burial at sea, please.

of course, I've never been a naval officer or anything similar. I just feel more of an affinity for water than land.

I think I'd like to be stabbed with a pin once every hour for a day or two - just in case I'm suffering from some form of dyssomnia. Unless it's catalepsy, then that would be a pretty useless test I guess, though whispering in my ear that someone's scratched one of my vinyls may revive me fairly sharpish even from a deep catatonic state. Or I might be suffering from narcolepsy, so it might be an idea to check my iPod just to see if anyone's slipped a Coldplay album in there as that would produce a similar effect. Or I might just be hibernating, so best leave me until spring to see if I wake up when the weather improves.

I used to think Viking Funeral, but my friend changed my mind when he rationalized why we need to be embalmed and buried.
See, if the Zombie apocalypse happens during our lifetime, we've seen enough movies and played enough video games that I think we're well prepared to survive such an event. But if it happens after we die, there's no way we're missing out on the fun! You can't be a zombie if your body is cremated!

Well, being cremated and shot into space would be brilliant, I think. Particles of me floating endless miles forever on into stardust, making their way into nebulae, becoming the partial essence of new stars and galaxies.... I suppose thinking in this way, all things are circular; even if buried on earth, when the sun expands to red giant phase and envelopes earth, we'd all become solar essence. But our sun isn't going to become a supernova, so exploding in brilliant light won't be an immediate option that way. Besides, being individually shot on some trajectory toward infinite space...the possibilities are so enduring.

I agree with ClassicRocker. I don't believe in an after-life, and I happen to like consciousness, so I'd like to come back some day if the technology allows it. But I suppose that if I decide that life sucks before I die, I may just request to have my body donated to science or transplants. With the exception of my pancreas, which doesn't work all that well (I'm diabetic).

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.

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.

that is just absolutely brilliant. seeing as a was stuck between the two i think you decided what's happening with my body.
so, i'll be put on a viking ship that's been modified for space and shot out. while the ship is rising, someone will shoot a flaming arrow at it.
however, my body is going to be in a rocket powered coffin, so when the ship has burnt i'll just float through space.
that will certainly be epic. i just have to make sure somehow my cd collection is with me and my carcass has good music to listen to. plus i could be the one to bring prog to non human life forms!

Where's your environmental consciousness, people?

Buried, preferably on a hill in nowhere. Start a garden with my carcass.

Cremation blasts off carbon dioxide and mostly wastes all of the nutrients which could go to plant feed. Cryogenic freezing eats absurd amounts of energy as well, and you never know what could happen when you're awakened (especially if your name is Mr. Money). Viking Funeral is a supreme waste -- all that carbon and a few trees to boot, not to mention that all the leftovers fall into the sea to be buried in sand. But being shot into space takes the cake: we could be spending that money sending LIVE people out there, you selfish b*****d! Wink

First, I can't believe this thread is still around.
Second, what you said reminds me of this anime movie I saw last night where these people had seeds in them and would become trees (though it happened when they fought)

In all seriousness I would probably want to be buried (or if I have the money to do it) be shot into space.
I like the idea of going back into the Earth for the cycle of life, or being among the cosmos.
IF buried I want to be wearing a New York Giants hoodie. A friend once told me about his grandfather "he didn't wear a tuxedo except at weddings and funerals, so he wanted to be buried in something that really was him"

Cremation. I'm not important enough to take up space in the ground, and besides, I always felt like the whole 'let's all stand around the displayed corpse in a casket that doesn't matter to them anyway' to be a little . . . strange . . . to say the least.

Nope; no funeral or burial for me.

   and I'm not quite sure what I should do.
U: Ah, well, we can 'elp you.  We deal with stiffs.
M: (aghast) Stiffs?
U: Yea. Now there's three things we can do with your mum.  We can bury
   her, burn her, or dump her.
M: Dump her?
U: Dump her in the Thames.
M: (still aghast) What?
U: Oh, did you like her?
M: Yes!
U: Oh well, we won't dump her, then.   Well, what do you think: burn her,
   or bury her?
M: Um, well, um, which would you recommend?
U: 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. And then you get a box of ashes, which you can
   pretend are hers.
M: (timidly) Oh.
U: Or, if you don't wanna fry her, you can bury her.  And then she'll get
   eaten up by maggots and weevils, nibble, nibble, nibble, which isn't
   so hot if, as I said, she's not quite dead.
M: I see. Um. Well, I.. I.. I.. I'm not very sure. She's definitely dead.
U: Where is she?
M: In the sack.
U: Let's 'ave a look.
 
(FX: rustle of bag opening)
 
U: Umm, she looks quite young.
M: Yes, she was.
U: (over his shoulder) FRED!
F: (offstage) Yea!
U: I THINK WE'VE GOT AN EATER!
F: (offstage) I'll get the oven on!
M: Um, er...excuse me, um, are you... are you suggesting we should
   eat my mother?
(pause)
U: Yeah. Not raw, not raw. We cook her. She'd be delicious with a few
   french fries, a bit of stuffing. Delicious! (smacks his lips)
M: What! (he stammers)
(pause)
M: Actually, I do feel a bit peckish - No! NO, I can't!
U: Look, we'll eat your mum.  Then, if you feel a bit guilty about it
   afterwards, we can dig a grave and you can throw up into it.
M: All right.

After my death, I want my body taken to the vultures, the felines, wolves or other carnivorous mammals.

Yes, screw the maggots and weevils, I want to be eaten by scavenging animals that will pick my carcass apart bit by bit. Big smile

Apologies to all those reading this who are already dead and may be offended.

I'm pretty certain that I will die as a member of the space marines sent to kill the giant Billy Mays terrorizing the world in the late 2020s. He's probably going to eat me so I don't really have much say in the matter.

I've always wanted to be cremated, but afterwards, they have to rotate my remains in my circle of friends and celebrate my birthday with loads of booze and me present (in the form of ash, yes). One shot of whisky each year down into the urn, AND...they'll never get rid of me Thumbs Up

I'm with ya on that one, Miracle. I never understood what the big deal was about what to do with someone after they die. They aren't living anymore, therefore they no longer have a purpose! Dispose of them! While they were alive, it was different, but after we die, I just don't see the point of prolonging the inevitable. We will eventually become dust in the wind (like that pun, fellow Kansas fans?), so why bury us as if we are going to care one way or another how we disposed of? I'll be dead then, so I won't care.

I like the idea of "just because I'm dead doesn't necessarily mean I'm no longer a burden" Wink

I agree. Were it not for my grisly fate I wouldn't care what happened to my body. I'd prefer it be donated to science to be most helpful or have my organs donated to other people. But I think it comes down to what your loved ones want.

No. No, don't be preposterous. I'm not Kirk.
