[Mr. E. Yis]

For me, I really want to be cremated. In fact, that would be the first thing that I will write in my will. I would also want the ashes be sprinkled somewhere instead of remaining in an urn. I also don't want a church service, and would like a 'remembrance' service or something.

I think tomb burial is disgusting (possible remains and embalming fluid from graveyards in our drinking water), not to mention there's no room at all in local graveyards for much more bodies. I also want to get burned to make sure that I'm definitely dead. I am claustrophobic so I don't want to wake up in a coffin :lol. Not to mention that cremation is a small fraction of the price of a normal burial (>$5k for service and casket).


What will be your preference for when you die? Will you not care (duh) since you're dead, and let the remaining family do what they want with your body? Or do have certain wishes for your remains?

Cremated so my remains won't be reanimated by a power mad lich.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

honestly... i wont really care when i go

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

I want to be cremated, but my ashes spread out in the coffin for viewing.

Then instead of behind housed in an urn, I wanna be housed inside a glass dildo.

 

[koam]

Who gives a shit, you're dead

 

[hXc_thugg]

Let me rock upon the waves where no murdered ghost can haunt me.

 

[Chemo]

Cremation. I want to make sure there's no way I ever turn into a zombie... or some necrophiliac's hot night at the cemetery.

 

[aoi tsuki]

Cremation. It's cheaper on the surviving family.

 

[S. L.]

whatever is the cheapest

 

[Crayon Shinchan]

I prefer to become one of the exhibits in that travelling dead body show.

 

[Mash]

Cremation.

People worry about landfills but the biggest problem is everyone insisting on occupying so much room when they're dead.

Who gives a shit, you're dead

What he said.

 

[BlackSalad]

cremation + scattering my ashes somewhere, I don't want any of those funeral homes taking advantage of my family and making them spend money plus it pretty much eliminates the possibility of me ever coming back as a zombie as stated a few posts up

 

[Kabouter]

My relatives can decide on that, I'll be dead.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

it's a double-edged sword...


if you are cremated, you don't have to worry about a loved-one having to shoot you in the head if a zombie outbreak starts (assuming it effects those already buried, ala Return of the Living Dead).

if you are buried, you may get discovered in hundreds of thousands of years by some alien race that can bring you back with their advanced technology.



...but the latter brings up all sorts of "soul" discussions, so I'll just leave that on the table there.

 

[Like the hat?]

Then instead of behind housed in an urn, I wanna be housed inside a glass dildo.

That is the single greatest after-death idea i have ever heard.

I would want to be creamated and have my ashes baked into a cake that is unknowingly fed to my enemies.
