First...I hope that I am not shocked to be dead and I certainly hope my soul has time to leave my body naturally.  After that, I choose cremation.  I have thought long and hard about this.  At one point I had chosen the graveyard...I changed my mind because of bugs...not exactly bugs but the larvae.  Larvae creeps me out too much.

Cremation for me.

Burial is fine.  I hate to be burned.  No cremation, p[lease.

It's chiselled in stone! Both my wife & I are to be cremated.We both have a morbid fear of being buried alive.

No fancy funerals. A brief non religeous service will do.

I have always made the joke to my wife,that if I happen to go on a Tuesday night (that's the night we put our trash cans out) & there is enough room left in the bin,she should feel free to dispose of my remains that way.

Green?? what's that?? What could be more beneficial to the earth than to fertilize it with animal remains?? Have you ever seen where an animal died and decayed in a spot on a field?? The grass around the decaying matter it bright green.. Earth loves dead things!

That said, I wanna be burned.. I hate the thought of it but I am pretty sure i will be deceased when they do it.. (i hope)

You're a great little helper you are...hahaha

Cremation defiantly, I don't want to be taking up space in the ground. My mother was cremated and I have  some of her ashes. Don't need to go visit anyplace but home...

Burial for me, then I can help to push up the wild  flowers.

Burial.  I don't like to be barbequed.

Ducky

We're not going to eat you! Relax.

Cremation for me. My whole immediate family feels the same, either those in the present or those in the past.

bloody upsetting

Colleen

Why? Death is not an ending of existence unless you believe that way, then I understand the fear.

Colleen

I think you will when you see where you go. ;) But like I said, it's all what you believe.

To the oven for me.

What is green? Burial? I'm, not so sure all the bodies in the ground filled with a chemical is all that green for mother earth.

Cremation for me.

Colleen

OK, well that's better then. I just feel the living need the land to live on so I'll leave it for the living and just have my body turned to ash. :)

Colleen

(((lambshank))) my condolences.

Definitely, cremation. I don't want the world to forget me in a hurry, it's called pollution. And I'm gonna throw it in the ocean to join the country of plastic.

cremation for me, but I wish to be an organ donor, not sure what they will do with  a smokers lungs, a drinkers liver though, forgot Im also short sighted, so don't suppose my eyes are much good, I do however have a great mop of hair.....maybe I could be a wig!

Ducky

I understand that they can use most any eyes...wearing glasses for short sightedness, is way better than being totally blind.

stick me in a cardboard box , it's all the same. as for my family they feel the same way..

stick me in a cardboard box and I would like to be thrown into the sea so the fish could eat me then nothing goes to waste but I dont think thats allowed if not creamation then my ashes scattered on to a sunny beach

Burial can pollute the soil if embalming fluids are used, and wastes land.  Cremation uses fossil fuel and if you have amalgam fillings releases mercury into the atmosphere. Another option currently being developed is Resomation when the body is dissolved in alkali and flushed down the drain. Bones are crushed and can be returned to the family.

 Hopefully I will die BEFORE I am cremated.

itsmee a done deal!! you have a great heart

Cremation and then my ashes caste on the beach where I walk my dog.

Non religious stuff,, no hymns or prayers just good old songs and hopefully lots of laughs from the attendees.Have thought about having a mobile (cell) `phone in the box go off and my voice saying' Sorry I can`t take your call but I am lying down" Or "Hey doc I tried to tell you I felt crook"

burial,my funeral was all arranged and paid for before i hit 50.My one specification is no flowers,id sooner have them while im here to enjoy them.Donations to the dogs home,not interflora

My dear friend bought her own shroud and was buried on private land (in Arizona) with her drum. Green burial is the only way to go ... 

I'll take the cremation special with an order of fries. To go

You asked about what will death be for you...  Burial, Cremation, etc.  FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO DIE, NOT HAVE THESE BE THE CAUSE OF DEATH!  With that said, I want to die due to a gunshot to the back from fleeing out of a bedroom window, shot by the man of the house...  HA, HA!    Really, I have thought of burial at sea over the years, as that is also green, and the aquatic life would like some variety to their diet, not necessarily low-fat, however.  We waste resources over conventional burial, better wood than we enjoyed on our furniture during life.  I am a fan of giving back to the earth, nourishing it however I can. 

I choose to be pickled in a giant Mason jar filled with grappa.

The eternal dirt nap for me.

If you want your body to be taken care of for next to nothing.......then donate to your local university. They even come and get it. What could be easier   ? 

I actually own the crypt next to where my late husband is. So, I know where I'm going to be....in a mausoleum in Ohio. My step-daughter will visit our crypts on occasion.
