Deep-frozen to wait for the moment when technology has advanced to the point where I can be safely turned into a cyborg.

"We can burn her, bury her, or dump her." Monty Python's Undertaker's Sketch

That gives me an idea.  Is being eaten an option?


LOL I love that sketch! Here is the full dialogue:

Undertaker Morning.
Man Good Morning.
Undertaker What can I do for you, squire?
Man Um, well, I wonder if you can help me. You see, my mother has just died.
Undertaker Ah well, we can help you. We deal with stiffs.
Man What?
Undertaker Well, there's three things we can do with your mum. We can bury her, burn her, or dump her.
Man Dump her?
Undertaker Dump her in the Thames.
Man What?
Undertaker Oh, did you like her?
Man Yes!
Undertaker Oh well, we won't dump her, then. Well, what do you think? We can bury her or burn her.
Man Well, which do you recommend?
Undertaker Well, they're both nasty. If we burn her, she gets stuffed in the flames, crackle, crackle, crackle, which is a bit of a shock if she's not quite dead, but quick. (the audience starts booing) and then we give you handful of ashes, which you can pretend are hers.
Man Oh.
Undertaker Or, if we bury her she gets eaten up lots of weevils, and nasty maggots, (the booing increases) which as I said before is a bit of a shock if she's not quite dead.
Man I see. Well, she's definitely dead.
Undertaker Where is she?
Man She's in this sack.
Undertaker Can I have a look? She looks quite young.
Man Yes, yes, she was.

Increasing protests from audience
Undertaker (calling) Fred!
Fred's voice Yeah?
Undertaker I think we've got an eater.
Man What?

Another undertaker pokes his head round the door
Fred Right, I'll get the oven on. (goes off)
Man Er, excuse me, um, are you suggesting eating my mother?
Undertaker Er ... Yeah. Not raw. Cooked.
Man What?
Undertaker Yes, roasted with a few french fries, broccoli, horseradish sauce ...
Man Well, I do feel a bit peckish.
Voice From Audience Disgraceful! Boo! (etc.)
Undertaker Great!
Man Can we have some parsnips?
Undertaker (calling) Fred - get some parsnips.
Man I really don't think I should.
Undertaker Look, tell you what, we'll eat her, if you feel a bit guilty about it after, we can dig a grave and you can throw up in it.

Cremated, for fear of being buried alive and because the others are stupid.
Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

The ceremony wouldn't be so much for you, but for those who knew you and cared for you...it's part of what makes us human, how we treat our dead.

Selfish? Whatever, I want to live! Who cares if my carcass is a leech to the human race?

Some Vikings were put in a boat and pushed out to sea, others put in a boat and cremated, and still others buried in their boats.

Yay, Bentham-style! I'll have that one too. Just not so sure about being displayed in a pub - there is some ressurecting booze out there, and the dead DO need their rest...

Once I'm dead I'm really not going to care WTF you do with the body, forced to pick one, It would have to be cremation.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
