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

[Whateverist]

I want to be cremated while my body is still fresh (and as fresh as possible!) I'd die more peacefully knowing that my body went out like a fire.  

The idea of rotting flesh, maggots crawling all over my body and my abdomen bursting open exposing my guts due to all the gas accumulated is... extremely disgusting to me. I'd rather be cremated, and I want my ashes to be put inside an urn and the urn inside a small crypt (I don't want my urn to end up in someone else's living room, sorry grandma!) with my name and info engraved on it, and that's it. 

I don't want my ashes to be scattered because I don't want to be food for other animals. (Selfish to death I know.)

Althought I haven't talked about this with my family. My mother's family buries their dead and my father's family cremates them. So it's going to be complicated in case I died. So I guess I'll have to write a will or something. 

Sounds complicated.  Maybe you could give half to your mother's side to bury and half to your father's side of the family to cremate? I would recommend not doing an open casket if you opt to split your remains in this way, unless you do the splitting after the viewing.  At least with ashes you know you won't become part of a zombie horde prowling for live human brains.

  Nothing wrong with being selfish about how your remains are to be dealt with, not clear how anyone else would really get a say in it .. unless they needed an organ that you were done with.
