When you die do you want to be buried, cremated, or other?

Question

I don't think that I want to be stuffed into the ground so being buried isn't going to work & then the thought of my body being burned into ashes is rather unsettling for me not to mention that I can't imagine who would do what with my ashes. I personally would like to be put into a mausoleum, in a nice pearl white casket with soft pink satin lining & silver accents.

Answer 1

Just set me up next to a tree with sunglasses on and the scriptures in my lap. Good enough for me. lol

Answer 2

Cremated for sure! It's less costly than a cushy coffin. Why does a corpse need satin and a pillow?The soul aint in there anymore! I don't need a fancy urn like the ones they sell at the funeral homes. Did you know they have an urn closet where you can bargain shop? The plain coffee can model goes for a whopping $100! And at the funeral parlors, you have a lovely selection of caskets..,.and a rack of clothes in which you may purchase. I'm gonna be cremated for a number of reasons besides cost. 2nd: my mom would surely have the last word on my attire (something fuschia and lacy and flowery with puffy sleeves, I'm sure!) 3rd: No ones gonna master the way I "poof my hair". 3rd: I've noticed all bodies seem to face the same way..(Well, that's my bad side). So, cremation is the choice for me.

Answer 3

My grandfather decided to be cremated, but the only problem now is that my grandmother isn't sure what to do with his ashes. As he only passed away a few months ago, she has kept the ashes with the funeral director, but our problem is deciding a place where he would want to be forever.
I would like to warn people that if you do decide to be cremated, make sure that your family and loved ones are okay with your decision. Explain to them why you want to be cremated and assure them that its what you want. My grandfather had seen so many of his friends die and buried during the war, he didn't want to be like them. So he chose cremation, but its a difficult thing to not have one last opportunity to say goodbye, like at a funeral, or not have a proper funeral mass, just a memorial (which is different in many respects)

Answer 4

i'm questioning buried. I said some episodes of a few shows the position the fellow wanted to be cremated yet they wound up getting used for something else. i pick to be particular that i comprehend the position i go.

Answer 5

I'm going to be cremated. Cemeteries take up a lot of space that could otherwise be put to more valuable use. In many areas of the world they have to dig up old bodies just to make room for the new ones. Clearly, burial is not the most practical option.

Besides, who wants to be eaten and shat out by worms? Not my thing.

Answer 6

Cremation.
Then throw my urn into the SF bay.
Do not open the urn and let the wind blow them b/c I saw a movie where the ashes blew all over the people throwing them LOL.

Answer 7

Personally, I don't intend to die. But should some accident occur, I'll go with cremation. It's cheap, clean, simple, and there's no skeleton left for some archaeologist to paw around in a thousand years.

Answer 8

Cremated.

Answer 9

Cremated.

Answer 10

cremated. The earth is getting a little stuffed with dead bodies. And really, what will I need it for? If I care, we have a while different set of problems.

Answer 11

I literally would prefer to be tossed into the ocean where are the creatures can have a good lunch. I don't believe that is legal though. Kind of silly in my opinion, it is definitely a more useful way to dispose of my carcass than burning or burying it.
