When you kick the bucket would you rather go 6 foot under or into the cremation furnace?

I think I'll be too busy being pissed off about being dead to care :pac:

Neither are very good for the environment. Consider a third option.

Cut up into equal sized pieces and buried at various locations around the country.

Pieces the size of a match box would be what I would be thinking.

Mushroom burial suit, good for the soil

I don't know why anyone would want a traditional grave with a headstone etc, it's just a waste of space.

Would burial not provide fertiliser for the ground as you rot

I'll donate my body to one of the universities for medical students to work on. After that it'll be cremated.

Probably buried, I'm not great with the heat.

Is that available in Ireland

eviltwin · 23-11-2020 05:09PM

I'm hoping to donate my body to medical training. I can't think of a better use for me. After that cremate me and scatter my ashes somewhere nice.

I have previously decreed that I shall be laid to rest in a 400-meter-square pyramid on the green opposite my house, accompanied by numerous serving-wenches, livestock and magnificent treasures. Before the final tomb-sealing there shall be a week-long official lying-in-state in the middle of the local pub, where my idjit mates can spend some time getting seriously pissed and saying things like "Would you look at the bollocks there lah, he never looked so well!" :cool:

Seems a bit excessive....

let the organ donor crowd take everything they want and then put me in the cheapest coffin available and throw me in a hole and let the maggots and worms eat away....

A Meath mortician announced they'd be opening the first aquamation centre in Ireland in 2020...I assume like most things in 2020 it's been delayed

hmmmmm I dont want to rain on your parade but as a former altar boy, a body in a casket starts to smell after a few days. I had to serve at one a week later because family had to come from Australia..... It was one strong smell.

Cremation for me ,

No point being dropped into a hole where you will be forgotten about ,

Fire up the oven for one last roast

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.

Id like to be tied to a tree in a forest and left there as carrion.

spaceHopper · 23-11-2020 05:35PM

Flushed down the toilet, good enough for goldfish good enough for me.

You are somewhat bigger than a goldfish? wouldnt you like your protein to be recycled for lab grown meat?

Cremation in the Cork crematorium. Gorgeous place and so much cheaper. I have it in the will that I want the cheapest option, even if it is cardboard. I am to be placed into a biodegradable container. Then throw me off a cliff in West Cork lol no scattering ashes, I seen how horrible that goes wrong!
