    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?

    How do you want to be buried?

    I would want to be in a coffin suitable for space and be launched into a never ending universe.

    I'd leave it up to my family to decid and do whatever they think is best, the whole burial process is going to affect them more than me anyway. I'll be too dead to care...

    cremated and ashes scattered at sea. it would be amazing to become a part of the water cycle! :cool:
    I'd like to donate my organs and thought about donating my body to medical reseach, but it's not as noble as it sounds.. in practice that means med students lopping of bits of your body to practice on, not being used to find a cure for cancer. also, I wached a film called 'pathology', which 'm sure isn't an accurate representation of what goes on in medical labs but still.. no thanks

    I'm being buried in a traditional Catholic service. I already have a plot bought for me by my mother (in Killingbeck cemetery, Leeds).....yes my mother is cheerful lol.
    Your mother's already preparing for your funeral?!
    You can't be older than 30 surely?!

    I would like to be cremated and have my Ashes put in to fireworks and then instead of a normal funeral have a fireworks display with music and bbq food for everyone.

    However I'm pretty sure this would cost a lot of money so probably won't happen lol, I don't mind what happens because I'll be dead (other than that they make sure I'm really dead) so I'm happy with whatever the people I leave behind want.

    Buried. The idea of being burnt never really appealed to me, though I can understand why people would prefer to be scattered somewhere special.

    I'd like to be preserved and placed on a plinth, with middle finger raised, outside the house of somebody I don't like - probably an ex girlfriend.

    I'd hope nobody vandalises me.

    I want to be placed in HMS Royal and then be left to float the seven seas, haunting all Ethiopian pirates and my body drifts languidly through the oceans of doom.

    Cremated then my ashes put in a massive firework
    Same, because then a) the last gift I will give will be an amazing show and
    b) because then everyone watching will be paranoid about whether they got bits of me in their hair

    I couldn't be buried in case I was still alive, whilst if I was alive and then cremated then there wouldn't be much pain, as the furnace is very hot, so it would be over very quickly. But what I'd really like is to be cremated then placed on top of mount everest, so when I die, I am truly on top of the world

    I would rather live with the blissfully ignorant belief that I'm going to live forever.
    That translates into: I haven't given it any thought and at age 20 I really don't want to think about it!

    Organs donated and then the 'rest' of me buried at sea.


    Somewhere hot though, like the Maldives. None of that 'off a boat in Cornwall' business. Plus some sort of ceremony involving trained dolphins would be nice.
