Poll: what do you want done with your body after you die

[Vicarious Reality]

Stored in a tomb of my design with my good things

_________________________________________________

I'll be dead. I won't exist. Therefore it won't be possible for me to care. But let's not just limit this reasoning to atheists like me.

You say you are an atheist, yet you claim to annihilate when dead

woodland burial,

plant me in the middle of nowhere, plan a tree on top of me!

cheap, logical, and a massive knees up afterward (where I haunt everyone!)

 

[Light 086]

Before I die I'll request it in my will that they put my body in a dark room, put a black bag on my head, and draw symbols on the wall in said room. Just so the necromorphs can have it.

Or they can mummify my ass and put me on the side of the road like that one guy (I read about this in sociology class), and get my revenge on the living when the zombie virus breaks out.

Either way I get the 'revenge from beyond' accolade/achievement.

But seriously I won't care, I'll be dead. Once they take the organs out (I'm a donor), they can do whatever.

 

[The .50 Caliber Cow]

Gut me, toss the insides/skin away. My skull becomes a keepsake for collectors and the bones lie under my parent's house to haunt them.

 

[FalloutJack]

Obviously, I am to be buried in the ground until the year 2046 when Strong Bad and the zombies arise to take over the Earth.

Next question?

I want to be eaten in a big feast by my family and friends. I mean I've got around 200 pounds of good meat on me right now and it would be a shame to waste all that delicious, pork-like flesh. My only regret is that I won't be there to taste myself.

Furthermore, if I die as a man of accomplishment then I also want my skeleton to be plated in gold so that I can be made into a statue of myself. I'm not quite sure what pose I'd like my bones to be set in but I think a classic double thumbs up would be pretty cool.

 

[cremationurn]

Yeah agree with crist... but you can use body liquefaction rather than cremation [http://www.cremation.net]... environment friendly process...

 

[Fatboy_41]

Buried, standing upright, ready to rise in the event of my homeland being invaded.

 

[Captain Booyah]

Donating mine to science. They can have every inch of it if they want, because hell, it's not as if I'm going to need it anymore. I like the idea of being useful and furthering a good cause even after I'm dead.

Also, I got told once that when you're cremated, the bodies aren't necessarily incinerated individually; several get thrown in at a time, so your family could end up with the ashes of you and about five other complete strangers, or an urn with none of you in at all. I haven't got a clue if this is true or not, but it put me off cremation.

 

[Jinxzy]

Cremated, then put my ashes into the mix to make crayons. I'll be 120 colors of dead.

 

[Olas]

Cremated and then put into an etch-a-sketch.

 

[cremationpet]

I always prefer greener way to die.... body liquefaction is the best process for funeral... also known as greener way cremation [http://www.cremation.net] ..

 

[Rawne1980]

Cremated and my ashes sprinkled on Anfield.

 

[ScaryAlmond]

Where is turned into a diamond and sold at a seedy pawn shop I Demand Answers

 

[SoranMBane]

What I want is very simple; a non-religious funeral, and for my body to be donated for scientific/medical purposes. Beyond those two things, I don't really care.

 

[White Lightning]

I want to be cremated so that when the zombie apocalypse comes my friends and family can rest easy knowing I won't come back to kick their ass.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

I'd probably go for cremation, and have my ashes used to make paint for a painting (I think I saw something like it in a book once)... but then will I still be able to get an epitaph on a grave stone? Hm...

 

[Korolev]

I have signed documents which will mean that if I die, and my body is a suitable enough state, it will be donated back to my medical school (if my organs aren't suitable for transplant of course). If my body can't be harvested for useful organs or if the University won't accept it (they only accept damn-near perfectly preserved bodies) then I'll just get it burnt up or buried directly into the ground and then plants can use the nutrients to grow.

I do not care one whit about what happens to my body when I die. You could cut my body up, fill it with candy and use it as a halloween-themed pinata - I wouldn't care. I'm dead, what do I care about what happens to the useless shell I used to inhabit?

 

[cerealnmuffin]

After reading 'Stiff' there is no way I'm donating my body to science. I don't want to be rotting away in a body farm, used to test landmines or car crashes. Perhaps Egyptian mummification or a Lenin like tomb =0. Mummies fascinate me and it might be neat to be made into one. I leaning toward urn though as the idea of bugs eating me creeps me out. I'd like my tombstone to be a statue such as of a girl reading a book while sitting cross-legged on a tombstone (something that stands out but represents me).
