just chuck me out with the garbage

I plan to be cremated. Pop and my middle sister hate the idea, but my brother (assuming I go first) has agreed to see that it happens.

I’ve told my family I don’t want a burial or funeral. Just scatter my ashes in the mountains.

Yes. I'm actually planning on donating my body to science so they can study it. It would be great to end up at the body farm or as one of the cadavers used for mortuary or medical school training. 😊

I want to rest with my son.

Casket does feel like a waste.
Why does every industry have to have packaging?
I truly don’t care what my family chooses to do with me. I’ll be dead.

I'm not going to do anything; being dead really limits your options, I'm going to leave it all to whoever feels like taking charge.

I plan to go into the wilderness and be eaten.

there's a book by Mary Roach called 'Stiff' that goes into (as the subtitle calls it) 'the curious lives of cadavers'. there are some interesting alternative options being developed (or were; the book is many years old) to burial and cremation (cremation is often considered very unsound environmentally).

The two mehtods I remember best consisted of a bath of boiling caustic mix that left you as nothing more than a pile of bleached bones or a liquid nitrogen/ultrasonic reduction that turns a body into a smallish pile of compost that is then put into a container with a tree to be returned to people.

anyway, a good book to read, if you're interested in the range of things that can/have/may happen.

Ive already arranged mine, a pure cremation. No service or bells and whistles. Just taken cremated then the kids can place the ashes where they want to.

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Cremation is the route I am going.

Whatever still has value, is to be donated. Maybe my skin?
Ashes to be planted with a fruit tree on my family's land.

I don't care. Whatever my family and friends want to do would be best. Funerals are for the living, the dead don't experience them.

I'm probably going to die at work and they can throw me away.

Donate my remains to a med school. Let my ultimate disposal be [i]their[/i] responsibility.

cremated. but back to you @caPnAhab why do you want to be buired at all. Rotting carcass? Trust me when I say the tree ain't going to eat your dead body.

Just feed me to the animals and do a plaque

Ceremation, the cheapest possible.

I always thought cremation was the obvious answer.

Bit of a scandal going on here in the UK atm as funeral companies have taken millions from customers only for it to be revealed that certain companies and crematoria have a stockpile of corpses they can't incinerate due to licensed operating hours and a huge backlog from the covid debacle.

Loads of changes to laws in the appropriate disposal of also now means you can't be buried at home unless you have land; it's a required distance from your house; and the plot has to be incinerated and appropriately lined so you don't decompose and attract wildlife nor poison the groundwater.

I cannot be buried in a casket or cremated. It goes against my religion.

Just throw me in a pile of trash or feed me to the wolves. I won’t care

I always tell my family not to waste money on me and just bury me in the garden that I so enjoy tending to.

Not decided but I may choose what is called a "direct cremation".

That is, with no ceremony within the crematorium. Mourners are allowed to gather in the grounds but not enter the chapel. It reduces the cost considerably, and is becoming quite popular.

I don't know if the cremation itself is carried out at the time or after the last service of the day, which I believe is the normal practice, and why the ashes are not available on the day.

I'll be dead so my opinion doesn't matter, I will leave it up to my family to choose. What ever helps them grieve.

I would like to be cremated with my ashes spread so the temporary urn can be pretty modest.

I like the buried under a new tree idea.

Green burials are becoming more common. That's what I want. Return my body to the he earth.

My brother did the viking funeral.

I'm being cremated.

There are certain types of trees that can survive with human ash but it is quite toxic to flora. I like the thought of becoming a tree too

Cremated. My ashes thrown under my backyard tree.

I want to be turned into a tree

I being burned in my yard

I wanna be a tree too

I won't be here, so I don't particularly care what they do.

Hopefully entombed in a crypt/mausoleum

Unfortunately, what I want done with my remains isn't legal in the United States. It's called a sky burial.

Donate your body to medical science.

Fed to wolves

Having myself burned and my urn intered with my Dad in his mausoleum vault.
