Discussion burial or cremation?

[huntermellow]

which one do you guys prefer? i'm known to follow the crowd and am often unable to make a decision myself unless i get other peoples input

Cremation for me. I'm claustrophobic, so the thought of being buried under the ground in a box is horrifying.

yeah that makes sense. even tho you'll be dead and won't be aware of it the thought can still be scary. tho i want to be cremated it also scares me because of the fact that my remains will completely disappear and not even bones will be left. it kind of gives me some sort of existential crisis. also the thought of burning a body sounds so morbid to me but i think that's just cos of the way i was raised since cremation is forbidden in my family's religion. i like the thought of me still being 'around' by my ashes being in lockets in someone's room and being able to always be with that person instead of being bones far away in a graveyard

Burn my pitiful body to ashes...

cremated and my ashes dumped into an unmarked hole in the ground, It doesn't really matter what happens to my body when I'm dead, because the whole point of CTBing is to escape this physical realm and rid my self of my conscious being.

I have a definite preference for cremation, but ultimately whatever my family needs to mourn and adjust is fine. After I'm dead it is just a meat suit after all.

Cremation, 100%. I don't want my physical body to exist after I die, especially not in a box underground so ashes are the closest to nothing.

Burial. The thought of someone burning off my flesh and then grind my bones to a sterile powder to keep in a little box forever feels inhumane to me. I'd rather just slowly decompose and become a part of nature.

If it was up to me, I'd choose cremation just so that there's a 100% guarantee that I'll stay dead. I sometimes get irrationally paranoid about the idea of people designing technology to revive people from the dead provided that their body hasn't decayed too much. Of course I doubt anybody would make such a technology quick enough but I'd rather be certain that I'll stay dead

Cremate my body and throw the ashes into Lake Superior. That's likely illegal, but whatever.

Neither. Mushroom coffin is the best.

Cremation, I just wish to be cremated and permanently forgotten about like I never existed at all, I wish for nothing about this cruel, torturous existence to be remembered. But as long as I get to not exist then it could never matter to me, what comforts me about ceasing to exist is that existence will no longer be my problem and I won't be able to suffer anymore, I just wish to be unconscious for all eternity, I just wish for true peace.
