Cremated
Wanda L. Disharoon
I'm an organ donor so once they get all the organs from head to toe that can be used.. to me it doesn't matter. I have expressed to be cremated but thats because I don't want my body on display at a viewing. Buts thats just me.
Cremated
Why waste the money, cremate me please.
My whole body is donated to science . I will be used for the new doctors to work on , then they will cremated my remains . More people should do this , i believe it is important for new cures.
Send me to a taxidermist to be stuffed. I would like to rest in my favorite recliner.
not sure, don't want to be burned and I'm afraid of the dark
Cremate me please, I don't want to come back ever as a Zombie...my soul will be fine once it leaves my body anyway.
cremated
Im going to the body farm.
Cremated after all reusable parts are removed and distributed.

Buried. I am 32 and purchased 4 burial plots when I was 21 for myself, my husband, and two extras for our children or a family member that waited until it was too late to plan! Sounds morbid but when someone has planned as many funerals as I had by the age of 21 they would understand the stress placed on others when the deceased doesn't plan for their own death.
I think planning your own funeral is empowering and beneficial to loved ones when that day comes. I have the plot, money in a death account if you will, it is an account that doesnt get touched unless I die or come damn close to it! I also have a list of almost everything to the "T" of what I want my funeral to consist of down to the music played and the clothes I am buried in.
I don't WANT either.
Increase the local blue crab population by chopping my useless body up into little pieces and drop them into the Chesapeake.
I won't be here so it doesn't really matter to me. I'll leave it up to my family. I know where I'll be the day I die - "We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." 2 Cor 5:8
How interesting and wonderful that as I'm thinking of this the word verification for this post is "joyed" ;)
After my organs are donated ill be cremated.
I'm an organ donor; then my body will be picked up for free by sciencecare.com. They will sell some of my body parts to hospitals and researchers. If my family wishes, they can pay $45 to get what's left after cremation. I refuse to leave my family with the burden of an overpriced funeral, casket and vault. Visit sciencecare.com for the details!
Buried. Had a parent who remarried and when he died had no idea wife #2 was going to have him cremated. What a shock - then remains were put in a cemetery where no other relatives were. Not a very nice experience.
9:44 whats a body farm? cj
I want my head stuffed with a happy face to be placed on my mail box.
Cremated, then stuffed in a Moutain Dew can, then lost forever in the back of a disused refridgerator. Maybe and archie will find it in 1000 years and wonder at our weird burial habits.
the "boss lady" said that she will cremate my remains after the doctors pull out what i haven't worn out.
but right now, she wants to light a fire under my butt to get me to do the fall clean up around the yard
Thrown in the trash.
Just a dead body. I won't be in the body when it happens.
Donating the organs, thinking about donating my body to science. Can't see leaving the family to deal with such nonsense. When everyone is done with me they can cremate and give the ashes back to my family.
Gut me for the organ bank, then BBQ the rest for the party! It'll save on the catering bill!
Green burial. No embalming, simple wooden box. Memorial service later.
buried!!! i dont want to be ash
CREMATED!!!!!
Cryogenically frozen next to Walt Disney.
Not sure but leaning towards cremation.Eventually we are going to run out of room to bury bodies and I have a thing about being out in a box and being left whole.
Cremation.
George Carlin said it best, "the biggest waste of land is cemetaries and golf courses."
10:52~too funny! I want to be cremated. I am claustrophobic and cannot stand the thought of being under ground.
My granddad was cremated and per his wishes I went out in his boat and scattered one half of his ashes at his favorite fishing spot and the other half was put into my grandmother's casket.
10:38 Its a private run organization that is completly fenced in.They puts the bodies in all types of situations(as if they were dumped) then the college kids study them for all types of data (forensics) to help aid them down the road in solving murder cases. Pretty much forensic studies.
Buried please
I choose cremated. I am short but don't want the funeral home to rip my family off by making them buy an adult sized casket because I am an adult. A child's size would be fine. Besides, being short, I am afraid that I would slide from one end to the other if it were tilted with an adult sized one. I also want my ashes mixed in with a can of white ceiling paint and painted on the bedroom ceiling of my fav movie star so I can finally say I spent the night with him...roflmao
I want to be buried. To all of you who don't want a service, I understand; however, for those of us who are left behind you don't know the impact not having a service behind. Even if it's just a small gathering, it's our opportunity to have a brief moment of grief, tears, laughter and memories. We did not have service for my grandfather or my great grandmother. They both donated their bodies to science. No service. Nothing. It sucked and there was and still is any closure. So all of you just think about the one you love the most died and you weren't able to celebrate their life just one last time how you would really feel. It is a difficult thing and I will always feel like I didn't have closure.
Neither as the last time I checked I was still alive.
Cremated
I like the idea of burial, the whole "saying goodbye" and a place to visit to remember me when I'm gone. But the idea of cremation is growing on me. As I'm young, I've got a few years to decide, but for now I'd vote burial.
