated, how the hell am I suppose to come back as a zombie during the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse? No way am I missing out on that!

I have my moments of being a hippie, and would prefer to be buried in a pine box so I can decompose and be all 'one with the earth'y. I'd also rather like an apple tree planted over me, so when it had fruit on it, people would eat it and say 'Nom, tastes like PixelKitten!'
Yeah, I'm a little wierd.

I've told my sisters before that I'd like my organs donated and then me to be cremated, and I'd like for my urn to be put onto the mantle so I can glare at them from the 'great beyond'. But I was mostly joking and haven't made any serious post-death plans (besides the organ donation, that's the only part that I care about).

Cremated is always a better idea for a lot cheaper price.
03/18/2011
I plan on being cremated once I've donated any usable parts.
03/19/2011
I want to be cremated!
03/19/2011
I don't really care what happens with my body after I die.
03/19/2011
Robot body.
03/19/2011
Burn my ass!
03/22/2011
Cremated, and then buried. Just because I'm greedy!
Okay, the cremation to comply with religious views, cremated because, if my kids will be anything like me, they'll want to visit my grave for a chat every now and then. I do that with my grandparent's grave.
