Buried
Cremated
Dumped at sea
Dont care
I'm thinking of leaving my body to medical science in Nevada or California. That way I get a holiday when I'm gone.
I'd prefer to be buried, but as I won't be here to argue, I don't suppose it matters. Maybe I should put in my will that the wife has to eat me!

I always wanted to be famous so I asked my wife to dump my corpse outside Tagbilaran Municipal building pleading poverty.
That would definitely make the papers.
A retired guy here (ex military) told his wife to stick him in a barrel and fill it with concrete and dump him in the ocean..That way she could still get his pension.
Could be a tricky evening IMO!
Cremated and quickly before the embalmer woman from down the road gets her hands on me

What happens when you diethen t'worms will come and eat you up
Well, when I first made out my will in the summer of 1997, the solicitor who drew it up asked if I wished to insert a clause indicating by which method I'd prefer to have my "remains disposed of" upon my demise. A perfectly natural (if rather morbid) question, given my [then] status as a single (surviving) parent.
Shouldn't have been difficult to answer, since most of my relatives had chosen cremation for themselves ahead of their passing. But theof a human body being reduced to a small pile of ashes has always scared me. Daft, I know - after all, when you're dead, you're DEAD - you don't feel anything (I hope ... a cigarette burn is bad enough!) Likewise with burial ... the fear of being buried alive
- not to mention being food for worms
So ...... neither method appeals to me. Ideally, I suppose, "cryogenics" would be my choice ... frozen on the [unrealistic] premise that scientific advances might be able to bring human bodies back to life some day.
Seriously, though, I would like to think that my organs could be used to save others in the event that I'm killed in an accident; or my body donated to medical research - the latter opportunity having been denied to my first wife because she died from a form of lymphatic cancer.
However, I tend to veer in favour of *burial at the present time ... especially now I'm married to a Filipina, as - with perhaps a few exceptions - that is the usual *custom in the Philippines. And for Myrna, cremation is a
I think we should donate Dedworth's body to medical science now.... or do they have to be dead?

HmmI think we should donate Dedworth's body to medical science now... I think Ded will be coming back
as a Romanian Benefits claimant to
haunt himself!
Hmm
Or Ed Miliband's future grandchild..hahaha

Fred... I see this poll has been placed on the "back burner" meantime!
I would like it to continue because I haven't the faintest idea what happens or what to do when someone dies, don't know anything about cost or what happens when no finances are available or anything at all about death. I could hopefully have been educated on this subject if members would contribute to this thread!Fred
... so would I, Michael. But MAINLY because I'm a morbid old bugger!
Y'see ... I grew up in a household where the subject of death was "hush hush"; like, it simply wasn't talked about!
... and I suppose it could've been this
Yes Arthur, it was never mentioned to me at home, surprised it's never mentioned at schools, I think it should be in order to prepare kids for when family members pass away!... so would I, Michael. But MAINLY because I'm a morbid old bugger!

Probably *they do, nowadays. But ...
