What About Your Corpse?
« on: May 03, 2007, 11:03:23 PM »
After you die, what do you want done with your corpse?  People have such varying expectations for their burials.  Some want elaborate monuments, some want to be buried in their home town, some want to be cremated and their ashes scattered over favorite places.

Where are you (i.e., your earthly remains) going to spend eternity?

For example, I'd like my ashes to be scattered in a perfect wave about five feet high in glassy translucent tropical water near some gorgeous island. But that's too much time, trouble, and expense, so I'll settle for a pretty spot somewhere in the glorious green of Virginia, my adopted state.

As my wife wants for her ashes, a modest little plaque with name and dates of birth and death in a columbarium also would be nice.

What about you?  Statue in a house of wax?  Caisson with black horses and boots in the saddle?

When I die you will find my body clean and shaved.  Do not touch my genitals, if you are female!


Seriously though, I hope it gets chopped up, my organs donated to those who need them, and after that it doesn't matter much to me.  Oh and if for some reason my organs aren't able to be used, being a cadaver is fine.

Really?

I want only nubile 20 year old women, lovingly washing my studly corpse and gaping in amazement at my naughty bits with lustfull eyes.

They will then pillow fight, while wearing only a thong and 2 pasties, over who gets to dress me in a classy tux.

Other than that, I don't care what happens.:D

Hehe.. I won't be around to find out, but I'd say the same as Ted.

I already have my will made out and I will be cremated and my ashes buried at sea with full military honors from a Coast Guard Cutter. It's the only way I want to go out.

put me in my boat, rig a line up for me, push me out into the lake and pull the plug.

I wanna be burried in a B-17F. But since that isnt an option...

Traditional burrial. Nice quiet plot. Chances are though, theres not gonna be anything left to bury... Basically, your typical military burrial.

Wish to be buried intact. Because when the zombpacalypse comes I want to play too.

I've already told my family to give mine to a medical school to train medical students.  Money should be used for the ones that you left behind.

Cremation.  Ashes to be scattered on a clear, crisp fall day, in Cut-Off Creek bottoms under hickory nut and white oak trees.
