I think most of my organs will be donated. I'd want my body to be disposed in the most eco friendly manner possible.
I think it would be nice to be buried under a tree in a biodegradable coffin or something like that. I haven't really given it much thought to be honest.
I'd rather not have a funeral and I certainly don't want anyone attending it... well other than the people who need to be around to bury me!
I really should think of writing it all out in a will or something but at my age, it's a thought that is too far off in the future.

I forgot about the women being barred from funeral stuff in Islam... but anyway yeh, what Q-Man said. I'm just referring to quick, efficient and effective method of body disposal.

I want my corpse to be launched off orbit:

A corpse in outer space will not decompose, at least not as fast as on Earth. No bacteria, no flies, no other insects, ice cold... but no one to watch

Temperature and flight trajectory should be remotely controlled from earth to ensure the body in the space capsule is comfortable and does not crash into any flying matter...

Meh, the Pharaohs had a good idea with the mummy and pyramids , with all your treasures pets and was it also your women buried with ya?? Not sure about the women thing.

Did you know that Aboriginals have a tradition not to depict dead people or voice their (first) names. Traditional law across Australia said that a dead person's name could not be said because you would recall and disturb their spirit. After the invasion this law was adapted to images as well.

Ive been thinking about this recently. I would like to donate some of my organs to science so that my body can be of use to someone after my death. I think I want to be cremated. I don't want to be buried in a lie... I dont want to be buried as who I am not. No muslim ceremony at my death. I want my ashes to be buried under a young tree that gives some kind of fruit. Maybe thats what my grave site should be.. no grave but a tree. Something that lives in a place surrounded by death.

I already know which 2 songs I want played at my funeral too.

I want my body to be donate to science/saving lives. Anything left can be thrown in a ditch. Whatever is cheapest for the people who have to put up with my inconvenient carcass.

If some sort of memorial must be made, at least play this song at it:

For those who don't understand the French, the chorus translates to

"To everyone
To all my friends
I love you
I must go"

organ donation for sure..
i wanted to be cremated once, but have since changed my mind.. i'm gonna take Neil Tyson deGrasse advice

""i would request that my body, in death, be buried, not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as i have dined upon flora and fauna throughout my life.""

i hate thinking about death, not because i'll be gone, but i can't leave the kids yet.. not yet..

I don't like to think about death cause it makes me realize I'd probably prefer to be dead.

Music, booze and food for all those celebrating; my body tossed into a pit full of leaf mould (no coffin); a tree planted above.

If I die in Japan I'll be burned. No problem. I'll be dead. I doubt the flames of crematorium or hell will bother me too much.

Right now I have no say on my funeral, meaning if I died in the near future, I will most certainly have an Islamic funeral. But if I lived to be old, having time to safely reveal my irreligiousity to my family, my friends and my social network in general, I would opt for cremation.

Not really bothered either way, would be nice to be buried in the family cemetry in my ancestral village, with my grave stone showing me bieng open irreligious for future generations to heed my example but thats a far shot. whoever cares for me the most would probably decide what they prefer then, cremation, donation to science or turned in to a memorial diamond, pit in ground. I'm fine with any.

If I had to choose i'd say harvest organs for those who need them then be buried.

I'd like my organs to be donated if they're any use and then cremated. I really couldn't care less. OR I'd do that thing where your ashes are put in a pot and then a TREE grows out of it. Or something.

I'm going to find where night is blackest.
