your body after death

i asked almost everybody today what they want to happen with their body after they die. it's fascinating. what would you like to happen with your body?


I want my body to be buried completely naturally, no casket or box. i want nature to take absolute advantage from me after my organs are donated. my mom told me it is illegal in certain areas to be naturally buried. i found this absolutely absurd! shouldn't that be a natural way of nature? i tried searching the laws for california's law on this but couldnt find anything. help anybody?

even though your body may release "toxins" that contaminate our water supply, should we result to detox systems when we're older so we may be buried naturally or do these toxins just naturally exist, and if they do, how does it really compare to burying other animals?

i truly find this a troubling issue for some reason.

 

I want to be cremated and have a very very small amount of the ashes mixed in with a large amount of LSD, then distributed to the public. I want the rest of my ashes buried beneath a Coastal Redwood in northern California so I can feed and become part of one the largest living things on the planet.

 

I want my body to be nothing but ashes when I'm dead and gone.

I'd love to just burrrrrn. Plus, caskets and shit are to expensive these days.

 

I like the sounds of that

 

I'm going to get a sex change, then embalmed, then placed in a museum, dressed up like Miley Cyrus.

That should really fuck with my Great great grand nephew and nieces heads



But seriously, I want my body to be made into Soylent Green

 

This is a very interesting issue, and in my state (SC) there are at least a couple of these type "graveyards", burying one naturally, but usually in a homemade pine box, so to speak...There was an article in our paper regarding this say not quite a year ago.

Right now I am reading a book titled "Life After Life" by Dr. Raymond Moody...somehow it fits right in with this (in my own twisted way - lol).

 

Ash's To Ash's.......Dust To Dust.......

There are no embalming laws in California, so you could be buried as you wish to.

I will be cremated and my ashes will be buried.

 

i want my friends to catch my body on fire then throw me off a cliff and leave me.

then drink lots of alcohol and smoke lots of blunts

 

i'm from SC too and to my knowledge we're one of the few states in the country that allows natural burials.

I want to donate my body to science. I was inspired to do this by the Body Exhibit..if anyone ever has a chance to see this, i strongly recommend it.

 

Do We Have To Wait Till You're Dead.....:coffee:

You don't want to make a complete ash out of yourself do you?

 

You could donate your body to a body farm...decompose right out there in the elements...

Donate any of my organs that I have'nt completely fucked up, then the rest of me can be buried in the traditional manner, or dumped on the side of the road for all I care.

 

I guess that's really up to any future children. I'd prefer my organs be donated, unless I'm too old. Also, I am fine with being buried if it helps the economy of a place in need. I'm also fine with cremation. At that point, I feel the decision is that of my loved ones. I'm not going to be around to be bothered.

 

I'll probably end up buried, that has been my family's tradition.

 

I don't want to be cremated, never have done.

There is somewhere in America where they were doing a study of the rates of decomposition - one body left out in the open, one in a bin etc - they always need volunteers for things like that!! Not that I would opt for this.

 

I am opting for cremation as it is the cheapest, and no funeral. Why waste money and time on such public displays of emotion? I also asked that at a later date if everyone so desires, have a nice gathering of my friends, lots of muscians can jam and pass the pipe, drink one for me and just celebrate life....;-)

 

Yeah, I'd rather not have a funeral. Something in its place would be better for me.

 

Cremation. Can't stand the idea of being buried for eternity. I've made this very well known to all my family, because a friend passed away and was buried in a casket, and she had made it very clear to me that she wanted to be cremated, but not her family. Her family made the funeral plans, so she was buried. It still kinda bothers me that they didn't know, but when I do die, I want part of my ashes spread out on her grave, and the rest of them can be divided up amongst my surviving loved ones to do as they wish. My boyfriend, however, has told me he wants to be exploded into vapor so that everyone can breathe him in. Haha.
