In other words burying is good for the nature, while cremation just wastes your valuable minerals and burns them for some useless heat. Think about it. I'm not in favour of cremation (despite my user name lol) or conventional burial. Conventional burials (i.e., ones in cemeteries) waste substantially more energy they produce (wood from coffins, maintenance of the cemetery, tombstones, fossil fuels required to ship/manufacture the materials, etc.) and the space they take up isn't used for anything else. | ||

Probably cremation though. I'd like the feeling of being free and have my ashes thrown out at sea. That wouldn't feel anything. You're dead. | ||

So I was thinking...maybe they could just throw my body into a volcano (after putting it in a simple box first). If its too much of a hassle then just go for cremation probably... and then throw my ashes into the sea so they can do something useful. Edit: The ultimate option would be to have my body fired into the sun. I would really love that - I would be so happy imagining my epic death | ||

I guess....... get eaten by a grizzly or something and get pooped out and serve as fertilizer. | ||
