Morbid I know but........

yesterday I went to a funeral of a friend (slightly younger than me) and she was cremated.
I'm not thinking of popping my clogs anytime soon,I hope, but perhaps I should be thinking of arrangements I need to make in case I die suddenly like my friend and haven't left instructions on how to dispose of my body.
Have you any thoughts on this? Would you prefer to be buried, cremated or would you leave your body to science?
Sorry again for this morbid subject.

Someone at the funeral yesterday said they would like their ashes scattered at sea but I thought you could only do that if you had some connection i.e been in the Navy or something. If you wanted your ashes to be scattered at your football ground can you do that?
How can a decomposing body pollute the woodland? The human body is fully biodegradable, although the skeleton takes a long time to rot but does the earth no harm whatsoever, in fact it is a very good fertiliser.
Cremation uses gas to create the flames, it isn't just a case of setting fire to the corpse with a box of matches!

Yes missprim, you can dispose of ashes as you see fit. After my OHs cremation I had lots of mail from councils, churches & undertakers quoting prices for interning/scattering ashes. I ignored all, some ashes are on my property, some in the Thames & some at home awaiting me to join in - my kids have instructions.
