When you die....

This ^ 100% This ^ !

 

None of those really cuz they all have cons..but I voted for cremation. When you're cremated though I guess not all of your remains get gathered and you might end up being mixed with someone else, right?

I am also a donor though so I suppose I'm going to be cut up and then burned (ouch..) Though I believe the soul leaves the body, so whatever, I guess. I've actually wondered, what if one of my organs actually ends up saving a life..but this person is a horrible person.

That would suck...and what if this person goes on and does something horrible. But then, I'm thinking, maybe that's not likely cuz hopefully someone who receives a needed organ has a grateful outlook on life after that.

So yeah, then my ashes...I'd like them scattered in a place I love. The mountains.

 

i lived i died it does not matter how my remaining's will end up

 

Upon shutting down my computer last night...
I had this thought that when I die, my body is going to make a ding noise like windows does when it shuts down, lol.

 

I believe there's a spiritual connection with objects and whatever, going through past, present, and future, and therefore I have a bit of an emotional attachment to my body. What we've been through together, all my experiences, how the world will go on without me and what happens with my remains throughout the ages, so I care about what happens to it after I die. I'm also not sure what happens after death, I believe none of us truly know so anything is a possibility, and as such if any of those things are true you'd have to deal with whatever it is for a while, or possibly eternity. There's the possibility of being a spirit, tied to your resting place, your body, where you lived in life, etc. So I think this is an important topic.

I'd want to be buried, not in a fancy casket or anything (a pine box would do), and not really in a graveyard/cemetary. I'd prefer a secluded spot, possibly in an old cemetary, out in nature somewhere. A peaceful location, with a nice view. And I wouldn't want to be embalmed or anything, in fact I'd want my body to be as intact as possible. Everything it had in life, I'd like it to have in death, including blood, organs, etc. As natural as possible, like most of my ancestors have died going back thousands of years. And with that, and a simple pine box, my body would just return to nature. Hopefully after that, my bones or at least my resting spot could stand the test of time, possibly becoming fossilized or lasting until the Earth gets absorbed by a red giant Sun or something.

I don't like most people, and I wouldn't want my organs going to someone I don't like. That's something you don't really have control over, and yes, I'd rather keep them to myself and not help people than risk letting some asshole get them, lol.

 

Since I don't believe that there is any soul or consciousness that survives beyond brain death, it doesn't matter much to me what becomes of my body after I die. Cremation seems the most efficient and quickest way to decompose and be returned to earth, though burial will do essentially the same thing after the worms and beetles are fed. I would just rather any money in my estate go to my kids instead of some funeral outfit. I don't want a funeral and I especially don't want my family to have to endure some dreary, meaningless religious mumbo jumbo ceremony. Not again. My youngest brother died 11 years ago and had converted to catholicism to marry his sweetheart, so when he passed away (he died of cancer at age 34) we all had to sit there listening to that fucking idiot priest blathering on about god and jebus. It was the coldest, most alienating and impersonal nonsense-filled goodbye I could ever have imagined. If I hadn't cared so much for my SIL I would have got up and walked out in the middle of it. They can have a party or wake or some kind of meaningful gathering.

I like the idea that the molecules I have borrowed for my lifetime will eventually belong to something or someone else. A rock, a tree, an animal, another human being. It doesn't really matter. It is in this sense that we are all connected and a part of the universe. When I die, what was once me, will simply become a different part of it all.

 

Cremated and I want my ashes put into one of those biodegradable urns that also has a tree seed in it. I'd rather leave behind a tree than a tombstone.

 

this is a nice thought and all, but what if the tree doesn't grow? a lot of seeds don't, after all, and a lot of trees die as saplings.

 

Harvest whatever you, the liver will be toast, I promise. after that just burn me, man...then put my ashes in the river...

 

it's more likely to be a slow gurgled breath..kind of like a light snore

and possibly a slow fart

 

I Have Never Viewed It That Way, Nice Post...



Cheers Glen.

 

Donate to science. Anything, really. Fed to the hungry, if it isn't harmful to them. Whatever. I will be dead anyway.

 

I want them to take out my brain, and put it in a computer.

 

...and I'm starting my morning by reading that post
lol.
Seems it might be a 'good post day.'

 

I voted 'I don't care.'

:2thumbsup:

 

Stuffed,put in the corner, leisure suit on, with OUTSIZE teeth in a big smile , a beer in one hand, a joint in the other,and a string out my ass when pulled my lower jaw flaps and a recorder says--"you got insurance,motherfucker three times in a row.

Donor here, then burned up, for real.

 

I want any usable organs that could help someone else donated and the rest of my body cremated and shoved in a niche somewhere. I don't believe in an afterlife and I don't expect to know that I'm actually dead. It doesn't really matter to me what happens to my body. I just want a minimum amount of hassle for those that have to deal with my corpse. :daisy:

 

I actualluy did die once: December 13th, 2009. was dead for 8 minutes. im not coming back again! ill see to that! I hope its soon. earth is a sanitarium in hell!! but creamated definitely! all the way!!

 

Cremated and my ashes scattered. I want a cardboard casket to be cremated in. Less waste.

 

I have this theory that when we die, our matter, what makes up our brain/thoughts/who we are, will eventually go back into "nature", giving us chances to become other things like plants, animals, and even humans again. So I want my body to be in the ground (not a casket) so that I can come back faster. So my option is cremated, and my ashes dumped somewhere.

weird but, THERE YOU GO!
