Hopefully by the time i am much older space travel will be cheap so i want my body(or ashes) to be ejected into the sun. That would literally be my "dream" wish when i die. To be thrown into a huge ball of hydrogen gas. | ||

To quote Neil deGrasse Tyson "I would request that my body in death be buried not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime." | ||

I am not really sure yet what exactly I would like to be done with my body but for certain I would not like it to be burned. | ||

I also had a strange experience at the viewing of my Grandfather's body. We were pretty much having a fun and dandy family get together with dead Grandfather in the room laying in a casket, and it was my first funeral so it was a little weird, but it was fine. What was totally weird was when my Grandfather's brother picked up the dead body and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. NOPE. Cremate me, I don't want people picking up my dead body and hugging me, even if they loved me a lot. | ||

-everything my body is goes with me and no one else unless family or close friend or smthn, soz pure altruism is for dumbs. eugenics couldnt have produced a better individual so can't let strangers in on my secrets ;D -Being released into the air somewhere would be pretty sweet, being buried in the ground sounds dumb and boring -BURN AWAY TO NOTHING! I figure this would be a greater cartharsis for family members to understand that im gone instead of always coming to the cemetary and QQ'ing about it | ||

Better yet, keep it in your wifes home at the dinner table. Then if she ever gets a new boyfriend they will have to sit across from your corpse while they eat, wont that be awkward. | ||

However, if it were just up to me then I would prefer to just be inexpensively disposed of like in way of a sky burial or cremation and thrown in the ocean, no reason to spend a shit ton of money on crap people will only be able to see for a day or two (casket and all that jazz). | ||
