Think about it carefully, and then make your decision, when you die, would you rather be cremated or buried? And for what reasons? I know it seems like a touchy subject to some, but when it comes down to it the choice is there. I'd rather be buried. I just don't like the idea of me being in ashes.... |

I think I'd rather be cremated. I hate the thought of being buried. I don't want to be six feet under! Aggh! |

Cremated.. I have a phobia of being buried alive.. I don't much fancy being burned alive either but, meh. |

CREMATED! OMG! I hate being burned...ANYWHERE! It scares me...I think it might be a phobia...I'd rather freeze to death! :( ;_; |

^Good luck with that, you can be like another Queen Elizabeth the II! I don't really think cremation would be fun, but neither would be being buried. And your family wouldn't see you as often, unless they scattered the ashes. I think I wanna be cremated, but I'm not sure I wanna be spread... I try not to think about it. But yesterday I was reading a magazine article about organ donors, and I'd like to do something like that before they scorch my body. |

I want to be buried with my Queen CD's. I'm afraid if I got cremated, they might build something over where they spread my ashes. Like ten years after I die, there could be like a public restroom or a parking lot or even worse..a school. |
| beautifulsoup 16.10.2006 17:52 |
I want all donatable (is that a word?) organs to be donated, and then I want to be cremated. It saves space on Earth! Or rather, in Earth. |

I'll be the one in the bandages (and several fancy boxes) at the centre of the pyramid. I don't need the organs in the little jars, so we'll just have the little jars for display - people in need can have the actual organs. I know those little jars have names, but I've plum forgotten them right now. |
| deleted user 16.10.2006 18:41 |
! They're "canopic jars" ! I remembered ! :D While an urn holds ashes - a canopic jar would hold different organs (extracted from the dead body - intestines, even the brain - which was taken out of the nose with a pick-like instrument). Depending on the organ in the jar, the decoration would be different. |

For those with a fear of being 'buried alive', don't worry. You only stay conscious for something like 40 minutes before running out of air. I honestly don't know what I'd prefer... I used to care about my burial, and I used to think there was an afterlife, but I've had such a cynical year, basically I just think 'fuck it', when it comes to death. I've got a life to think about, eh! I'm going to make it very clear to those who run my funeral; don't bother showing people my body unless I'm going to look alive. I don't want to be seen if I'm... corpse-like. |
| deleted user 17.10.2006 02:47 |
I'd rather be burned because I don't like the idea of rotting in the ground, that and I may be afraid of fire at the moment, but I like the idea of being burned then being thrown over the land and going to the elements.... Wind, Earth, Fire, Water... Was there another one in there somewhere? |

Doesn't really bother me either way, no matter what I'll go onto my afterlife. But I think that I'd like to be cremated maybe, and force my relatives to keep my ashes in their house on display so i'm never forgotten, haha. I sooo don't wanna be forgotten. |

Cremation. Your body will eventually turn into ashes; I'll give Mother Nature a jump start. |

I'm claustrophobic. I don't want to be buried. >< Just the thought makes me take deep breaths. But then again, I don't like being in extreme heat either. Even if I'm a stiff. I think I'd like to be left out in the fresh air… Or be put in a compost bin and turned into soil…. Grandkid: This soil works really good, Mommie! Future daughter: Yes. That's because it was once your Grandma. Grandkid. O.o Mommie… I'm scared. And he/she never gardens again. |

Um, you'll be dead, you won't feel a thing. After your brain dies you are officially dead. |
| banjokingbenice 17.10.2006 16:21 |
I don't really care if I'm going to be dead (not burned or buried alive). I think I'd rather be buried so that my remains can go back to the earth. I like the idea of being buried in woodland or on a hill. Not in a cemetary. |
| blerp 17.10.2006 16:57 |
I want to be set in an urn with a picture of me on the front of it. Like this: link BUT JUST THE URN |
| magicalfreddiemercury 17.10.2006 17:46 |
Cremated. No question. I don't want some strangers in an embalming room to undress my dead body, then 'shave' and wash it with disinfecting solutions. I don't want them draining the fluids from my then naked and shaved dead body, only to pump it full of formaldehyde. And I sure as hell don't want some strangers re-dressing, applying makeup or styling hair on said body. Oh. My. God. Just burn me please, and get it over with. <shudder> |

Hm..this is an interesting topic. I'd have to say I'd want to be cremated. I'd want to actually have a funeral where people could see my body before hand, and I'd want to donate all of my organs that could go (what the heck do you need them for after you die?) and then I'd want to be cremated. Don't scatter the ashes though...and preferably don't keep me in a living room or something for someone to knock over. Bury the urn in a nice cemetary when it's done. I never liked the ideas of bugs eating you all up, and besides, I'm not scared of fire. You are dead anyway. Honestly, I'm more scared of going comatose and staying like that for a long time before death on life support. If that ever happens...please someone pull the plug! None of this Terri Schiavo crap. |

I actually don't know. I know my mum wouldn't like me to be cremated, but then again - rotting isn't nice... And talking about donating organs (as someone did), I once again don't know. And again, my mum is "against" it, even though her cousin got a new pair of lungs some years ago. She's a nurse, and knows how badly organs are needed, but she sees organ transplations as "draw out the pain". (If that's the way of saying it...) I've thought this over and over, but can't come to an end. |

As i said i'm not sure between buried/cremated..not bothered really, it's up to my family.
