How are you going to be disposed of, after death?

[flobadob]

Burial? Cremation? Donated to science? Made into a diamond(which can apparently be done now)?
What's your plans, especially this question is for any atheists out there.

[China Doll]

Cremated and chucked out to sea hopefully.

Humanist funeral followed by cremation. I've written instructions into my will which give more details but, basically, get it over with as soon as possible.

The only piece of music I want is "Wondering" by Van der Graaf Generator in its entirety.

[NoMercy]

Buried with a Jeraboam of Veuve and one of my Jasper Conran flutes.

[slinkycat]

There's a "natural" type burial ground near where I live, cardboard coffin, and then they plant a tree. Quite like the idea of that, hope its a while off yet tho!

[trickythetipster]

Great question flobadob!
I like to think that my remains when the time comes will be blasted off to space allowing me to travel forever and carry on expanding for eternity. maybe my capsule will be picked up by a super race and i will be back after my dna is reconstructed.

My top tip of today everyone is why opt for the boring "Stuck on planet earth" ways? Id like to think that all of us can carry on this party in another world, time and place, come and join me!

[joggerjayne]

They can put me in a skip for all I care, as long as they have a good party.

[lankeela]

No funeral, body going for 'whole body donation' to university hospital, they then cremate the remains when they have finished poking and prodding to teach the newbies. I have got the forms on my desk to fill in, must do it in case I drop dead.
You're my witnesses if I don't make it.

[flobadob]

Nice one tricky, thats what I say too "Blasted into space". Half joking but if it was possible it might be quite cool.

[Sandy-Wroe]

I'm fulfilling an ambition and going to university. After I've helped teach a few medical students I don't care much what they do with the remains.

[Mamyalynne]

I bought a double plot when my husband died in 2008, so thats where I am heading ( maybe the wrong term)

shot into space is possible

but I think I shall leave my body to a circus.

[trickythetipster]

Hunter s thompson, wasn't he the man that wrote "Fear and loathing in las vegas'? A film/book that i still haven't seen/read but intend to big time!
Either way what a great way to go!

Todays top tip is try and catch up on a film,book that you've been meaning to.

and Gene Roddenberry and Timothy Leary and...

Put in a bin liner and buried at the bottom of the garden. Sod paying those bloody funeral expenses.

[andy-hughes]

Take the bits they can use - one liver, never touched with alcohol, one pair of lungs - uncontaminated by nicotine - and burn the rest.

[Pea Pod]

My daughter says I am having a coffin with ...Sponsored by Benson and Hedges on ths side. Still trying to make money off me when I`m gone.

[Rev Sermon]

Cremation, I know I'll be dead but I don't like the idea of the worms eating me and probably as cheap as possible.

We had a predominantly humanist funeral for my parents which was a very moving ceremony with appropriate pieces of music and reminiscences from my sister and myself. One thing that was said to us is that the funeral is as much for those left behind as for the deceased. It is part of the grieving and the healing process. This applies to atheists or those with a god to believe in. Either way you have experienced a loss.

[lucca]

We also have a "natural" burial ground near us and I like that idea (but not yet!) Full-works funerals are extortionate, aren't they?
Eddie, I'm interested in your reply about the diamond. It sounds like a very scientific bit of sense. I have a friend who had a "diamond" made from her husband's ashes - I think it was done in USA and I'm not sure of cost but I bet it was breathtaking. She has a lovely gold-looking stone set in a ring. But what has she got?
