After you die...

What do you want to happen to your remains?

I myself would like to be mummified in the old Egyptian way.

I want whoever takes care of my funeral and all that (family, partner, whoever) to get the plainest, cheapest coffin they can get. If it were legal, I'd be buried without any container at all. I just don't want any kind of expensive metal thing that'll just be buried.

I want my remains to rise from their tomb, then proceed to ravenously seek out and consume the brains of the living.

I want to be made into a diamond, however the naturist in me just wants the earth to benifit from my decaying body.

Since I'm planning on cremation, the only thing I don't want is for my ashes to end up in a Campbell's soup can.

Haha, then I guess the next worst thing would be for one of my relatives to use my ashes to lite his bong up with.

Oh my, if I could have it my way, I'd want to be revived with Galvanism, and when I died after the effects wore off (if they did ;D), I'd want my body cryogenically frozen like flipping Walt Disney....

You know one day the man'll rise from the grave, just watch. He's got enough childrens' souls to survive on now. o_O;

Um, how would that even happen? You don't usually look for ashes when lighting a bong, nor do you smoke ashes.

Ghaha. So true. So true. He'll talk over the world....again, one day.

I personally do not care, since I'll be dead. So I'll have no use for it anymore. But I do plan to not accept death and wonder around a aimless spirit scaring the jeebies out of little, unsuspecting children. Perhaps throw me in a hole and let nature work out its process.

It was a reference to the rumor that Keith Richards "supposedly" smoked his father's ashes.

I tried to be funny and I failed so I submit myself to the firing squad.

OOOOH. No no no. He snorted them. I'm pretty sure.

Anyway. You're probably safe.

I've never really thought about it. Well, I have thought about cremation. I don't know if I care, really though. It's not really going to make a difference if worms eat at my body or i'm surrounded by plush satin. Meh...

I do like the idea of being cremated, though, and thrown onto the window or into the ocean.

I want to be tossed in the ocean for the fishies.

Or mummified and placed in an Egyptian style sarcophogus, complete with all the necessary hieroglyphic protection/prayers/etc.

We'll see what the financial situation of those left behind accomodates.

I would like to be cremated, and for my ashes to be kept with my sister as long as she lives.

Has anyone seen 'The Red Violin'? After the wife had died, her husband cut a lock of her hair and fashioned a paintbrush from it. He then slit her wrist and collected the blood in a little bowl, mixed it with varnish and painted a violin with it. Hence the name 'red violin'.

Before I get cremated, I'd like to have something like that done to me - although I hope to be painted onto a cello - I've always adored the cello.

You win at the Internets.

I actually want to be buried, strangely enough. It's the only thing about my own culture that makes any sense to me.

There's something charming about being cast out into the sea on a burning ship, but I don't think I qualify for that. Actually, I'd settle for just being buried, because I hate the idea of not having my remains intact. Cremation bothers me somehow.

Use my corpse as a prop for an extremely gory movie and string my intestines around the room as if they were garland. I wonder if that's legal...

Or I can be cremated...?

Slap me in an old-timey pine box and toss me in the ground.
