Buried or cremated?

Just curious what the general consensus is here. Personally I want to be cremated and have my ashes thrown in a river or spread on the Appalachian Trail. I visited my dad’s gravesite with my sister a few weeks ago and had this conversation with her. If it’s up to her or my mom I don’t think my wish will be followed through.

Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:
Please don't bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size
Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get "em" out of here
Venus de Milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to Rose
Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my arse goodbye

When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want them bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my arse.

Viking funeral

I want a mausoleum fwiw.

Did you know Viking funerals consisted of the sacrifice of a slave girl? Ran across that tidbit reading something this week. Had never heard that before.

I’ll be dead. They can do whatever f they want with me. It’s not like I’m going to notice.

Agree with Viking funeral or cremated. Spread my ashes over a mountain top in Idaho and a little bit left saved to put back in Louisiana.
I think putting people in the ground is such a waste of space and most of us wont have anyone that cares about us in a 100 years.

My personal choice is cremation. I think it would be sad for the remnants of the last iteration of my corporal body to be locked away in a casket and vault being separated from the rest of the Earth for decades if not centuries. I prefer the idea of returning back to the Earth and letting all my component atoms become life again.

I want to donate my body to science but my wife pitched a fit. Assuming she survives me, I guess she'll make whatever arrangements she wants.

A sky burial.

If you get cremated ,besides making a cypress casket,the Monks at St Joseph Abbey make a cypress urn.

Just throw my dead cold body in the Mississippi River.
My dad's ashes are in an urn in a tomb. Mom is dying as I type this and they will do the same with her.
Don't much see the point of burying ashes.

Cremate me, spread me on a piece of toast and eat me so i can tear that arse up one last time on the way out.

I want some of mine scattered in my favorite sac a lait spot,some in Whiskey Pass,Last Island.
Then they can mix the rest with some corn and throw it to my chickens to scratch.
I know my son is not going to snort me like Keith Richards did with his Dad.
