    Same here. And being thrown into the big oven without a coffin saves energy as well, I assume ;)

    at the very least it will mean his new shiny pencil is made out of me and not some random coffin ashes....

    I'd be sorely disappointed if I die without being on someone's enemies list

    Afaik the coffin isn't burned with the body, the person is removed from the coffin and is usually wrapped in plastic before being placed in a cardboard container.

    Not true. You cannot open a coffin as soon as the undertaker closes it. The coffin is burned as is

    Plenty of Catholic Saints were buried without coffins. It's not just a Muslim thing.

    That went a little over your head :rolleyes:

    When I go I want to donate my carcass to science so there won't be enough left of me for a coffin anyway.

    Just hope I don't end up in a Tesco lasagne...

    Wasn't this the excuse used when the American's produced no evidence that Osama Bin Laden had actually been killed.

    If he wasnt killed then hes being a jolly good sport by playing along with it.

    I think i want to be cremated and have my ashes put in a hole and planted with a sapling, like my ashes would give the tree nutrients and absorb me and some part of me would be in that tree

    a coffiin would stop you escaping if your still alive when they bury you


    they don't really need a suit or good clothes

    just a sheet would do

    I hope so too. Those lasagnes get awful tempting when payday is still a ways off.

    I'd like my ashes mixed with 15 tonnes of liquid slurry, carried by helicopter to this location and then released into a strong wind around mid-afternoon any Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in winter:

    I was to be buried without a coffin, wrapped in seaweed, to aid biodegradability.

    And then what happened?

    Never got the fascination about funerals, when my time comes just toss me into a hole and don't bother with any kind of ceremony
