not sure what the most appropriate place for this thread is, so here we go...

What do you want done with your body when you die?

I know that burying me whole, underground in a box, with embalming fluid is probably the worst option. It takes up space that could be good for walking, keeps my body around for longer than it needs to be, and the box creates unecessary waste. I would like to be consumed - whether it be by worms, coyotes, bears, fire, etc.

What about you?

Originally, I loved the idea of being buried and laying back down into the earth from which I came. But it came to my attention that theres no way for that to happen because of these boxes they'll put you in. So my answer; Cremated, And spread across somewhere or something that means a lot to me.

I dont want anything done, actually. Although I know in this day and age it would be rather difficult to never be discovered, I have always adored the idea of just disappearing and never being found, so then no one would ever have to deal with my death, and I would just simply be lost. But I never, ever, EVER want to be put in a casket and buried 6 feet under. I heard stories about how at the turn of the century one out of ten people were buried alive, when thought dead. They had just been unconscious. I can't imagine what it would feel like to wake up in a casket, although I'm sure they died from lack of oxygen before realizing their fate.

what an odd topic, I must admit!

As for the poll, do we get to choose which part of the body we choose to eat?

I don't really think I'll care that much for my body when I'm dead.

When Hunter S. Thompson killed himself, his will explained his funeral arrangements. He was to be cremated, and then Bill Murray and Johnny Depp took his ashes up to a cliff and shot them out of a cannon somewhere in the Southwest. He always was ridiculous.

As for me, I would like to be cremated, and then have my ashes spread somewhere. No point in taking up land by being buried, and anyways, I don't think of the body as the person, rather just the shell and temple where we are temporarily housed. Sometimes imprisoned.

I also love skeletal remains and time to time making things with bones/teeth I have found or been given. I mostly collect skulls though but would really like to have full skeletons assembled for display almost like they were still alive and posed doing something "natural" to that particular creature..
