I know this is a very strange question.
But sooner or later some of you are going to be in one of these forever.
I'm donating my body to science.

You do know that accidents happen all the time, by waiting till later, someone else may have to choose the casket for you, I hope your someone doesn't have a strange sense of humor.

A coffin is a HUGE waste of money.... they put you in the ground in SUPPOSEDLY an air-tight coffin and voila--you still end up a box of dust... I too am a cadaver donor... Card Carrying too...(a special card that I received from my local TEACHING HOSPITAL...who gets my body IF I die within 150 miles of this particular hospital... If I am further away, it goes to the nearest teaching hospital.. I think EVERYONE shold consider organ donation OR cadaver donation... your DEATH could save someone ELSE's life!!!!

For some reason,yes siense a year or two and I will like my body to be helpfull for the siense,because my belive is that when you died your soul leaves your body that was just an container for your soul and spirit.I know it would be much painfull for my fam,but if that is going to save some day some lives hey great good for you that you are thinking about others even when you will be gone.Im proud of your desittion ,even do It was nice to have my father's body present on his funeral,now i just realise he was gone from his body but never from my heart.You still alive in my heart papa.I miss u.

Yep... how to CLEAN them! I was asked to quote on doing the cleaning for a funeral home. Didn't get the contract.
As for USING one... nope... don't expect to.... just donate what's left to a medical school, use what can be used, and burn the rest when you're done with me. I learned some years ago, that our medical schools go "wanting" for "cadavers" for their students to learn from. "Models" are never as good as the real thing. So, if I can help train a physician, then help to heal others, well.. that's just great!
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

I opt for later. Much later. And no, caskets and coffins
are of little interest to me at this stage.

I have, my parent's picked out their own and planned their own funeral before death and asked me to go with them.
That's wonderful your donating your body to science!

I've thought of it, and I don't want to be buried in a box forever. I want to be cremated and have my ashes thrown into the ocean.

Me in a coffin never. I want a cardboard box, some lighter fluid and a match please. I don't want to be consumed by worms.
