Burial/Cremation/Other

[Gooble]

Im sorry if this has been done before-just searched for it and found nothing.

Not a particularly happy thread, but what do you want done to your body once you've died. For me it would have to be artificially turned into a skeleton (i.e. using acid or something), put in a glass cabinet in a menacing pose, holding a +1 mace

Either that, or being buried in a coffin filled with caesium...if any archaeological dudes in a few hundred years think it's a good idea to dig my bones up, they've got another thing coming...

I have a phobia of Great White's, if I make it to old age I'm gonna shower in bbq sauce and jump right in with the bastards, way to face a fear huh?

I want an open-coffin funeral. A suitably serious and dour song starts playing, people start feeling depressed and down... then the Rickroll occurs. At that moment, my corpse is catapulted out of the coffin and through the air.

shoot myself into space, to bagpipes...

and have Kirk read the eulogy... sweet

I've always wanted a vikings funeral. Theres just something about being set off on a small burning boat into the sea that seems so much cooler than everything else.

 

[Mr_Cynical]

I want a full on Viking funeral!

Placed into a longboat, clutching a dirty great sword, surrounded by my favourite earthly possessions, pushed out to sea and then set on fire by a flaming arrow.

I can then spend the rest of eternity feasting, fighting, drinking and wenching with my ancestors. Valhalla rocks!

Buried where i fall.

 

[tiredinnuendo]

I want my ashes discreetly scattered into the buffet at the funeral reception without the guests knowledge.

That'd be quite inconvenient for the owners of the hospital. Especially if you're on the top floor.

I guess I will have to find somewhere better to die then.

Cremated. That way, I can have the funeral directors play "Through the Fire and Flames" by Dragonforce, followed by "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash.

 

[Raikone]

Give my body to science. That way my death might have not been in vain.

 

[Rolling Thunder]

I don't think theres going to be much left....

 

[Mairsil the Pretender]

Buried in Mud, soft peat, or some other preserving substance. Whatever puts you on the fast track to fossilhood. After all, what could be more permanent than becoming a fossil. Sometimes I worry that humanity's obsession with burying their remains in the ground, recovering corpses, and other stupid crap means that we arent going to leave much of a fossil record.

So, millions of years later, if enough people do this, the slaughtering rat people of planet earth (or the roach people, or the raven-people, or the squid-people, or the kvorch-people) will know that Homo Sapiens existed.

 

[L.B. Jeffries]

Cremated, and then have my ashes converted into jewelry. They will then grant whoever wears them my powers and all my wisdom. That, and make for a great story at parties.

Wow what is everyone on this fourum's obcession with death?
There has been an epitaph thread, a funeral music thread and now a "what do you want done with your corpse" thread you lot are very wierd aren't you?
Well since i'm here I may as well join the wierdness, I would like to have an open casket funeral where i'm completely starkers, my eyes jaws wired open in a look of horror and have my skin stained with blood, Why? well it'll go with my epitaph "Left this world the way he came into it naked screaming and covered in blood"
mind you having my ashes put in the food doesn't sound too bad either.

 

[ariamaki]

Cremated, with half the ashes stored in the head of my hiking staff, and the other half added to my local Esprit Decor (rotational portion of campfire ashes+record of where it has been used). In re: staff, transparent container would be nice, tacky light-paper lined transparent container run by D-cells would be epic.

I have a new hero, and his name is Blayze. Seriously.

Awesome man. I'd love the WoK funeral too, and you could have it in this: http://www.eternalimage.net/st_page.html
The casket looks great.

Personally though, I'd like a Darth Vader style funeral. My body cremated on a funeral Pyre. Just looks so epic.

I'll be giving my body to science. By then I'll have given my hand cells a plasmid (Yes they exsist, but only in bacteria. For now...) that creates chloroform that comes out of my pores. Maybe they'll be able to copy that.
