Do you care what happens to your body after you die?

[dust-in-the-wind]

Traditional burial, green burial, cremation and now a composting option in some states in the US where you can be turned into gardening soil. What option would you prefer? I'd probably go with cremation as it's the cheapest option. Rotting in the ground doesn't appeal to me.

Cremate me and feed me to the woods i was born in

 

[EG1141]

I hope to be cremated and kept by family and some close friends if they are willing to have me. I don't want a messy death, I can't imagine the trauma I'd cause the person who finds me if, for example, my head was blown off with a shotgun.

 

[Gangrel]

I wish i could not be found, be left in the forest and rot there.

 

[Lost Magic]

That's a great question. I just want to be cremated and scattered. It's actually in my will. The body is of no significance to me once it is dead.

 

[soonatpeace777888]

Cremated with no funeral. Thrown in the river.

Good choice. I don't want a funeral either.

Where do you want to be scattered?

I want to be scattered at the memorial garden where my mother was buried. But I am not really all that fussed. My soul will have departed by then.

i feel you

 

[Draconis]

I dont give a shit about the body only that my soul is in freedom.

 

[yellowjester]

It's not *my* body anymore once I'm dead.

 

[Lost Magic]

I dont give a shit about the body only that my soul is in freedom.

Agreed. I like to think of the soul as a butterfly freeing itself from the caterpillar shell. In fact: In ancient Greece, the word for butterfly, "psyche," literally translated means "soul."

Sky burial

Or cremated and thrown in the toilet, idk, I don't think dead people care about their bodies.

 

[Syrka]

cremated and scattered into the Mediterranean Sea

 

[Emeralds]

It doesn't really matter to me what happens to my body after I die. I would prefer to be cremated. I don't like the idea of having my body being pumped full of chemicals with the traditional burial. I would like to be cremated and have the ashes scattered over the ocean.

Embalming a body is so creepy to me.
If you love the ocean, there is an option that you can be made into a coral reef. I thought that was pretty cool.

I care, I'd like my body to remain fully intact so I can have an open casket burial for my family. I want to cause the least amount of trauma as possible to them since the funeral is for them and not for me.

 

[Eole2.0]

Composting option sounds nice lol. Idk i'm not militant but maybe this is the best way for me to get better

 

[FuneralCry]

What comforts me about ceasing to exist is that nothing in this terrible, torturous existence can matter to me at that point, personally I'd be so relieved to never exist again, I don't care as I'll be at peace with all finally forgotten about for me.

 

[ham and potatoes]

I want to be cremated. And either kept in an urn at my parents house, or brother's, then scattered someplace nice with my dad's ashes when he goes, as his wish is to get cremated too

 

[bluedream]

As long as my family doesn't get rights to my body to hold a service and burial, i dont care. But ill probably have to ctb somewhere remote so as not to be found, or do something else to discourage my parents from holding an open casket funeral and altering my appearance/style of dress significantly for the service.

 

[opheliaoveragain]

Sky burial somewhere along the Appalachian Trail, but not somewhere it would traumatize hikers.

 

[ayanti]

Preferably cremated; handed off to my friends or family. Composting also seems really interesting. But to be honest, not entirely sure.

 

[Plentiful_Despair]

I don't care. But I would like it if my corps will be eaten by eagles. I like eagles.

 

[fatladysings]

Cremation with no funeral. I just don't fancy a funeral and have it written into my will that there won't be one

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I don't care what happens after I die just as long as I stay dead

 

[turbomightbegone]

I personally don't care about my body once I die - it can be funeral, cremation, sky burial or whatever tickles your fancy. All I hope is that my family falls into an immense state of guilt or traumatisation after finding me decomposing in my bed.

 

[warriorkot]

i wish to be cremated.

 

[willitpass]

I have wishes but ultimately just want my family to do what will help them heal best. If it were up to me (I don't have a will so it's not), I want to be cremated and my family each take some of my ashes. I know ashes can be mixed into tattoo ink or turned into jewellery which I always found lovely.

 

[RadiantNumber]

I want to be cremated as well
