How do you want to go?

[DonaCatalina]

Baron Frederick's question started me thinking.
How do you want to go?
I want to be cremated and made into a diamond...you know like the song.
I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday.

I was aiming for cremation but if my kin want to save a few bucks and just prop me up on a cross county bus and let me ride into eternity, that's fine by me too. 

[Merlin the Elder]

I feel like cemeteries are a waste of space, but to each their own.  When I leave this vessel, which in the distant past was not nearly as scary looking, what remains is useless, unless put to use. If there are any parts that are worth harvesting, they should be harvested. Otherwise, if sending my corpse to a body farm will assist in gaining scientific knowledge, then do that.

If I know I'm dying, I'd like to throw a party to let everyone know that I'm ready. Death is nothing more than the next step in the cycle.

 if i know i am about to take a different journey in my life.....i want a wake that will be one helluva party!
only laughter, music and great food....allowed!
and when it is time to grab that brass ring....cremation is my choice and let my ashes, drift over the gorge.....

[Lady Christina de Pond]

[Mairte]

Cremation, I'm pretty sure.

  One word: cryogenics.

I'm not going to die, I'll be leaving this ole world in a twinking of an eye when the trumpets sounds, and that time is almost here.

I would like most of my ashes given to the wind at a particular point on the Peak to Peak highway overlooking the Great Divide in Colorado... and a small portion of them mixed into the paint for the next intersteller space probe, so at least a bit of my physical self can wander freely about the Universe.

I'm hoping there isn't anything left to go. I'd be happy if my last words were "Watch this".

I shall be creamated.  Ideally I would love to have the ashed fired with the morning cannon shot opening day at TRF.  However, most likely I shall have a friend scatter my ashes secretly around the Sea Devil Tavern at TRF, as I spend so much time there when alive.

We have family plots in the 2 oldest cemetaries in Houston, with 4 generations of folks buried there. The problem is the plots are full! In old case the whole cemetary is full! Truth be told, I would like a 'traditional' burial, but I don't want to be away from my family. I had the plot where my mother and my dad's mother are buried probed, and there is enough room for a couple of cremains 'caskets' between the other burials, so my dad and I will be cremated and interred near our mothers.  We will have markers and everything, so folks that walk by can say "my, this family has been here since the 1880's"

I've told my family- when I go, donate every part of me that can be then cremate whatever is left. I don't care what they do with those ashes, throw them in the garbage if you want! My husband used to be in full agreement until his father died now he isn't so sure that he can do that so here's hoping he comes back around before the time comes. (Preferably far, far, FAR in the future.) Though most likely, he'll go first...

I want to go to the Body Farm at the University of Tennessee after my organs are harvested (should they be viable).  Maybe after I reincarnate I'll change my persona at Faire...new body, new storyline, new garb :-)

[Captain Teague]

Hold me Ale and watch this...

Would prefer cremated and my ashes spread someplace pretty. Family would likely have a fit as they even talked my mother out of cremation after years of making me vow to spread her ashes along her favorite river spot, but I don't consider it their choice to make. My last requests will be put in writing.
