Donate all of my useful/functional/vital organs to hospitals and science and stuff.

The rest of me can be buried in a graveyard in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley lol.

If you live long enough are your organs of any use at all? Is donating a just in case you die young and healthy type of situation?

First they can take all my organs (if any are useful), then if they want to use my body for research or whatever that's fine too. Once there's no more use for it, burn it. I don't need it, or any part of it, once I'm dead. Because I'll be dead.

If possible I would like my ashes to be shot into space.

Imagine you're one of those rare cases where you're not really dead but in a deep sleep or coma and you chose cremation.

Sounds equally as horrible as being buried alive. You will at least die rather quickly if you are cremated.

Cremated, then my ashes scattered into a sewer.

Ok then. Decapitated first, then cremated.
 
I'm not one to usually comment on these topics, but my choice would be burial and I wouldn't necessarily want to go into the ground.

I would like to own a large house one day with a lush garden in the back yard, there I'll build a small mausoleum where I will inter myself in a stone sarcophagus in the center of the room, with family members along the walls.

This may all sound pointless and expensive to my fellow users, but it's how I'd like things to be done. Any descendants can pay respect or visit their predecessors in one place or don't visit at all and leave it in silence and solitude, either one is appealing to me.

I'll donate whatever organs they can salvage out of my fucked up body. However i will not be rotting below the ground. Burn my dead ass

Burial. So that during my funeral i can open the casket and haunt you by telling you that I'm still alive.

 
I want to die with dignity, like slipping in the shower and being found two weeks later swollen up so bad they don't know if I'm man or sofa. Then stuffed, mounted and put in a cool pose like the Michael Jackson crotch grab.

I chose burial. I want people to be able to dig up my skeleton in a hundred years and be able to say yep, that was a human.

I want to be shot into space in hopes that an advanced alien race finds me and either revives me, clones me, or uses parts of me in a war cyborg body which I eventually take control of and use to conquer said aliens. Not in like a tube or capsule or anything either, just shoot me into space, limbs flailing.

Cremation. You eventually turn to dust anyway. Why add a financial burden to your family and take up space in a cemetery and pollute the soil with your decomposing, embalming fluid-leaking carcass?

Burn me up and have ole Musky shoot me into the stars please 😍

Edit: read thread in reverse, glad there are others who feel the same about being shot into space. My wife says I’m insane and it’ll be too expensive... fuck you bitch, imma get what I want dammit!

Burial.......maybe some incredible advancement in technology will happen and I can be revived/restored at some point. Or used as a weapon in a zombie apocalypse.

I'm going to be cremated and have my ashes turned into gemstones to make literal family jewels to be passed on to the next generations with a message from me (it's also a tiny experiment and a nod to my interests in the paranormal, if I can ghost at my great great great grandchildren and see what's up; I will)
