My poem is adopted and modified from one of my favorite writers:
Sheakearsepeare
To return to dust/ashes, or not : that is your question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The grave and buried casket under 6feet of earth,
Or to take arms against the furnace ,
And by opposing end this body? TO DIE, TO SLEEP;
NO MORE: AND BY A SLEEP WE SAY WE END
The HEART-ACHE AND THE THOUSAND NATURAL SHOCKS
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consumation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep :
To sleep per chance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.-- Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.
William Shakespeare and me

I'd rather donate my organs n stuff... but be buried!! As if it matters if worms are crawling in and out of your body when your dead..... your body isn't you its just a mode of transportation...so i dont think it would matter. And being burnt reminds me of hell or something so no.
I think that i would never see
A poem as lovely as a tree.
my favourite poem.

I'd want to be burned to ashes and have my ashes sprinkled out into the ocean.
When I pass I willl miss you so,
Ill will cherish the game monopoly when I pass Go,
All I won was a dollar or a buck,
But now I have gone and run out of luck.
You'll always be in my heart so very deep,
I hope its my heart that you will keep,
When you see my memorial, just passing by,
I'll be a hug away from Heaven in the sky.

My grandmother was cremated. I guess she had a good point. The thought of worms all over her makes me want to barf. Now that I think about it I'd rather be cremated. Worms are scary.

I would rather be burned... but keep my organs, usually when they burn someone, they leave the organs in so the body doesnt look flat and empty...

Cremation is the answer for me
Oh Dear
Bread and Beer
I got married and
I'm still here (dead, that is) OR
Oh Dear
Bread and Beer
If I was married
I wouldn't be here (yet)
