Do you want to be cremated or buried?
I'll be dead. I won't care what anyone does with my body.
Hung upside down and dried, then cut into small pieces and sent to all churches for holy communion !

You could do that for me and I will bring the wine ?
@germangirl90439
Damn ! Forgot it was me who died. Jyst shows you how unconcerned I am about death ! We can still share the wine though ?
@germangirl90439
A goid S,A. Cabernet ?
@germangirl90439
You mean my ghost will not be welcome ?
I like the idea of being buried, because it's a place people go to remember you. But I'd only want it if it was like the old days, with just a box in the ground. But nowadays they pump you full of chemicals, and the coffins are treated with chemicals, and they put a big concrete vault around it. It's so unnatural now. The thing I would like the best is those things you can buy where they put your ashes in a container with a small tree sapling, and plant you somewhere. But since I don't know of any cemeteries around here that allow that, I guess I'll just have them put me out with the trash. But seriously--cremation, and they can do whatever they want with ashes. I won't care.
Direct cremated; no viewing, no embalming.
I think I'd like to be buried... Seems a nicer way to hang around and give your bits and pieces back to the carbon cycle.
I read this Thomas Hardy poem at my Mum's funeral:
Transformations
Portion of this yew
Is a man my grandsire knew,
Bosomed here at its foot:
This branch may be his wife,
A ruddy human life
Now turned to a green shoot.
These grasses must be made
Of her who often prayed,
Last century, for repose;
And the fair girl long ago
Whom I often tried to know
May be entering this rose.
So, they are not underground,
But as nerves and veins abound
In the growths of upper air,
And they feel the sun and rain,
And the energy again
That made them what they were.
