So I discussed rotting (decomposition) with my babies today and naturally the topic turned to rotting people. I love these kids

What's the plan for your body once you cease using it?

I'm thinking standard old boring burial.

Do with me as you NEED!

What I mean is...I am an organ donor. Take EVERYTHING...EVERYTHING viable and useful and spread it about for those who are in need. If I am left with just rotting marrow (or something to that effect)...burn me up and send the ashes to the winds of the day. If it ain't windy and I end up at your feet...RUN! LOL...Just kidding! If that happens...walk away and smile fore I am happy to land in a place you chose for me!

Strangely enough I have already discussed this with my kids and they know exactly where to scatter my ashes after the cremation. After seeing the acrimony tending a grave can cause in several families I was determined that there would be no reason for my kids to fall out on my account after I've gone.

I've also donated everything to medical science and/or organ donation.

I've read that the most environmentally friendly way to rid oneself of any remains would be to bury the body under a tree in a cardboard box. If I can do that & it is the most environmentally-friendly way, I'll go that route.

organ donor. the rest can get cast to the four winds. except my scull, i have someone who wants to keep it...alas poor wyndhy, i knew her well.

Well, after big ass New Orleans style send off I expect my kin to throw, just plant me in the ground and call it a day.

Besides, it's only my body...I won't be there anyway.

I aint goin'

Donate what's usable, then bury me. We've got the lots and vaults ... just need the casket to complete the physical preps.

I'm surprised by the number of cremation responses... Donor and Burial here.

Organ donor here too. After that, I think cremation....although if Mr Osuche felt strongly I'd do whatever he needed.

Funerals and burials are for the living, and not the dead IMHO.

Slash and flash.

My brother is in a "hole in the wall" a long way from family, rarely visited and a source of discomfort for my father.

Drop the ashes from a DC3 or Catalina, just to see if I'll still scream as I drop.

Damn this experimental phase I'm locked in.

I'm really torn between burial and cremation. I don't know what the plans are. Maybe nobody will discover the body for a long time and the cats will have taken care of it.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

I will also donate anything anyone wants to use. I like the cardboard box idea because it's cheap and I don't believe in having my loved ones spend their money to put me in the ground.
