This is a bit of an off-shoot of "What to do with dead bodies?".

What do you want to happen to your body after you die? Burial? Cremation? Sold to science? Or maybe something totally different?

As for me, I heard about a company that will turn your dead body into fireworks, and for a pyromaniac like myself, that is definitely the way to go.

Donation to science after they're done with it I'll want it cremated and placed in the statue of myself in my prime I'll have commissioned before my death.

I've not yet decided whether I'll be naked or not. I'm inclined by "Yes".

Donate organs and cremation. Then probably throw my ashes somewhere, no clue where yet.

Cremation. I don't want everybody else wasting their inheritance money on a burial. Besides, while I realize that I'll be dead, being set on fire and burnt to a crisp sounds much better than being put in a small box and buried under six feet of earth.

Agree entirely.

cremation for me thanks, that way if i am still alive on the off chance being burned will kill me for sure, where as being buried could mean a slow painful death.

Although being buried does have advantage of getting a cool looking coffin shaped like a hot rod (yes they do exist).

good to see my threads sprouting off other ideas for threads though :D

I would like to be put in a boat, have that boat set on fire, then pushed out to sea. I dunno if that's legal or not, though.

After my dead?
After my dead I want to be rocketed into the sun.
Expensive? Yes. Damaging to the environment? Yes. Logistically improbable? Certainly.
But super awesome.

Cremation, then have my ashes scattered across Texas.

Shoot, I was hoping for a thread discussing some sort of chasing of my deceased relatives and loved ones. Foxhounds, bugles, hilarious dismemberment, etc.

What a letdown...

Interesting tidbit.

Your is possessive: Your dead. The dead that belong to you, kind of creepy if you ask me.

You're is a contraction of you are: You're dead. You are no longer living.

Ur: A Sumerian city. Ur dead. The dead of the city Ur.

Also, I don't get why we need two threads about essentially the same topic.
