What do you want to happen to your body when you die?

Standard cremation, please. Of the four funerals I've attended, three had an open casket, and the body just looks so awful.
Whoever discovers my body can pick one of the following two options:
1) Anything left of my body which could be of use (i.e. organs and such) can be removed and donated to those that need or want them. Then whatever is left of my body can be cremated and my ashes fired into space to forever travel the vast abyss
2) Assuming that a willing taxidermist is found, I was my body to be stuffed in a regal pose and kept as a monument to my life

Science can have whatever fluids and organs it wants; whatever is leftover should be cremated...preferably by launching it into the sun.
Just throw another log on the fire.

Leavin' it to medical science, baby. I'm reliably informed that skinny people are much more difficult to operate on so I'll take comfort in the post-death experience that awaits us to know that my mortal remains are ruining some junior surgeon's afternoon.

Hmmm...I want to find out about this "Heaven/Hell" thing once and for all.
Cryogenically freeze me, keeping my body intact until they can find a way to resurrect me. If I come back and say, "Yep, everyone's wrong; there's no God," then immortality it is, by (nearly) any means necessary! (Nearly, because I don't want some shitty "I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream" shit. Seriously. I'd prefer to be as close to "human" an immortal can be, maybe with just a little bit of cybernetics. Not too much, though...)
Now, if I'm revived and say, "Yeah, there's an afterlife! I wanna go back!", then let me die again. If I say, "Yep, there's a Hell; not going back there again," then...yeah, like I said. Immortality, or at least until I gain redemption.
I know, it sounds a bit goofy, but I'm tired of this bullshit "Is there a Heaven/Hell?" I'll just find out for myself and tell everyone the definitive answer!......Unless my brain is too far gone for me to give an accurate and coherent response...Wow, have I overthought this... >.>;;

Stuffed in a museum for the benefit of all.
Edit: maybe dropped in a tar pit for explorers in 4012...

My remains are to be spring-loaded into a treasure chest and buried beneath two crossed palm trees, the location of which shall be marked with an X on an aged parchment.
Why? Because if there is an afterlife, it sounds as boring as merry fuck, so I'll need a giggle

A lot of people seem to be reluctant to donate their corneas, I'm not entirely sure why :S But I'm already registered as an organ donor for it, and proud to be one! *heroic pose*Nalgas D. Lemur said:
But I'm not down for whole body donation since your body is rarely used for actual experiments, just practiced on by medical students
I want all my organs donated except my eyes and brain (just incase it turns out Heaven is real and I turn up blind and running into walls) then I want my head mounted on a plaque above my best friend's fireplace as a clause if he wants to inherit my estate.
I too would go with the whole tree thing, with a few changes. First I would be in a box, just so I could be in a box, and second instead of an apple tree, I want an oleander tree planted above me. That'll teach anyone not to mess with my grave, a plant so deadly that even its honey can contain poison.
That or I'll be buried in a desert somewhere with a giant monolith standing above me, with inscriptions recounting my greatest triumphs in life, as well as a curse for anyone who disturbs me.

I' don't relly care, If my organs are in good shape give them away to someone who might need it. The rest burn it and us it as fertilizer, or throw me to the sea (if cremation is imposible) or any dispose my body in just anyway. Just don't keep it in your house in jar (or other place), let me die and live on.
PS: I would also record my final service with an I-pad, ask for someone courageous in my family/friends to interrupt the priest and let me deliver my own speech.
Oh, and after that I would play monty python's allways look on the bright side of life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHPOzQzk9Qo (I dont know how to embed =/)
If I get people to sing along that would mean I made good friends in my life. =)

i'd love to be cremated when i die, and sprinkled around a nature preserve park so i can be at peace in an untouched forest and haunt all the evil woodsmen i want >
...if they do decide to deforest the place.
