Err...I don't think that I'll be in attendance.

Dilbert1234567 02-20-2004 09:39 AM

dump me in a ditch, that is unless my body is intact, then donate it to science, or a Marionette

SpikeQX99 02-20-2004 05:13 PM

Well, here's my thought.

First you are alive, then you are dead. Dead is Dead.

I don't care. I'm dead!

Whatevers easiest for the rest of the people who are left to deal with me!!

Holo 02-20-2004 05:18 PM

Burial is wasteful and expensive. I'd like to have my body thrown in the ocean to be eaten by whatever is hungry. But that's illegal so I guess cremation.

Arsenic7 02-20-2004 05:51 PM

Cremated....burial is a waste of space, probably would cost more for my family, and I'd rather be scattered out into the world than buried hidden underground.

pocon1 02-20-2004 06:44 PM

I want to be buried, but not in a regular coffin in a concrete box. I think that is morbid. Put me in a nice wooden coffin, like a pine board box, and bury me in the dirt, so I can decompose and give back to nature. Or else bury me in my car, because I love cars. You can drain the oil and gas first. But I want to be in the drivers seat, hands on the wheel, Rush's Tom Sawyer in the radio, and a crash helmet on my head for whatever Lies on the big highway ahead.

bernadette 02-20-2004 07:30 PM

if i had useful any remaining parts to donate, sure take them... i suspect they'll be nothing worth retrieving though.

don't spend thousands of dollars to toss me into a box to just get all slimey & gross. ok. 'i'm' not there, but just my worldy once was body yknow. what a waste of money... in my mind.

just cremate me then toss me in the pacific. cheap & easy as best.

Hmmmm. Some strange tpes out there. I vote for, take what you can use and then get rid of the rest the cheapest way possible. Makes no sense to me to spend thousands of dollars and get nothing you can really use.

EruptiveDreamz 02-21-2004 08:48 AM

I wanna donate my body to forensic science for the homiside study scene they have.

twilightfoix 02-21-2004 10:09 AM

cooked well done, and scattered at the top of a mountain where the wind will take my ashes all over the place. that sounds kinda cool. and if my ashes get in your mouth, then hell swallow it. then i'll always be with you.

matteo101 02-21-2004 10:16 PM

I want to donate anything that can be taken from me. Then I want to be cremated, and spread into the ocean and into the mountains.

runawayfetus 02-24-2004 06:13 PM

i want to be cremaited and poure over some huge lake like lake tahoe or something

NoLa 02-24-2004 08:31 PM

I just posted this on another message board.


Cremated.

I dont want people looking at my dead body lying in a coffin.

santafe5000 02-24-2004 08:57 PM

Donate my body for use in MEd school. I won't be in it so why spend the money for burial or cremation. Might as well let someone get some pratical use of it.

floydthebarber 02-24-2004 10:35 PM

Cremated and spread around my favorite fishing spot. I'll be happy with that.

Bleed Me Dry 02-25-2004 03:53 PM

I will be worm food anyway, so just kick my dead rotting ass into the garden...that seems like it would be a nice place.

Hanabal 02-25-2004 08:50 PM

at the moment, cremated.

I read somewhere that there is a small amout of people, not many, but some that are buried alive. Im not sure if its true, but that would be the most horrible thing to wake up to.

Paq 02-27-2004 01:29 AM

hanabal, there are several scary truths to that about people being buried alive, but most/all happened well before modern times. Mainly, we now embalm before burial, so if you're not dead before embalming, you're dead afterwards :)

And yeah, quite a few people were buried alive. They have exhumed a rather distressing amount of graves that had clawmarks on the inside where the person tried clawing his/her way out of the casket..

Also, during hte 18th/19th centuries, they would put a pole down with a string and a bell on the top side. The string would extend into the coffin so that if someone were alive, he could pull the string to alert someone above so they can dig him up. There were people who stayed at night to listen for any bells. From this, we get the terms, "Graveyard shift" and "Dead Ringer"

That's also where the tradition of the "wake" comes from.

Paq 02-28-2004 10:22 AM

True true, something about the acids in tomatoes mixing with the pewter in the plates that produced a toxin that caused people to deeply pass out and pass for dead....

i wiesh i could find the site with all that stuff..

Qazwsxedc 02-28-2004 10:25 AM

you're death class????????

i want to be buried... that's it.. nothign fancy. I don't want to be burned to a crisp and have my ashes in a Urn (sp?) for all to see..

Cardinal Syn 02-29-2004 08:10 AM

I want to me mummified and placed in my own tomb.

Evil Milkman 02-29-2004 08:17 AM

I suppose if I had to choose I'd say just cremate me. But I just hope they make sure I'm dead first...

Captain Canada 02-29-2004 01:47 PM

Cremate me and spread my ashes around the Ferrari factory in Modena.

gorilla 03-11-2004 06:23 PM

left in a ditch somewhere or fed to livestock.... cheap and easy for the family, and its not like I'm gonna care.. I'll already be reincarnated into something else.

CryptikSoul 03-11-2004 06:37 PM

Cryogenics all the way! Unless of course they find a way to transfer my brain into a robot armed with lasers and rocket-launchers. Then I'd take the robot. Yeah.

03-11-2004 07:14 PM

Cremation- and spread into the ocean.

stayupthetree 03-11-2004 07:18 PM

I personally dont care what happens to me once I am dead. After death activities here in the physical world are more for family and friends. Its there closure. Im dead, what does it matter?

bparker805 03-12-2004 12:01 PM

If I am buried (which i dont really care for), I want to be placed face down in an old fassion pine box. yeah yeah so the rest of the world can kiss my ass.

But what I really want is to be cremated. Before hand, I want my tattoos to be skinned off my body and dried so that they can be given to my friends. Im thinking black frames with a black matting. After that lets light a fire! I want my ashes placed in small vials and given away to my friends. I'm thinking that death really sucks but I want those in my life to have something of me to hold onto. Besides I would be a great conversation piece after death. If I pass on before my dad and he takes me to the supermarket and weighs me like we did to my uncle or takes me out to dinner like we did my grandmother, Im gonna be pissed that he couldn't come up with something a little bit more original!

crony 03-12-2004 06:28 PM

I'll go whatever way is cheapest and easiest for my loved ones.

Hrothgar 03-13-2004 08:28 PM

Cremated. Then put in a big urn. Then put in a scary mausoleum so my spirit can haunt horny teens when they knock my urn over.

Eclipse26 03-13-2004 10:55 PM

I'd definitely prefer to be cremated and have my ashes scattered. No reason to hang about for eternity...besides...urns take up space.

mastboyx 03-15-2004 10:25 AM

cremation!! all the way

Charlatan 03-15-2004 11:09 AM

Cremate me so my corpse doesn't take up space...

I can't remember the film but someone requested their ashes get scattered and when the friends go to scatter them a big wind comes up and they get a faceful of ashes... creepily funny.

Captain Canada 03-15-2004 02:52 PM

I'd either want to be cremated, or donated to science.

aarchaon 03-17-2004 02:55 AM

Donate my body to science, and when they are done with me, burn me and shoot me into space using a bunch of fireworks.

Huzzah.

Cherry 03-24-2004 01:30 AM

I'm gonna die??? Oh, hell no, I don't think so.....

:lol:

Honestly, I could care less. I'll be dead, what would I know?

cj22009 03-24-2004 05:56 AM

Burn me baby I whats left of my useful organs to be donated then cremate me I want to be put in a container of some sort and shipped around the world
