I really don't care. Funerals are for the living.

Otherwise, I would like to buried directly into the ground or cremated.
Hmmmm...muy interesante.
I'd want my name a picture of me in my younger days up there by it.

After they take & donate my organs (if any are useable at that point) I wish to be cremated and have my ashes mixed with my son's ashes. I know they are "just ashes" but I still wish to be mixed "with him" .

My organs are open for use, but due to a history of cancer I think they will be rejected. Shame they have all worked real well for me.

I want to be cremated and wait to join my wife’s ashes when her time comes. Than they can scatter us to the four winds, or the seven seas.

I'd rather be cremated. I hate to see a burden to my family of coming to my grave ones a year. Plus, it's probably cheaper that way.
I want my ashes somewhere in the mountains.

I want to give away any organs that can be used to save someone's life and then I would prefer to be cremated. My children know not to bury me!!! Also, I have requested an Irish wake for the living, I hope they all get pissed (drunk) and tell funny stories about me!

I want half of my ashes to be used for jewelry and the other half to be thrown in a bong along with some of Amsterdam's finest and passed around by my relatives.

I had always insisted that I be cremated, because I just couldn't deal with the thought of my remains being in a confined space waiting for the worms to come. I get incredibly claustrophobic in life, so it didn't seem a very respectful thing to do with my remains. Then I read about how being cremated is bad for the environment and I don't want to be contributing to that as my finally legacy. SO, as I can't donate my organs, I'm now weighing up between finding a way to overcome my hesitancy at being buried and having a green funeral or donating my body to medical science.
