Apr 07, 2015 2:50 AM GMTBuck naked. Throw me in a hole with no box and no clothes. I want to leave the same way I came in. Then plant a fruit tree on top of me. So my carbon gets recycled. -
Apr 07, 2015 3:25 AM GMTI may have lived in New York for the past quarter century but I'm really a Floridian. (Take that, New York Times!)
I plan to end up in Miami's underwater cemetery in Key Biscayne, Neptune Memorial Reef:

Building an ecosystem for the fishes my epitaph will probably read "If people take the trouble to visit they should at least have a good time."

Apr 07, 2015 3:42 AM GMTIf everything goes as planned...I would like to donate my body to science. Maybe my body can help find a cure for something...hopefully lol

Apr 07, 2015 3:43 AM GMTWhat a gift to mankind! -
Apr 07, 2015 3:42 PM GMTDonate to science and put the rest in a Veterans' Cemetery. -
Apr 08, 2015 11:30 AM GMTI don't care about what they do to my body but I want ABBA played at my funeral. -
Apr 08, 2015 4:59 PM GMTFunny that this shows up this week....
I was contacted by my ex wife that she wanted to get the "matching" cremation urns that we bought together when we thought "til death do we part" actually meant something.
Actually, she wanted me to pay for half of the set that her and her new husband wanted to buy, and i offered to just give her the set we bought.
Anyways... Cremation all the way. If whomever i'm with wants to keep some of the ash to get manufactured into a gemstone to wear, i'm ok with that... But the rest needs to be scattered at a place of personal importance. -
Apr 08, 2015 6:38 PM GMTno burial...
going to be cremated.
it's my last chance to have a smoking hot body!

Not alive. -
Apr 11, 2015 8:35 PM GMTCremation for me.
Some of my ashes I would like scattered at a nearby nature reserve, Gibraltar Point, because of my happy memories of the place as a boy.
The rest can go in a 'green' cemetery where I`d like a tree planted(hawthorn? beech?), and some woodland flowers added(violets, celandines, etc.) -
Apr 11, 2015 9:54 PM GMTCremation.
Unless my cause of death was fire related, because then I would find cremation a bit tasteless. -
Apr 11, 2015 9:58 PM GMTAt sea. -

Apr 12, 2015 6:56 AM GMTI told my kids to spare no expense.
When trash day rolls around, put me out at the curb in a genuine Hefty Cinch-Sak™. not some flimsy leaf bag. -
Apr 12, 2015 9:43 PM GMTSomeone once told me, "Don't die before you're dead." It doesn't really matter to me how I am buried, because I won't care after I am dead and I won't be staying dead no matter how I am buried. -
