I'll go with cremation...

I plan on being cremated after l die. That will prevent archeologists from desecrating my body in the future. Make it impossible for them to display my naked bones on TV, and come up with stupid theories about how l lived and what l ate.

Well, I was going with cremation too until I read this. Now, I'm kinda excited thinking about archeologists putting their hands all over my naked bones...

I will have a proper burial.

i'll be put in the dirt 6ft under

I think I'll go with cremation. I kinda like the idea about dug up in a far future, and having some sort of second live, even if it's only in the minds of those who try to recover facts about your life and death. But with all the prostheses and the drugs/pollution that ends up in one's body over time, I think cremation is the best option for the environment. That is, assuming the incinerator has proper filters of course.

Will it noll, will it have proper filtration?

I want to be cremated aswell.

Without wishing to sound too philosophical, for me, once death has occurred, the 'animus' has left. Thus, cremation it is and I hope the ashes can be used, perhaps, as some sort of fertilizer - if there's not too much pollution in them !

I'd give my body up to science so they can finally get to the root of dat ass.

Composting corpses is now a thing, though not all constituencies allow it yet. So that's intriguing since it is closer, really, to being a "natural" approach.

Barring that, probably up in smoke, but that's not a sure thing.

I got excited, too, but then realized you said "bones" not "boner".🤪

A cemetary spot of ground is quite a bit more spacial territory than my cremated remains would require for the next several hundred years, until a developer comes along with enough money to pay off the appropriate powers that be, to buy the cemetary where my dessicated bones are buried inside an ornate over-priced fake wood box - so they can put in million dollar McMansion estate sized houses for sale.

Once cremated, my ashes and cinders can be added to the ballast alongside the railroad tracks near my childhood home, where I enjoyed roaming and playing as a youngster. They won't pollute anything that's not already quite polluted by diesel fuel spills, motor oil and grease, creosote, metal shavings, track-kill and assorted ICK.

I wanted a water cremation for awhile

Then I read about tree pod burials where you are put unto a capsule that takes awhile to breakdown and you essentially become a tree. A cemetary full of trees and not tombstones. Makes more sense.

There's also a company in Florida who will cremate you and mix the ashes into concrete structures that they put into the ocean to attract plants and animals like a reef. Im more of a land girl, but the idea is intriguing..

In all honesty I couldn't really care less what happens to me. I'll be dead I won't know. I hope that those i love, think of me from time to time

When my wife passed away last year we went with a company that takes the body and cremates it, and returns the ashes.

We then had a memorial in church that we'd carefully planned.

It was a lot cheaper and freed us from all the social expectations that come with a traditional funeral.

If only I was Dr. Death to help all of your dreams come true

It's real scary when that thing starts talking and singing to you. 😉

I have already purchased a cardboard box and I will be cooked to dust. Thereafter the remains will be dumped in the trash or sold to someone to fertilize their garden.
