Me too, but I'm pretty sure they gut you and give back what is left to the next of kin.

On a slab at medical school. Then I will feel like I've urned my rest.

Put me in a Maytag box and take me to the landfill.

I like it at the beach. Right across from my house.

So the game plan is I get toasted up, as cheaply as possible - ya know, no point in spending extra money then my ashes thrown into the shore break during an offshore wind. Strick instructions! It must be an offshore wind I don't want to get blown across the road into someone's backyard and be urinated on for eternity.

Cremation followed by spreading my ashes over my pet cemetery. Only, wait until winter, so you won't get ticks.

Put me in a Native American canoe with cedar boughs and a twist of tobacco and push me out to the spirit world like Johnny Depp in Dead Man!

At a local dragstrip last year there was some commotion/gathering at the starting line, announcer said a few final words, dragster launched down the strip, popped the chute and out came the ashes into the wind.

Thought it was a pretty cool final run.

Fate is the Hunter.

None of us know. We do eventually turn to dust. Some of us real quick with cremation and some of us take longer. Kind of a bummer that we can't keep it going.

I figure in 30 years, deepfake and AI will easily make up for my departure.

My X-Wife died of a brain tumor about a year back. Someone has taken her FB account and periodically uploads new pics of her (well, new to us... not "new") and I must say, it's nice to see them. Whoever has access spends much time there, so her little green "online" icon is active. Even knowing limitations of a simple little green dot, it's somehow reassuring to see it.

Can't believe someone hasn't posted this yet- "fly me to the moon"

I'm an organ donar but probably too old. My organs have probably passed their expiration dates. Cheap cremation for me, then my wife will dump my ahes from a plane over Lake Basin in the Sierras. She says she might keep them and contract to have both of ours dumped there.

I told my wife to have me cremated and put the ashes in the ashtray of the Porsche so I can still ride along.

To me the body is just a shell. It is an Earth suit to carry around my soul and spirit. Once I'm gone there is no value to it.

I plan on having a traditional funeral like you see on TV with people dressed in black, in the rain, buried on some grassy hill in the winter.

But there's likely to be some sort of glitch and my enemies will line up to stab my corpse and spit on me like Mussolini.

I have two requests:

1) I want my remains scattered at Snowbird Ski Resort
2) I don’t want to be cremated

Should make for an interesting spring thaw
