The whole preserving your body after death is a puzzler to me.
You might as well turn me into mulch to help that flower in Min.'s ass grow.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Hmm I thought it would be vampiric in origin, instead of alien.

My last request:
1. Go through my body to salvage any useful organs that might be donated to someone who needs a transplant.
2. Cremate me.
3. Dump my ashes in the Valley of Gehenna, just outside of Jerusalem.
This was an ancient garbage dump where refuse was burned. Previously, it had been the site of a temple to a cruel rival god with Yahweh named "Moloch". The ancient Israelites would dump the bodies of executed prisoners in this valley instead of giving them a proper burial as a final insult. Legends of this valley grew over time and it was considered the gateway to Hell by early Christians. Jesus himself used Gehenna in his teachings on Hell.
So Gehenna was a burning pit that was home to a rival cruel god where sinners were dumped when they died. Sound familiar?
4. Tell everyone accurately that I died and went to Hell.

I actually would like to be buried. No in cemetaries, but where my remains would have better than average chance of fossilizing and preserving for several million or more years.
After I die and would need my bones no more, I would like to give my bones slightly better than average chance to contribute some information about us to some very distant descendants, or some other intelligent race altogether.

Most certainly, I will care jack shit about that. Being dead and all that jazz.
