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

All together everyone now:



Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww !!!!

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.

Being split into two? What a stupid idea. Now that was the most stupid thing I've read all day and I've read some christians replies today already. I want my whole body to be cremated and it's my decision, not my family's. Being split into two! What nonsense lmao. Is that common in your country? Do you also like gory things? Have you had sex with amputees too? Don't answer, I don't really care lol.

Oh I wasn't offended. I just thought your reply was rather peculiar. You should write horror or comedy movies. A scene where a person is split into two just because one part of the family wants to have them cremated and the other one wants t have them buried is very funny or... appalling, depending on how you see it. lol

It seemed to me to be a rather obvious solution to your family's conundrum.

Yes, because people with those conundrums do it all the time. It is so obvious, why did I not think about it before! You're such a genious! People on here are so bright!

No really, I thought people on atheist forums would be cleverer, I have to say I was awfully wrong. You make people at christianforums.com look like Einstein, haha.

But I don't mean to say that you're stupid because you think splitting a dead body into two is an obvious solution for this kind of problem. I'm aware that there are certain practices in different countries that might be different from what I'm used to. A diverse forum, I like that.

Considering this is an atheist forum and we're on the off topic section. I wonder why that person should be appreciated. Did I miss something?

Oh, relax guys. I'm just being sarcastic! I've already decided. I'll be split not only into 2 parts, I've decided I'll send my arms to my gradmother, my legs to my aunts and uncles, my mother can keep my head and my father can keep the rest! They will be able to cremate me, bury me or play ping pong with my body parts. It will be so much fun!

Do I fit in this forum now?

As it is with all text-based communication, sarcasm doesn't pass through very well without some extra clues.
A smiley at the end... or, sometimes, people use a fictional bbcode tag [/sarcasm]...

Failure to include some clue, transforms your sarcasm into assholishness, which isn't really something people like to read.

I'm not gonna report you for trolling for simply this message but I do find this message kinda trolly. Just so ya know.
