If i were to be buried, which is the most likely case, i think im going to have to spend the next few decades deciding what my funeral song is. For a while it was a Tout Le Monde by Megadeth, but its probably overdone, so im going to have to decide on something else.

I sure would not mind. Provided i get brought back to life at least once after i'm mummified, so i can roam the streets and be the only 'mummy' in townTongue

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


people say being cremated (in a traditional way on a pyre rather than in a modern crematorium) is horrible. Body starts to move and jump around because muscles are contracting because of heat..

Personally I don't care much, but I would like to be eaten by animals in a Parsi tradition. It seems the most natural choice.
