How would you like to dispose of your body when the time comes?

First a little entertainment:
But seriously, who wants to lock their biomass away from the rest of the living world? Not me. Instead of a hand painted coffin I think I might prefer to weave a shroud. I wonder if I could get away with getting buried in my own garden. You know, one last chance to stick it to the man.
If there is no one around to give me that sort of send off I guess I'd settle for cremation but then those ashes have got to be scattered, not locked away in a little concrete box. Ugh.

Gut me for any usable parts and donate the rest to science fiction.

I'm a registered donor (I think we all should be. Opt out, not opt in). So, take what you can for transplants and education. If there is anything left, cremation.
But I'll be dead, so for all I know, I'll be Bernie to some young insurance employees in NYC.

Harvest? I hate that fucking word in the context of organ donation.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Donate my body to science. Whatever they don't want can be dumped in a hole. Not much point in spending too much to get rid of a corpse.

This is what I'm doing as well. It's not like I'm going to need this shitty body of mine when I'm dead.
Yep. I've signed all the papers to have my sorry arse hauled off the the nearest teaching hospital.

That is one of the oddities of religion. Cremation for me. It is the most efficient. As I said to my kids, I wont be there, even in the godly rubbish, I am dead and the corpse means nothing in that case.
