Buried or burnt? Whick will you choose?

Which will you choose as your final resting place?

Do you want to be buried or cremated?

I dont want a wake or an open coffin.. its a bad way to remember somone.. i want to die, put into the box and burnt.. small non dominational funeral.. and everyone back to the hotel for a dinner at my expence.. to share a joke or 2

Personally i will be cremated because i dont want the worms to get me.. i want to be cremated and my ashes disposed of... not kept.

Funeral pyre.

I've always wondered tbh how long people keep the ashes. I mean if my parents were cremated and wanted the ashes kept, I'd keep them for my whole life and probably like my own children to keep them after I'm gone.... but how would you feel about being responsible for your great grandparent's ashes if you had never even met them?

Oh and probably burnt and chucked in the brown bin (organic waste) for me.

burial for me, the idea of cremation freaks me out. just in case i was still alive or anything id prefer to be buried alive than burned alive

I keep threatening the girlfriend that I want to be cremated and my urn kept on the mantle piece.

Don't think I'd be too fussy to be honest, its not going to matter to me like, I'm going to be dead.

i was going to have my ashes mixed into a hot curry and secretly fed to my ex so should could enjoy me dripping out her ass one last time.

The inventor of the Pringles can died recently and some of his ashes are being buried in A PRINGLES CAN! The rest in a traditional urn.

Somee ppl..although extremely rare have been knwn to be buried alive. Seen a documentry about it. Some have actually instructed in their will that their wrists be slit before being buried.

Mind you it doesnt make sence, because most ppl are embalmed now.. ive actually been present at a few embalmings.. its kinda like preparing a turkey the night before dinner... well not really, but i can tell you with all the formaldehyde they pump in to you.. you aint waking up!

Apparently, electrical signals are detectable in the brain for like 6 months after death.

I want to experience that trip. Burial for me.

I love AH. I love the internet.

I kinda like the idea of if you're buried, your body breaks down and fertilises the ground above it, the worms eat it, etc., so in a strange way you could consider it 'living on'. If you plant flowers on top of the grave, your death helps them grow....

But at the same time, it's kind of disgusting to know that someone's corpse is decaying below your feet...

Dunno

I thought this thread was going to be about how you'd prefer to die.

On topic though, I think I have to get buried as my Mammy has already bought the specific plot that I'm going to be buried in.

I'm slightly worried though as I'm only in my early twenties and I have no serious illnesses (that I know of...)

The Artist · 02-06-2008 03:35PM

buried in a cardboard box,no expensive coffin thanks.

your mother has already bought your plot?? ahahaha thats awful - id be careful of eating her dinners from now on, she's totally trying to do away with you

PeakOutput · 02-06-2008 04:38PM

cremated

if people care about me enough id like some of the ash to be turned into fake diamonds(google it i cant remember the name of the company but they were talking about it on the radio a year or so ago) and made into rings i think that would be pretty cool

id also have a list of places id like my ashes scattered which(especially if i had kids) could be done over a period of time kinda passing on were i have enjoyed to the next generation as they visit each place

KnifeWRENCH · 02-06-2008 04:56PM

Definitely burial. I wouldn't mind having a wake, but I don't want a removal. They're just too depressing.
I've no worries about being buried alive: just one of the benefits of having an organ donor card

I've never liked the idea of cremation.

TeletextPear · 02-06-2008 04:58PM

heh yeah i have an organ donar card too, didnt really occur to me that it pretty much guarantees i couldnt be buried alive

hey snyper
you're totally on the death buzz these days,

Re your plans for your ex.........what a lovely thought!
And only yesterday you were sounding close to sensitive!

javaboy · 02-06-2008 06:20PM

How does cremation impact on your carbon index? :pac:

is_that_so · 02-06-2008 06:25PM

If incinerators don't reach their quotas you can help generate electricity

and the phosphates for the soil. I'm for burning and getting scattered.
