Burial or Cremation?
After reading the how to die thread, I was curious to see how people felt about what'll happen to them after they die.
I'm in a death/dying class this semester, and we had to take a tour of a local funeral home/memoral park two weeks ago. Let me say, going to a place like that is much different when you're not full of the emtions of going to a wake or memorial. Their business is 70% crematory, which is pretty high comparatively speaking.
I'd like to be cremated, then leave it up to my family whether to scatter me over a special family place, or stick me in an urn or memorial at some funeral home. I figure they're the ones who'll miss me, so it might be easy for them to have some flexibility. All i know for sure is I don't under any circumstances want to lie and rot in a hole in the ground.
So, what's your last wish as far as your body goes?
