How do you want to be "buried"?Hey Guys;
Well, I was just wondering but, how would you want to be "buried" I use the term loosely because I don't know what else to call it if you are cremated and having your ashes scattered or anything.
So, how do you want to be buried?
Body Buried?
Cremated and ashes buried?
Cremated and ashes scattered?
Buried at sea?

Cemetery. Preferably coated in chocolate.

Re: How do you want to be "buried"?My conscious will have retired, but my physical being is and will be as present as it ever was in this universe. I would want my body to go to medical science and research. It's the most feasible way my atoms will be recycled and spread to create new life all around. And it's a true way of eternal life - and the more elegant one compared to being lobotmized and drooling and slobbering with gooey praise (or writhing around in fire) for all eternity.

Re: How do you want to be "buried"?I have a severe fear of graveyards, I feel so sick just walking past them but I can just about stand to walk in between graves, definitely not over them
Despite the fact that I wont be conscious when I'm dead, I want to be cremated and scattered otherwise I'd just be becoming something I fear.
(Btw I'm not scared of dead people, just the idea of walking over someone whose dead.....if that makes any sense)
Plus you rely on your living relatives to take care of your grave once you've gone, I think that's a lot to ask especially when they're older. My great aunt is still responsible for taking care of my great grandparents graves etc because no one else lives close enough to do it instead. Cremating removes this obligation, they can just visit wherever you were scattered when they feel like it (if at all)

. No idea where I would like to be scattered though.
