When death prevails, how would you like your body disposed of? Cremation or 6 ft under?

Answer 1

I used to always think I wanted to be buried (ha, or perhaps mummified...which costs like $25,000 to do..) but in the past few years I have been thinking more about more about being cremated and having my ashes split up - some being buried with my husbad (or saved to be buried with him), some with my dog (he's a rescue and quite cherished), some with my family, and the rest scattered in bits in all the places I love (different places I spent time as a child, the Smoky Mts, Maine, Mexico, etc) and all the places I have wanted to go but have not seen in life (Alaska, Nunavut, Ireland, Peru, Ecuador, Germany, and so on and so forth). That way even though I couldn't be there in life, a tiny bit of me will forever be there in death.

Answer 2

I don't want either. If cremated is there any guarantee that it is really the deceased person who is being cremated? About 12 years ago there was a huge law suit because loved ones found out that a crematorium was throwing multiple bodies in to be cremated together and that they were handed several peoples remains. During the investigation, many people found out that the deceased loved ones thought to be cremated were sold to Universities as cadavers. This was the case with my husbands grandfather. We finally got his body back but that was only after science had it for 6 months. He was respectfully buried in a tomb in California. I don't want to be buried in a wooden box because of the bugs. Yeah I know I will be dead and that things like that won't matter but hey I am alive now. I wish that there was a way to preserve a persons body without the risk of science manipulating it when found hundreds or thousands of years from now. Any Ideas?

Answer 3

Leaning toward ,cremation,with the ashes packed into a rocket and blasted into the sky like the 4th of July.
I also liked the Indian burial up on the platform wrapped in robes, like in the old western movies.
Or like the Vikings in a small ship set ablaze with a flaming arrow.
Or buried in Ice at Antarctica.
I hope it is premature to be thinking about this.

Answer 4

Cremation.

Answer 5

My husband and I have both agreed that we wish to be cremated. Leave this world for the living. If we keep burrying whole boddies eventually the world will be nothing but cemetaries. I don't want my children or grandchildren living in a cemetary.

The important part of us, our soul, will be off to eternity in heaven with Jesus anyway. So it doesn't really matter what they do to my body.

Just don't be a sicko and play with it. Yuck, have some respect.

Answer 6

Once I saw this show on what actually happens to the body after burial.Needless to say I'd rather be cremated.I think you should only take up space if you actually exist-not when you're dead.On the other hand some people feel the need to leave a memorial or stone behind so that you know they were here.

Answer 7

A viking funeral with some explosion at the end would be my preference. Have a large raft constructed and your body placed in the center. Torches around the outside lit and have the raft cast out to sea. Just as everyone is watching me drift away and they all consider going home, I'll have some large fireworks, we're talking Disney magnitude, go off. All of this to my life's theme song, Tchiacovsky's 1812.

Answer 8

I would like to be cremated because I could always be around the ones I love and who love me. I could live in a pretty pot.

Answer 9

Person choice is Cremation.

It saves valuable land space that should be used for other
things then burying the dead. Cemeteries could be only
one half or one quarter of the size needed if everyone
was cremated.

Answer 10

Cremation then scatter the ash's on the ocean
