What are you wishes for your body after you die?

[PapaScout]

Where is the Bacon choice on the poll?

Seriously, I like the green idea. I have stored up a vast amount of energy in this body and I want to put it back into the cycle when I'm gone. Dump me in the ocean, leave me on a mountain for crows, or grind me up into free-range dingo chow.

We stood a Flagline for a VN Vet last week. He was Creamated. After the service with a Polie and Motorcycle Escort to his Homestead, his ashes were promptly loaded into a canon and fired across his pond. He went out with a bang!

 

[sepe]

Don't care. Also didn't believe that we were suppose to talk about wizards in the sky. But if the wizard is real, I hope he brings some unicorns from that fiction series about him if he returns.

two things: When, not if.

Where is the "Bacon-wrapped Viking Funeral Pyre" Option?

 

[Frosty]

Probably whatever my wife decides to do with me, but I think cremation then take a trip down to the smokeys in October and spread my ashes on clingmans dome would be cool, but she already said I was going to live with the nightcrawlers... I guess that's life, I've killed enough of them fishing, circle of life...

 

[RobbyMaQ]

whatever is cheapest

 

[Frosty]

Just spoke to the wife about it, she reminded me if its not Christ taking us, I'm going under the apple tree with rest of the family pets...

Any usable organ or tissue to be donated, remainder can go to IU School of Medicine if they want it. If not, cremate and dispose if I need to state a preference. I don't meet criteria for medical donation (too tall to fit in the drawers) so if they don't take my body, its whatever my family decides.

If there's anything usable, someone else can use it to extend/increase quality of life. If not, well, I'm done with it and I really don't care what happens, it's whatever my family feels they prefer. I'm not a very sentimental person so I don't request a marker, or symbolic ash deposition, or anything like that. I just want as much as possible to be recycled, and the rest can go back to the earth in one way or another.

My plan is to have my wife place my tired, body on an ice flow and set me adrift somewhere in the North Atlantic this should keep the predators away until post passing. After that, hopefully the fish can enjoy me as much as I've enjoyed them.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of cremation.

And then I want my ashes to go to a commercial reloader and a dash of me to go into a few thousand rounds of ammo. And then my friends get that ammo. And thusly, I'll be scattered where ever they pull triggers.

 

[hoosierdoc]

commercial reloader

why you gotta discriminate against us non-FFL holders

 

[jdmack79]

I don't care what they do with me. I'll be dead, so it's not like I will know one way or another. I want the cheapest option possible. There is no point in spending money on dead people. If my family decided to throw me in the river I would be fine with it.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

why you gotta discriminate against us non-FFL holders

Discrimination is perfectly fine for me as a private individual!

But I suppose, should we still be friends when I shuffle off this mortal coil, you could assume the liability of loading a few thousand rounds to give to other friends. heh

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

I was initially thinking viking funeral, but I like the cannon and shotshell ideas better. Why take up real estate in or above the ground after I'm a corpse?

 

[Wingcollector]

My wife tells me it's a leaf bag by the curb for me. I always get a little nervous around heavy trash pickup day...

 

[Mac-1917]

Science then cremated and shot out of the TDU (Trash Disposal Unit) on the USS Louisiana SSBN 743.

I want an officer wearing his best standing in a trash room the size of 4x6' giving a goofy speech.

 

[jkwparrott]

My step-father donated his body to U of L medical school, and I'm doing the same thing. He always joked that when he died he was going to college.

I work for the company that probably picks up your trash, just tell her to put a note on the bag stating it wasn't murder and your getting a very thorough tour of the transfer station
