What do you want to happen with your body when you die?

[Wintermute]

Ideally I'd like to have my dead body taken to a taxidermist so my family can continue to take me on vacations/photos/etc.

Scattered... not cremated, just scattered.

Like a morbid Easter egg hunt.

Wrap me in bin liner and plonk me in the rubbish bin.

You know what? I think it would be best if lots of people signed up for their ashes to be turned into diamonds and jewelry. My mom told me she was looking into that, so that I would be able to have some financial security if I ever needed it.

Isn't that more expensive that just buying the diamonds or giving you the money instead?

During the Quarantine, I've been helping a few people put together end of life plans. These cover the basic things you would expect, like planning for end of life care as well as wills and funeral arrangements. And it's got me thinking: How many people have considered what they want for themselves when they die?

Personally, I want my body donated to medicine if possible, and if not, I would like a natural burial. Something that ensures me body breaks down rapidly.

I agree with this. You want to make sure you , and your family secure a legitimate medical school to donate your body to and not some shady service. This is best done in advance as you only have a short time to secure an actual pick up to be able to save organs to save someone else's life. We donated my father's body to UT Southwestern, they will make sure they get any organs donated that use the the proper sources and not the black market. They then send your ashes of what other remains you have to the designated family member.

I honestly won't care, I'll be dead.

Whatever happens with my body though, I hope it inconveniences a bunch of people out of spite.

Artificial diamonds aren't very valuable, so if it's for "financial security" you'll actually be paying more for the process than what the diamond will be worth.

If you just want it as a memento of your mom that you can carry with you, go for it. If you want to be able to sell your mom's body as a diamond then you really shouldn't bother.

Huh, I'd never heard of 'sky burials' until you replied and the first thought that came to mind was a rather macabre 'corpse skydive'.

But no, I was quoting a British satirist with that line.

The vultures tend to do a good job at scattering the bones though .

It is the " natural" solution.

 

[Drathnoxis]

You would just to spite all of us that want you dead, wouldn't you?

Of course! I wouldn't be doing something like that just for myself. Nothing's worth doing if it can't be used to spite your enemies!

It's my intention to live forever.

So the Oliver Cromwell route?
What if a republican ends up buying your flesh puppet?

 

[Elvis Starburst]

I want any organs that are still good to be donated, and the rest to be cremated. Then I want my ashes to be scattered on a really high hill top under a perfectly clear night sky. If the cremation could somehow happen on said hilltop all Darth Vader style in Return of the Jedi, then that'd be neat. If not, I can accept the scattering as a more realistic alternative

Zombie apocalypse, cause I ain't putting up with that shit. I will crawl my way out of hell, dragging every demon I can to become my army of the dammed.

I have a few family members who are doctors, so I'm going to donate it to one of their schools (I have the school picked out)

That was why my family picked UT

Hoping to get a funny tattoo before I die. Maybe a QR code on my butt or something like that.
