I mean, do you wish for burial, or cremation, or do you want to be pickled and put in a display case for all your followers to leer at, Put up on a rack in skins like some indians, I kind of like the idea of a big mush pool, like in waterworld. at least there would be some use for the nutrients. I would like my bones made into windchimes, (really!) but i dont know who would do that for me. What I am getting to, I guess. Is, We dont need our dead bodies anymore after we die, why clutter up the landscape with them, why not put them to some use, like a forensics school, or maybe that body farm? Or a fertilizer pit. they will just end up tearing up all the cemeteries, anyway, when they need to build a new housing project. Do you think there is some spiritual aspect to being buried?

I really don't care what happens to my body after i die, just please if there is a god, don't let any weirdo do anything sexual to me. You are really freakin me out with the bone windchime thing. Your family would have you hung up a big wind would come, blow you down, and then the family dog would drag you off and bury you or have you as a snack. I can definatly see your point on the cemetery thing. Beyond a couple generations of family or lets say 50 years after you die, how many people are going to care about your grave...most likely none. Its a sad truth, our society doesn't value the living let alone the dead.

I honestly would prefer cremation, at least my ashes would be sitting in a pretty pot for future generations of my family to stare at in horror wondering if some evil curse would be unleashed were they to open the top, rather than rotting at the bottom of the ground being food for worms, which I passionately hate. But a greater cause? If my remains were going to be used to scare a wider scale of people, I'm all for it, but if they wouldn't be receiving any recognition, I would have to stick with cremation. Then again . . . if I did get buried and some a**hole were to build their house on top of me, I would love to come back as a ghost and haunt them until they lost all sanity.

If you are squeemish about what happens to even the best-embalmed body once put into the ground or encased in a sarcophagus, you'd opt for cremation, even tho' the final treatment requires your long bones and pelvis be sent through a grinder.

Well for your info, even after we are dead, our soul hasn't been pulled out completely.
We can feel and see everything around us....its just that to the world we are dead. When we are being buried, our soul cries not to be left alone. Even water seems like a thousand swords being pierced so imagine what the souls of those people have to go through who are burnt!!
In the grave, we have to face severe hardships and we actually feel them too........until the day we are resurrected with all the souls that were ever created.

The world can do with my body whatever they please.
I think it'd be fun to stuff me and set me on the front lawn for Halloween.
I would be happy to act as a training target on a police shooting range.
I would be content as a mummy set on a car's passenger seat so that the owner could use the carpool lane.
I'd make an excellent doggie chew toy.

Nope take what parts that are still left to help someone out and just burn or what ever with the rest!
I agree why clutter up the landscape with bones that are going to turn to ash anyways!

I'd like to be cremated (after removing all useful organs, for donation) just to take the burden out of my family. I don't really care about my body after I die. I will "actually" not be there anymore.

DEAR ANOM' YOUR VERY IDEA STEMS FROM THE FACT OF RECYCLING THAT HAS BEEN DONE AND APPRECIATED ...BY THE ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD...BUT ALL THAT HAS BEEN RECYCLED WERE PRODUCT MADE BY HUMANS..NOT WHAT IS CREATED BY ALMIGHTY....THE NATURE HAS ITS OWN CLEANING PROCESS WHICH I AM SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF...BY SOUNDING LIKE A SAINT WHO WISHES HIS BODY TO BE OF SOME USE FOR A GOOD CAUSE...YOU DON'T BECOME A SAINT...THERE IS SO MUCH YOU CAN DONATE WHILE YOU ARE STILL ALIVE...EVEN YOUR VITAL ORGANS..FOR EXAMPLE YOU CAN DO WITH ONE KIDNEY..RIGHT... SO DONATE ONE...
HUMANS ARE THE HIGHEST CREATION OF ALMIGHTY AND DESERVE RESPECT EVEN AFTER THEY ARE DEAD....

I want to be cremated. The thought of worms all over my body gives me the shivers. But really, I won't care, because it's just my body, and it will be dead.
