So now you're dead, what do you want done with the corpse?

[BlkHawk]

Granted you will want to figure this out before you die, I have two wishes:

Financially limited reality: take anything that is useful, organs, science etc, cremate the rest, and dispose at your leisure.

Money no object: strip me naked, glue my right hand to my penis, glue a cigarette between the fingers of my left hand, then launch me into space on a trajectory to leave the solar system. Hopefully in a million years my corpse will end up stuck on some alien wind/space shield and inspire a tremendous "Ewwwwww".

Apparently there is now an actually option to have your ashes compressed into a diamond, that process inpired this thread. So what's the actual plan, and the money no object plan for you meat sack?

Cremate me, go find my ex, and throw my ashes into her eyes. Unless I outlive her, in which case cremate me, find her grave, scatter my ashes over her grave, and while you're at it, take a piss on it from me.

1) If some of my organs are still Ok and could be transplanted to people who need them, take them
2) Cremate me, put the ashes into a jar and give it to my girlfriend. When she dies, put the jar in her grave

Just leave it in the road for the buzzards. Hope I followed my mother's advice and changed my underwear that week.

Use whatever leftover organs are fit for human use and either dedicate the remainder of my body for scientific research or grind me up and make fertilizer out of me. I can't see me me rotting in some grave somewhere. Seem so pointless and a waste of real estate.

 

[Mayhem]

Dump me at sea.

if your body were launched into space, it would explode, just saying

Hollywood myth, the change in pressure is not that great. Far greater pressure change happens when going deep underwater, and rising to the surface. Here is NASA covering the question: http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ask_astro/answers/970603.html

If already dead, with no oxygen in the blood, not much would happen other then sun burn.

I've already made a deal with the grim reaper a long time ago... There probably won't be anything left afterwards...

Fear of death is the most disgusting smell on earth... I can smell that even through optical fibers... Fear of death doesn't only stop people, fear of death is what makes people move...

I have to disagree actual death smells far worse then the fear of death. Nothing quite like the smell of a corpse that has bloated in the summer sun or a few days, except a corpse that has bloated in the summer heat in a confined space that pops apart when you start dragging it out of the building.

Got to thinking I should probably clarify the above, I used to farm, had a hog die in a building she wasn't supposed to be in. The bodies outside though, yeah those were mimes.

There's a new commercial running for a life insurance company. "How long do you plan on being dead?" I didn't know that we had options. Gotta give these guys a call.

 

[dpantski]

Put me in storage until they find a cure for death. If I was really old then I also require them to have found the Fountain of Youth.

 

[bahodeme]

The truth is once done with the body I could care less. But if people thought highly of me...

Or they can build a pyramid for me replete with sacrifices, either one or both would be nice.
