Discussion What do you wish to happen with your body when you're dead?

[Jacquelyn]

Basically, what do you want your family/others to do with your body when you're found?

I think I want to be burried. Purely because I'd like to have some sort of phrase engraved on my tombstone. Maybe "Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die". Sounds good enough and I love Hunter S Thompson's work.
Otherwise, I'd like to be cremated.

The ultimate option would be to get cryogenically frozen. But, I don't have enough money and my body will probably be impossible to revive, even in the future, depending on my method.

I never really thought about this before.

I guess just a burial. Maybe being turned into food but that's kinda gross. I wonder if I taste good... I think I'm relatively healthy so maybe I would taste good.

Hahaha.

I said this earlier in a different thread, but green burial or cremation.

@CFLoser

according to some cannibals, human flesh tastes similar to pork, hence why it's referred to as long pig, or in the case of the leg, heavy leg (as it's weightier and more cumbersome than a pork leg.) You should never eat it, especially the brain, as these can produce shakes. The indigenous New Guineans refer to this phenomena as kuru ("shake") as their funereal rituals involved the consumption of the dead in a special pot.

@peep

ideally I'd want a Christian burial. However few Churches ever let those who kill themselves into consecrated ground.

 

[throwaway123]

I'd like to be burned and my ashes to be thrown into the wind.

I don't want a grave, but if I have to I'd like an anonymous grave. I don't want anyone to remember me. I just want to leave and be forgotten. Not a single person I knew deserves to know.

No one helped me while I was alive. No one.

 

[Moms_Spaghetti]

Just throw me in the trash

 

[Wolfjob_dayjob]

The ultimate option would be not cremated and to heat a city or grow a tree with my decomposition or something, but that's sci-fi future thinking stuff. "Look I'm helping!"

You can get burial pods that grow trees now.

 

[AhG]

To be cremated. I don't want my body to be in the ground rotting away. I want my ashes to spread at my favorite places.

 

[LivingToLong]

I won't care, so I don't.

The living me would rather be burnt (or otherwise dispensed with) than buried but in all honesty I really don't care. It's probably more to do with my family's wishes than with mine. Feed me to the pigeons, I dunno.

 

[cornflowerblue]

I want my body, brain, and other organs donated for transplants or research. Unfortunately this isn't an option with ctb because there are very strict criteria about the timeline between death and starting the preservation process, and with ctb being illegal we'd all have to leave some time to ensure we aren't found, which also means our bodies can't go to good use.

 

[21Neberg]

Just bury me. They can return every year for a couple of years to lay down some flowers on the anniversary but other than that, I'm sorry I failed, but move on from me.

 

[YukiFox]

I wish I will be cremated and my ashes be throw away by a sorceress or shaman on any forest.

 

[WhiteRabbit]

I've always wanted to be cremated. I'm claustrophobic and the thought of being locked in a box underground creeps me out.

 

[FTL.Wanderer]

I'd like my matter to benefit the wild ecosystem. Maybe initially as food for small animals, insects, saprobes. Then enrich the soil for plants, trees... I don't give two f*cks about the effects on other people though I won't do anything to directly harm anyone else.

 

[TAW122]

I don't really have a prefererence of what should happen to my body. Cremation, burial, or even just thrown into the ocean, I don't care as I'm already dead. Also, I would prefer not to have a funeral (saves time and cost), but then again only the living can decide what to do.

 

[wanttodie]

To be cremated.

 

[RottenOdysseus]

I want to be cremated. The thought of my body being dug up later freaks me out and I want all traces of my existence to be destroyed.

 

[Walilamdzi]

I think I would rather be cremated, but don't like thinking about these things really.

 

[Begemont]

The best option would be: Whatever organs that still can be used are taken out and given to those who need them and then afterwards the rest of the carcass thrown to the animals of the local zoo. I would be useful for once.

Since basically both of those are an impossibility, I don't really care. Whatever is most ecological and "acceptable" enough.

 

[silentsinger]

My organs will be donated and then I'll be cremated.

 

[Iceangel]

If anythings still usuable, donation. Then or if not Id like to be buried in an unmarked grave, no casket or anything. Maybe dumped in the ocean. Circle of life and all that maybe ill be grass next...(kidding, sort of)

 

[Quinlor]

Just burie me and I would turn me food for ant and suffer putrefaction

 

[Soon4me]

I want my cold dead body to be launched into outer space,where it will drift,for a really long time,through the vastness of space.

 

[Amber1974]

Don't care

 

[Thin Chew]

I would want them to burnt my body, and keep my ash in a place far from my home. The last thing I wanna do is go as far as I can, away from my family even I'm dead. Yes, that's how desperate I am to my family

 

[wanttodie]

I've always wanted to be cremated

 

[Superfluous]

Thrown into the sea or buried without casket or marker. Basically, anything green and somewhere I won't be found.
