When you die - Progressive Rock Music Forum

i chose cremention.

Shot into space(with a high enough velocity to reach galaxies far far away).

The scattered jigsaw of my redemption laid out before my eyes
Each piece as amorphous as the other - Each piece in its lack of shape a lie

I'd say getting frozen is kinda selfish, so I'd either want to be buried...or now that i think about it, frozen and sent out to space to be later revived via robots in my space ship once I reach new life forms...

best comment ever, period.

None of the above for me, I'll find a way to not die, but rather mix the world of the living and the dead and everything else and build a bridge across forever and nothing will make sense anymore and it will be epic.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me

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?

"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?

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.

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

Cremated, with my ashes scattered on my non-smoking boss's desk!
