I have a computer called a Sun E450, and the case is big enough that I can fit inside. I want to be buried somewhere that will confuse future archaeologists.

I want to be stuffed and put in a place where I will scare small children and people with weak hearts. :twisted:

My brain can go to Aspergers research, if they still want it. They can have any usable organs. And then I'd like a woodland burial - they put you in a cardboard coffin, bury you, and plant a tree on top, and when enough people have been buried it's a woodland. I'm not too keen on being with all those other people, but I guess if I'm dead I won't care.

I'd like to have my body scanned into a computer in 3D and then distrubuted as a file to whoever wants it... That's right bury me on the web!

The current state of cryogenics means that mummification is actually more likely to get you resurrected at a later date - just make sure you put the right sort of curse on your pyramid.

I'd want all my useable organs to be donated to those who need them, and what's left over given to the poor and hungry. We eat worse things at McDonalds.

I want my skin taken off, tanned, then made into a suit by an Italian fashion designer.

Give my bones to the dogs of Korea, especially those farmed for their meat.

I want my brain given to science, on the provision that they use it to find a cure for neuro-typicallity. I don't mean that they should use such a cure, but it might be handy to have one, all the same.

If I have hair, cut it off and sprinkle it amongst the tobacco in the cigarette factories.

If I have teeth, put them in the shells of oysters and then once pearlised, make a necklace of them and auction it on eBay to raise money for dentistry in Britain.

And finally, build a statue in my honour, just of my legs. Place it in vast expanse of desert with the inscription, "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

if there's anything that still works that can be transplanted, i'd like 'em transplanted. then i'd like to be cremated and have my ashes scattered in the rocky mountains in a forest somewhere. if they have to plant me somewhere, i want a grave marker that says "don't make me have to come up there!"

i already told the kid to go the cheapest route possible and to take a vacation to somewhere she's always wanted to go, on my tab.

i'd thought about donating for medical science, but i don't want to end up being the "victim" on a land-mine testing range or anything. which can happen - i mean, you can't argue the point once you're at it!

They do that to people's bodies that donate to medical science? Wow that just seems so disrespectful to the deceased person who was nice enough to donate they're body.

Funerals are basically for the family... so they can do whatever they want with my body when I am gone. Personally I think burial/embalming is creepy but a lot of people need to have that "one last look" at their loved one. So when I am dead, they can do whatever they need to do to get past the grief.

Grind and flush.


JK! I like the idea of being either cryogenically preserved, or cremated outside under the bare sky like thye do in India, and have them split my head open to release the soul and all that.

I'd like to be sent to a taxidermist to be stuffed and put in a tuxedo and posed so that I could hold a sign with a rude caption. I'd basically be a statue.

I'd still have to decide who would get to inheret my statue/corpse. A museum? The Smithsonian? Whoever it is had better take good care of it, and I'll need outings to be taken to important events as a macabre joke, such as being brought to congressional hearings.

Philosophically, I'm a buddhist. I believe (part of) reincarnation is the natural process of our physical bodies dissolving in natural conditions. I think cremation is just another way to pollute the air. Being buried would come in second, and while I've had my share of fantasies of getting buried in the ice of Greenland to benefit future archeologists, I really don't see why I would not want my corpse to benefit scientific causes. As long as they don't go Frankenstein on me. :o

Oh what a good idea woodland burial. I never heard of it before. That way loved ones can visit your tree in a nice woodland setting. Provide of course if I had any loved ones come visit which I probably wouldn't. They don't visit me while i'm still alive.
