Buried or Burned?

[possiblegoodbyes]

The thought of the physical body being left here for others to deal with bothers me. Even though if I'm dead, it won't bother me. BUT IT DOES. Please tell me what you'd want done with your remains after you die, and why!!!???

I will be Cremated and my ashes Scattered with the ashes of my 2 dogs in a memorial garden!

Is there a specific reason you are more inclined to cremation over burial?

I wanna get eaten by a bear. I'm gay, so that's hot to me
I hope all str8 people know what a bear is by now

Cremation

 

[All Things Must Pass]

Cremation is socially unacceptable here so burial.

 

[demuic]

I don't care.

 

[LONE WOLF.]

Because l'm classed as a pauper(No family) and exist in a council flat! When l ctb l probably won't be found for months so l'll be well decomposed and smelly and mostly liquid, so for hygiene reasons l'll be Cremated by the local council (Paupers funeral-Cardboard coffin) and my remains scattered who knows where, that does not bother me, but l am Terrified of the thought of the ashes of my 2 dogs ending up in a landfil site! But l have No-one who will take responsibility for my ashes and those of my dogs and scatter the 3 urn's in a quiet park! I have Regular nightmares about this! :-( l could have my dogs ashes scattered in a memorial garden! But l don't know where my ashes will end up?

Ideally cremated. I want them to get rid of my body as soon as possible

 

[killedbypsychiatry]

cremated, I hate my and I just want it to disappear. Also the thought of my body decomposing inside a coffin under the ground is awful. I really hope I'm cremated

Good point

It doesn't matter to me, burials and funerals are purely for the comfort of the loved ones you leave behind. Whichever option my family prefers will be fine with me. I can see on both ends why someone would prefer cremation ashes vs. a typical burial.

I like the idea of a natural burial though, just because it's the most eco-friendly option. But if my family wants to have me embalmed and taxidermied then it is what it is! I won't be complaining, that's for sure lol

Taxidermy rules!

Natural burial, I don't wanna be kept in a metal box for eternity. I'd rather my body go to provide nutrients for a forest and it's accompanying wildlife. No gravestone, no embalming, no fuss.

 

[ClownMe]

I plan to get my dog cremated when he passes away and then keep his ashes until i ctb and specify in my suicide note that i want to be cremated and have my ashes mixed with his and dumped somewhere.

Now, whether my family actually respects my wishes, i have no idea, i think they'd be more concerned about getting their hands on whatever money I have leftover.

 

[BluesRunTheGame]

I like Holden Caulfield's take from The Catcher in the Rye:

'When you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.'

I only need the boat

 

[Leiden]

They both scare me because I have a fear of still being alive when either of them are done, but I'm scared of everything. I prob will end up cremated because it's a lot of money to be buried. Being buried is a big money maker, just like everything else.

 

[MindFrog]

Honestly just chuck me in the trash. It doesn't matter anymore.

 

[Joplin]

Donate everything they can use to science and then burn the rest. I liked the natural burial suggestion then realised as mentioned by another member, its expensive and takes up space as your gravestone etc will need to be there and I just want my loved ones to move on and not be stuck grieving at one specific location. Spread my ashes in the sea then I am part of it all but part of nothing. :) I have recently updated my wishes / Will type document and thats what I chose.

 

[JustAMatterOfTime]

I hate the thought of rotting and decomposition it is just absolutely disgusting to me and I can't separate that when I am dead I am not that thing anymore. I don't want to be autopsied at all the thought of that is even worse. Just drop me in the middle of the sea or bury me in ice or something not that that is possible but it is what I would prefer.

 

[Life_and_Death]

Cremated and this is why

Of course I'm not the biggest fan of burning but it's better and quicker then the alternative.
(also I think I kind of want to have a little memorial urn shaped like a real heart so my friend can always have a part of me but it seems creepy so I haven't told him yet )

 

[RedHarlequin]

If I could choose I guess cremation. But it is more important for me that my family gets some peace of mind so burial doesn't bother me as well.

 

[WornOutLife]

To tell you the truth, I don't give a damn because with my brain dead, I won't be thinking about what's going on in this world anymore.

However, I've already told my family I would like to be cremated.

Yet, my mother is obsessed with Jesus so, I'll probably end up being buried while a priest will be saying what a great soul I was lol.

When my pain gets too much, I think that I want to stop existing the minute I die, I don't even want a blissful, ideal afterlife. Nada, I just want to stop being me forever, so this leads me to think that my body should be cremated. That I should disappear like I never existed goddammit.

But when my pain is "milder" (yeah right..it's still there, but in the background, I just don't focus on it) I think I should be buried. But goddammit my favorite cemetery in my city is a historical cemetery now, they don't bury people anymore there. I can't even be buried where I want to, for Christ's sake

Edit: also I feel I should be buried so that I can provide
my religious parents with the "comfort" that they have cared for my peace or passing the way they need to

 

[sadbadpsychogirl]

burial. its the most natural and my body can help grow the plants above

 

[SheJumped]

I will be cremated, don't want to take up any more space on earth.

 

[FuneralCry]

I want to be cremated, I just hate the sound of burial, being underground and I think it is a waste of space. Cremation reduces my body to almost nothing which is a nice thought. I don't suppose it matters really as I won't be there. Odviously in an ideal world I would like to dissappear into thin air.

 

[AE2021]

Cremated and scattered in a marshy wide open wild area that I have already identified. Want to return to nature, which is where I have managed to find most of my comfort in this life. Away from people.
