Poll: How do you want your body to be disposed of after you die?

[Empty Smile]

I'd rather be left in the woods where I'm found to rot naturally. Since I know that won't happen, I'll take cremation.

 

[Codieb1]

I want my body completely destroyed and forgotten about. Something like cremation, but without keeping the ashes. Otherwise I don't particularly care, I'll be too dead to care what happens to it.

 

[Sailfisher]

No cremation, thanks. I know you wouldn't feel it, but the thought of it concerns me.

You picked my curiosity. May I ask why are the idea of cremation concerns you?

In San Francisco they have an organization called the Neptune society. After a body is cremated family and friends take a boat ride under the Golden Gate Bridge, then the ashes are scattered in the water. My Grandmother, Mom, and Dad all had their ashes scattered there. I wouldn't mind that.

In the dumpster.

 

[Skathon]

My brain may be rather interesting to study; the rest should be discarded as rubbish. Though, not that I will be able to choose or object... Or care.

Well, honestly, I don't know if there might be some perception of it.

 

[Oblivion Lover]

Well, honestly, I don't know if there might be some perception of it.

Do you mean that in a sense of someone being in a sub-conscious state for some time after death?

 

[Alchemist]

I don't care at all about what happens to anything after I die, the moment I leave this world everything becomes as irrelevant as me.

Cremation...and my ashes spread in the ocean. But, like many here have already said, it does not matter since I will be dead. I'm a pragmatist; I'd rather my family use the money they would waste on a funeral on more practical things. But, funerals are for the living, not the dead...and so it goes.

Cremation, with a special request to flush my ashes down the toilet.

I flushed my father some years ago. I didn't much like him. Advice: use a toilet at McDonald's as your home crapper simply does't have the power to flush what has the consistency of cement.

As for me, I'll take cremation with my ashes being scattered upon my property.

 

[GeorgeJL]

I want to be buried as a living urn so that my ashes will grow into a tree.

Also I am going to get a tattoo on my chest that says "NO AUTOPSY" Then sign it. I will also eventually do a "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" with signature.

l don't want an autopsy either, though we unfortunately don't have any choice there. Unless you drop dead in a hospital or hospice care you're getting sliced & diced. My brother died of a heart attack after calling 911 to report that he's having a heart attack. They had to slice & dice him to determine that he did indeed die of a heart attack. His autopsy report includes the weight of his brain, and I have no fucking idea what that has to do with a cardiovascular death. So you too can have your skull sawed in half & your brain scooped out. Isn't that just lovely? They might have some difficulty doing that if you go out with a shotgun that removes much of your brain though.

Fuck if that is the cases then I might go to the woods in a tent and go out there. I just want enough time to go by so that my spirit body can exit my physical body before they do the autopsy. The heart is a very spiritual organ IMO. It's been scientifically proven to have a huge magnetic field.

 

[LifeIsNotFun]

I would love to die in a forest and let nature take its course.

As I wrote already in my notebook (I have two small notebooks full with my thoughts and instructions after my death... yeah a note is not enough just because I dont want them to make up anything about me. It is better I tell them everything before. Also it will make easier for my family and friends to understand me and let me go rather than blame themselves. I know they will but nevertheless I hope it will make the situation less burdening... )I want cremation as I am a student in another country and I know it will cost a lot to take me home, carry out all the duties and I know the rest of my family will see me. I dont want that. I wrote that I want only my dad to be present at all procedures. So they can just cremate me right after he arrives and he can return to home country without me. So noone will have a place to visit me and get sadder. I instructed everyone in my notes for no services and memorial things. No keeping of the remaining ashes. So I will be just vanished from the world. I also wrote that they do not highlight it on any kind of media. I hope they wont do that. Cause it can cause problems for my family and my friends.

So, how do you guys want your bodies to be disposed of after you ctb? Do you want to be buried, cremated, disposed of in the most ecologically-friendly way, have your body donated to science, be disposed of in a way not mentioned here or you simply don't care about what happens with your body after you're gone? Bonus points if you explain the reasoning behind your choice in your comments.

Personally, I'd like to be cremated because I found the idea of becoming food for insects and bacteria very undignified. I would rather be reduced to small components in a quick and artificial way and destroy the microorganisms that live in my body with me. I'd also like to be cremated because I think that cemeteries are a waste of space, people spend too much time visiting dead bodies, and because I believe the act of burying people when there are better ways to dispose of a body is too primitive, but that's just my opinion. I'm not sure about how I'd like to have my ashes disposed of, though. Having my ashes turned into a diamond sounds very nice, but my family can't afford that, so I have no idea. What about you guys?

Edit: Nevermind. I just found out how to make a poll. Yay!

Literally just throw me in a dumpster idc

 

[Lennox]

Cremation sounds nice. Though I don't care much one way or the other.

 

[Bagger]

Ok after some time i have changed my mind, dumpster option was choosen in despair affect. After second thought i wish my body would be placed in some rainforest, where life thrieve. I want to return to the global oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon cycles.

Organs donated to those who wish to live afterwords a cremation is for me. Done and dusted family will most likely scatter my ashes at my favourite seaside lighthouse. They know I want to be cremated I said it for years. Ps not that I talk to them im on my own I live alone I dont talk to them. Plus it would cost them thousands to bury me. In my country a cremation is extremely cheap compare the burials. Put it this way anything min €3000 euro upwords for a plot an extra 400 to open it up and at least 400-700 for funeral arrangements. Cremations+funeral arrangements are no more than €1200 plus if your on your own in my country you get a funeral grant if your family cannot afford to pay for it but its the very basic funeral so over all cremation is a hell of a lot cheaper.

I dont know if I am going off the topic but I would like to ask a question due to the comment above. Are there any methods that can actually make it possible to donate organs after death? Cause I made a brief research and as a conclusion I found out that there are no ways of donating anything if you are dead more than two hours or many other reasons.

It depends on your country's legislation.
In where i live i think they only accept organs of people who die in hospitals.

No, I mean not only the legal aspects matter. Your heart for example should be still pumping something before transferring it to someone else's body. And this is just one organ. In hospitals they keep the heart running for some time until the transplantation. I wanted to donate anything, but I figured out that it will be just impossible.

I found this question and the answer is very detailed.

Can your organs be donated after you commit suicide?

Answer (1 of 7): It depends, on the method you use, where you die, and how long it is until you are found. You can only donate the ‘main organs’ if you are in a hospital and being kept alive with machines. You must either be pronounced brain dead, or your family must decide to withdraw care if t...

Organs can be used for student doctors so if im dead by all means use them. If it benefits someone I am happy for them to be taken from me. There no good to me thats just my opinion

I done a quick Google search on it
