Cremation and placement in a columbarium is a good option. Less expensive than burial, and there is a physical marker and place for loved ones to visit if they want. We have some family in one.

Findagrave is a great app/site for researching your family tree. (PC version shows more info than phone app.) They log cemeteries and often link to the deceased”s relatives. I found relatives that I didn’t know anything about. If ashes are scattered, with no physical marker, the deceased is out of that system and can be somewhat lost to history.

I want to be stuffed with my valuables and my funeral guests beat the shite out of me like a piñata, then fight each other for said valuables

I've told my wife to have me taxidermied and put me on the couch. They can make my hand set as a cup holder and put the remote control in my shirt pocket.

I’m thinking of giving my body to Georgetown University Medical Center and being a medical cadaver. All depends on what I die of as to whether I will qualify. If I qualify, I want to be called Abra Cadaver.



I have signed the paperwork to donate my body to science or medical training or whatever. When that's done, I wanted my ashes spread at Tiger Stadium, but learned that thery forbid that now. So I have asked that I be cremated and my ashes dumped off the Mississippi River bridge. Sorry for the traffic snarl.

I’m old school so the grave option was the default and even have a small family land cemetery for it, although no one’s been buried there for a century. Cremation and scattering or the newest thing which is putting the ashes in many various forms.

I’ve never been much of a “showy” person, pretty low key actually. I’d be satisfied with a relatively small Viking funeral.

I just want to be chunked in the dirt from whence I came. Don't give a shite about a casket or any other government imposed regulations on my disposal(The funeral industry is a racket).

Give me a ceremony, let my folks remember me as the husband/son/father I was, and let the worms have the rest. Would love to be buried on a piece of ground that I owned in life. Out of the way with a simple marker.

Hopefully thrown off the Mississippi river bridge at 5 pm so all the Baton Rouge traffic can watch :)

Cremate me.

I do not want anyone paying the kind of money it takes now days to bury me.

Stuffed and placed in my recliner. I will have a look of disdain on my face so future generations will know how disappointed I am in them.

Viking funeral push me out on a wooden boat and burn it.

If that's not legal I'm sorta into the idea of one of those pod burial things where you are wrapped in natural fiber and a tree is planted above you so that as your body breaks down the nutrients feed the tree.
