- ...Which one do you prefer? Cremation or the traditional funeral? (with mass/prayer/mouring and you're in a coffin)
Would you prefer to stay in a plot/space in a cemetery?
Or you'd choose to be cremated and your ashes will be either taken home/sprinkled away in the sea?
Share/discuss your answers and reasons >w<

Coffin under the ground. I dont think getting burnt into an ash is appealing.

I want to be cremated, with a wake rather than a viewing.
I don't want a big fuss, just as little mess and cost as possible, and my ashes cast into the river near my house, like my grandfather's last wishes.

Really, whichever is cheapest for my family to aford. >.<
But, I would love to just be in a coffin, and have a traditional Catholic mass for my funeral. If I were to be creamated, then I woud love to be spread over either the wind in a big valley, or over the ocean. ^_^ I love all things related to the wind, and I love the water and sea (Mostly from my passion of mermaids when I was really young. I still love them though.) ^_^

- I actually don't really care. I mean I guess being buried is nice since I wouldn't want to be burnt but whatever works.
I know my mom wants to be cremated though, she keeps telling us as if she's gonna die at any moment, heh.
(Side note: Poii in the GD?! This is a blasphemy) xP

Oh it is. >.< It's far cheaper than a normal funeral. I'm just saying that's what I would like to have, but, if my family couldn't aford it, then I wouldn't mind Creamation one bit. After all, I won't be using my body anymore. XD

Personally other than comedic effect I really wouldn't care at all, throw me in a ditch somewhere for all I really care.

- If I were turned to ash I'd want someone to scatter me into the sea dramatically and cry. I mean if I were at their house someone's bound to knock me over and have me ruin their new carpet or something. And then they vacuum up my dead body, that doesn't go with the whole "rest in peace" thing to me.

I find that to be kind of creepy, actualy. o_o That's a good question, though. I suppose my family could always save some of my creamation ashes, and then spead the rest over the ocean. Whichever they prefered, I suppose.

If I got cremated I'd want my remains to be spread in the river or something, the thought of being on the mantel of my great grand kids until I finally got dumped out and my urn was pawned.
I dunno if I wanna be buried. The thought of just sitting in a hole in the ground and rotting to nothing is hardly appealing... But I would want a funeral with a viewing of the body, because that's good for closure for those left behind.

- clever: well, they can take a picture of you inside the coffin right before you're going to be burned...
sometimes, they also allow family members to view your body being burned.

- My parents think I'm crazy that I already told them what I want. I want to be cremated. I never want an open casket or whatever. The thought of people looking at my embalmed body creeps me out. Even though I'm dead, yes, I don't want people staring at me. XD
I also don't want to be in a coffin, because I don't want to rot...I hate worms and the thought of them devouring me...How I shudder. >_<;
So I want to be cremated...into a diamond to satisfy my hidden egoistic nature. XD

I have this whole things planned out. I will eventually get cremated, but first I must be rolled down a hill in a barrel, shot out of a cannon, have a funeral with a moon bounce and a Jazz band, and be brought to a party. Then I want to be cremated; my ashes placed in small bags/pouches and given to everyone who comes to my wake. I want them to take me with them on any trip they go on and sprinkle or bury my ashes there. that way there I am all over the world, so no one would have to travel to a specific location to remember and mourn for me, I will be everywhere at once.
the first bit not so serious, but I would still like to have my corpse rolled down a hill and a moon bounce at my funeral.

- Well...if I'm a diamond, I hope to be a part of jewelry or something.
Ahaha, sounds kinda creepy. "Hey everyone, this is my great-great grandma!" *waves necklace around* XD

Cremation. Without a doubt. I don't like the idea of sitting underground for all of eternity, even if I'm dead. I'd like to be dumped in the sea like my grandfather was.

I wanna be cremated.
The thought of burying a body is just.... EWIE!
I heard about this one guy who wanted his ashes compressed into a diamond - I thought that was cool, but it'd be awfully expensive I think.

@ nekuyo - actually, not so much. There are several small commercial enterprises pursuing licenses to make it a public-accessible commodity. I saw an add for it in the paper a few days ago, actually.
It would creep me out, though:
"WElll, this hunk of colored diamond is me grandfather, and this one over here was Gramma! And here's Unky Joe, and Aunt Trel, and Kitty3...."
o-o
It just weirds me out, I guess.
I, however, would like to be cremated. For a very practical reason:
I want every usable bit of me to be donated.
If I'm healthy enough to die of natural causes, then something must be usable and I'd rather not be a half-empty body lying in a casket for everyone to stare at.
Put me in a pretty little box, instead, and set me up the shelf with a little plaque and a picture.
It's not like the body really matters anyways, once the mind inside is dead and the spirit's moved on, and I'd rather not be cumbersome in a 200 pound casket, you know?
My friend actually had a great idea. Her dad is of the same opinion as me: 'what use is a dead body?' so he said to dump his ashes in a dumpster and keep the urn. She, of course went "D: I would never!" And decided instead to mix some of his ashes in to oil paints and paint a portrait of him.
She's very talented with paints, and I think its a lovely idea. Not that he would die, but...it would be a lovely way to pay respects to him.

When I die, I want to be stuck into a coffin and flown off into Space! If I survive till the late future, then the technology will be better and they'll figure out a way to do that :3 I know it'd cost millions, but I'll be rich by then xD
Ok, that is what I thought when I was a bit younger, but now I just want to be buried. Preferably next to my mother...If she's also dead by then...:3
