Buried or Cremated?

There are some parts of Australia where you (well, your relatives) need to renew your rights over a grave after a period of several years. It eventually will fail to be renewed. It's not enough, but that'd help, I think.

 

I want to be cremated, then have my ashes given to a terrible drug dealer and used to cut coke or something.

 

Neither...? Just put it to good use and preferably for a purpose that I don't oppose. Or being blown to bits so that there is no body to deal with.

Seriously though, I would prefer cremation between the two, but it doesn't matter much. I'd rather no one bother about it.

 

Burn me plz

 

What story is that from?

 

Cremated, and scattered in space. In the absence of a reasonable way to get scattered in space, I'd like to be scattered on a mountain. I don't like the idea of burial, and anyway, it seems pretty selfish, given the burial space problem, and the fact that I'd have no further use for my body. Oh, and they can take my organs before if they want to.

 

Cremated I think but I worry about my astro soul ( I think). Staying attached

I worry way to much

 

I want to be shot into the sun, the ultimate cremation.

 

I think Richard Branson offers to send remains into space... for a large fee.

 

I like this, I wanna change my answer to this

 

Who cares!!! You're dead!!! Burial is so unsustainable! Huge tracts of land that can have no further use because we get so strung up over death! Seriously turn me into fertiliser!

How can anyone think burial is a good option these days! Seriously! For such a seemingly unimportant issue it really riles me up :/

 

I'd prefer to be shot into a supermassive black hole, really.

 

Cremated seems the best

 

Yes, diamonds as well as minerals like coal are from the remains of once living things, that changed tdue to immense pressure asnd temperature conditions.

Interesting thread, i guess its often linked to a persons religion. In hinduism, cremation is preferred since it is hygienic, returns the elements and is seen as the last offering that the person can make to God (the remains of their material body). Also, land is fast running out and many cities are looking to dig up graves, bury them deeper and have loved ones buried above existing ones.

 

Cremation, and I want my ashes scattered into the sea, preferably someplace beautiful.

 

Yeah but you think about all the family, friends and genealogists like me who go to cemeteries for research or to pay respects cemeteries are valuable pieces of history. I love them for the history aspect. I however want to be cremated and ashes spread throughout the country.
