Closed casket with all functioning organs donated to those in need.
If I can help someone even after I die, that's all that matters.

I doubt that this is going to happen seeing as I'm registered as an organ donor and there's probably laws and the like against it...
...but I would really like my body put on a boat with some flowers and a couple trinkets that were important to me, then pushed out to sea and set on fire with flaming arrows.

im reminded of what Diogenes of Sinope said When 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?"
so basicly i dont really care,bbbbuuttttttt if i had to chose i vikeing funreal would be pretty kickass!

Roast my ass and throw ashes somewhere. I don't see any point in a ceremony for me, I die, they throw the legal papers together, my body gets roasted and the ashes go out the door with the rest of the trash, the end.
I'll either be cremated and shot into space or turned into a synthetic diamond imitation. Yes there are actually commercial places that offer specifically those options. of course this is ideally what I want, those places are outrageously expensive and probably make there income entirely off of paris hilton's pets.
I want to be put out to sea. I love the ocean, and the relaxing sound of the waves will ease my travel into the afterlife.
Assuming there is one. If not, at least I'll probably scar some child in Europe or South America.

So instead of waking up in a coffin, you wake up in a fiery, fiery coffin? Yeah, the death would be quicker, but it would probably be much more painful hahaHazy992 said:
Why not get them to install a bell by your gravestone with a string that runs down into your coffin - should you find yourself buried alive, you can ring the bell and someone will come save you OT: Donate all my usable organs then use the rest of my body as plant food for a sapling that's planted at the funeral. Unless trees have become extinct by then. Better make it a space tree.
Donate organs if possible, give the rest TO SCIENCE! If/when my body is returned to friends and family, viking funeral. Obviously if resurrection is possible, or my brain can be suspended or whatever I shall go with that approach.
Stuffed and locked into a pose.
Preferably one of me fighting a sabertoothed bear with a lightsaber. (Both the bear and I have lightsabers in this situation.)

I would donate my vital organs.
What ever remains can be cremated with the ashes spread into a river.

Organs: Donated, if at all possible
The rest of me: I want to be buried. Open or closed, it makes no difference to me.

I want a freaking Viking Burial.
Build a boat, set my body on it, set it out to sea, and then hit it with burning arrows.
Though, I would like some of my vital organs to be donated to science beforehand--and maybe leave some form of a marker from when I was shoved off into the waters.
