I'm undecided about this, but probably "lean cremation".

What about you ?

I've told my loved ones to do whatever is cheapest.  I don't know if "science" still gives you $80 bucks for a fresh cadaver for med students to carve up, but that's probably what I'd prefer.


edit-and all my old posts will suddenly become accurately named.

Donate any usable organs & cremate the remainders.

I had the Hepatitis as a kid and was told my organs are now useless (except my retinas) so that's not an option for me.

Basically a combo of Ebowed and Dead0man... Take out my organs, then whatever's cheapest. Fine with donating to science, too, but if they've taken out my organs I don't think they'll want the remnants for science.

I won't presume to own any property once I am dead, included but not limited to my corpse.

I'd donate my body to the science or freeze it.

Organ donation, followed by donation to medical science then have the remains cremated.

Organ donation and then a burial.  My gravestone may aid future generations in their geneology search.

I'll take cremation over burial and I have no problems with any useful body parts being used for organ donation or research.

P.S. - please dispose of the (cremation) ashes instead of keeping them around

I would ideally want a sky burial.

Other! The organs should first be donated to people who can put them to good use, from which point I want part of my body to be converted into a synthetic gemstone (maybe a diamond, or perhaps something else... I have time still to decide!) to affix on a 14 karat, rose gold ring to be kept within the family as an heirloom of sorts for however long is reasonably possible. Whatever happens to be left at that point can be cremated and left to relatives to decide what to do with.

Donate it to science and then cremate when done.

Creative ways to cremate me that I would like:
1. Viking funeral.
2. Shoot my corpse into the sun.

The important thing is that I can't come back as a zombie.

Donate my organs, and plant a tree in my chest cavity. If that can't be done . . .
When I die, don't bury me at all
Place my bones in alcohol
And at my feet, place a snow white dove
To tell the world that I died for love.

Burial, preferably in something that won't take too long to decompose.

Buried. That way, if my family wants to see me, they have to make an effort and go to my grave, not just go into the kitchen and look at a vase with my ashes.
