Buried or Cremated???

Recommended Posts

I figure that I might as well be compost instead of taking up space and having to pay for it as well. Also forests are way more beautiful than any cemetery I've been to. Doubt it would happen though as I'm sure they have laws about where bodies can be buried. :D



There is now a composting process. I've posted this link before, but this is where I learned about it. The book is called Stiffs: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, but it should probably be called 101 Things to Do With a Dead Body.

Cremated.

For those say they want to donate their organs be sure your family knows about that. The longer you stay on life support, the more the organs waste away. In order to get viable organs, they need to be taken ASAP. You might want to make sure this is stated in a Living Will. Mine states that if two doctors come to my family and tell them I'm brain dead, take the organs and pull the plug.
May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey

organ donation for sure, if anyone can use this old used up body of mine.

but not cremated, burried behind my wife's family church. it's an important tradition for us to visit the graves of our descendents and pray. i want that continued w/ my kids and their kids too.

no ash dive for me.

Well hello there, you seem to be the first "buried" preferred person. That sounds too....ryhming or something but good for you to have that mental commitment with your family. You mind if some of us decide to party for ya instead???????? ---forbid this should happen. Cheers........

Harvest everything they can, then cremate me. Rather than a big production of an ash dive, I'm more inclined to let several people take what they want of me and do their own thing ... whatever has meaning to them as a way to remember me. If one of those things is an ash dive, cool.

And yes, my family knows what I want. :)

hey, here's an idea, instead of taking me on an ash dive, since I don't want to be cremated, who will take my dead body on a tandem? :)
Or better yet, strap my rig on me and do a Vigil test drop. If it doesn't work, well, no harm done, right? :)
My friends could turn points off a dead man... like weekend at bernie's in freefall.

I'd like to be buried in one of those green cemeteries, so that I can rot and return to earth as was meant to be. Won't take up space for long, but the earthworms will be lovin' me.

you know they make those nifty little necklaces that your friends/loved ones can put some of your remains in. You'll go where they go. I think that's special... :S
