After we Die

[The Sum of Awe]

After you die are you getting cremated, cryonics, buried, etc.

I was also wondering if it is possible to lay my body on a board and let me float in the ocean, just in case I'm not actually dead therefore I wont be cremated alive, frozen alive, or most horribly buried alive. I'll just wake up and be all like "Hey, I'm alive." You know it does happen sometimes where they think you die, but you actually aren't dead, and you are buried alive.

If I'm dead, I don't care much. I'd prefer cremation.

The concept of burial, at least in the common sense, doesn't make sense to me, because a place cannot permanently belong to someone when there are constantly people being born and dying.

Cremated. It's cheaper, and good land won't be wasted.

Promession. I like the idea of being frozen and shattered, and apparently it's environmentally better than burial or cremation.

No idea on that.

I'm going to have my corpse put in the cellar of an old, derelict house. That way, when kids come in and play I can get up as a zombie and chase them off.

Alternatively I'll have my brain implanted into a cyborg gorilla.

Or I'll have myself turned into a hat.

So many options I'm not sure what to pick. In all seriousness I definitely want have something stupid, expensive or pointless done.

May I recommend a replica of the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter, that is also a parasite that latches onto the child's head?

Well I would have assumed that goes without saying


I could just do something silly for my tombstone. Maybe have something like "You're standing on my head" or "I'm looking up your skirt."

I want a funeral with my music in it then I just want to be cremated. Caskets are expensive and if we didn't have to buy them just to be laid in the ground, I would prefer just being laid in the ground where my body could give the soil and its worms nutrition.

If I'm cremated alive...that means the morgue didn't do a good job preserving my beauty for all the people to see.

cremation is a quick way to put you out of suffering, in case you may alive,but all other people believe you're dead

I don't really care. What ever if best for the environment :angel2:

So you will wake up cold, wet and alone in the middle of the ocean with no idea in which direction land is... Yep, that sounds so much better

My preference is to decompose on earthy ground, but you can't do that, so I'll settle for cremation.

No, that's not possible. They won't let you do that either. Sorry. But out of curiosity, what if you woke up in the ocean?

Seriously though, to ease your fears, you don't have to worry about being buried alive. They're going to drain you beforehand. Now, if you are laying on the slab, and wake up, as they slit the arteries under your arms, you're in deep **** for about 15 seconds.

If you're afraid of premature burial, buy a small plot of land and build a central heated mausoleum with a mini bar and a lounge area. Just make sure you're interred with a key handy to let yourself out

Buried Alive?

There's an app for that.

[Me Myself]

Cremation.

I don´t want people to have to visit somewhere in the naive notion that they´ll be closer to me when they are closer to my former-shell.

Ashes would be put on the Sea or something.

 

[SageTree]

No doubt I often look at cemeteries and think of all that house-able land that we could put ALIVE people on, who are currently living on the streets.

 

[Jainarayan]

Me = cremation. Ashes scattered at the New Jersey coast, though preferably sent parcel post to someone in Varanasi India to be given up to the Ganges River. Better yet, to be fortunate enough to die in Varanasi and be cremated there is instant moksha, liberation from rebirth.

 

[Nerthus]

I don't know. The idea of cremation frightens me... that's the last thing I want to happen.

Athough, the idea of being made into a gem, or a firework, or pencil freaks me out too.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

What would they do with it (the body) if you didn't put any money or decision in your death?

 

[Jainarayan]

Usually a public "potter's field" run by a city, county or state.
