Pfft. Cremated. Put the ashes in a large cube of water then freeze it. Get an ice sculpture to carve a statue of me in the ice while strippers dance at my feet.

There are a lot of death threads on this forum.
...
I want to be cremated and then launched into space and have my ashes collide with a large amount of antimatter.
That way, I'd be a friggn' sweet explosion after I die.

I'd like to be launched from some sort of air-craft high enough to catch on fire like a meteor and rip tghrough the sky as a human fireball.
Or
be burned and have my ashes thrown into the wind mostly because I love wind so much.

When Diogenes was asked how he wished to be buried, he left instructions to be thrown outside the city wall so wild animals could feast on his body. When asked if he minded this, he said, "Not at all, as long as you provide me with a stick to chase the creatures away!" When asked how he could use the stick since he would lack awareness, he replied "If I lack awareness, then why should I care what happens to me when I am dead?
That's why whenever I get asked this question I respond "Eh, just take my corpse out with trash."

Burried whithout a coffin, away from a cemetary. That way I become one with nature and what not.
Coincidentally, I want to be decapitated before burial to prevent this. And yes, I am being serious.JakubK666 said:
Ideally, I'd not want to leave a corpse. My ideal death is getting crushed by a killer whale dropped from 200 feet overhead. Or becoming dangerously attractive to metal near a shelf of swords. Y'know, something improbable.
And, on being buried, I'd have a tombstone with something like this [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.57048?page=5#475048] on it, and nearly all of my money in there with me... as well as about twenty claymores pointing out of the coffin and set to go if the coffin is opened. With at least one pointing at my body as well.
That way, I won't be brought back as a zombie, and no-one's going to loot my corpse. And even if they DO, they won't be around for very long, and the survivors won't get ANYTHING.
... I worry about my state of mind sometimes.
Cremation and then throw the ashes in the lake. The cheapest method is best for the people who survive. Besides, why would I care. I am already dead.
Oh and about that Rick Astley and You Spin Me Right Round thing above, I love both those songs so make sure to invite me and I will karaoke for your funeral. Should help with the insanity too, I sing terribly.

You know, I think if I had my choice of anything, I'd choose to be in that moment just after you've finished making love, when the only thing floating through your mind is a bit of happy serenity, and be vaporized without warning by a nuclear bomb going off five feet away.
Barring something like that happening to my body, though, I plan on being cremated as soon as possible after I die. I don't like the idea of being a "dead thing".
I don't relish the idea of being chopped into pieces and having a coroner tossing chunks of me on a steel table as he makes dispassionate comments about how much my heart weighs or the contents of my intestines, or being spray painted and stuffed in a box with my eyes and mouth sewn shut so everyone I knew can wander pass and stare at my corpse and make comments like "he looks so peaceful and dignified". I DEFINITELY don't like the idea of spending decades and centuries rotting in some vault in the ground so an archaeologist can dig up what's left of me a few centuries from now and roll my skull around in his hands and comment on how primitive dental work was when I lived.
Nope, it's cremation for me. If I get my way, it's going to be no autopsies, no undertakers, no wakes, and no funerals. I want to be dumped straight in the furnace, be burned to ash, and have the ashes scattered post haste, because there's something else I don't want to be: the residue filling a vase on someone's mantle. I'm sorry, but that's just creepy as all Hell.
"Look, I had my mommy burned to cinders and now I keep what's left of her body right here in front of the family portrait."
Ewwwwwwwww....
