Burial or Cremation?

I always wanted to be buried, but recently I have been thinking about cremation. So much easier and cheaper for the family. The only drawback is where to put the creepy urn?
 
Cremation for me, no need to waste the land with a rotting body!
Besides, why have the family slaves to a cemetery for years, instead spread the ashes around and say a real goodbye!
 
Burial, or more like entombed. I would like to be worshipped postmortem for my incredibly huge e-penis.



I'm serious, it's HUUUUUGE.
 
i told my potential survivors to surprise me

:roll:

although i won't care then, cremation is less expensive . . .
 
Why have an urn? Tell your family you'd like your ashes disposed of, or strewn over some area of significance to you. Whatever. But you don't have to save the ashes, ya know?

My dad was cremated when he passed away, going on 4 years ago. He and Mom used to winter in Arizona, out east of Phoenix, and he loved the desert out there. So when he died, Mom decided to get rid of the house out there, since she didn't want to be a snowbird anymore. While we were out there prepping the house for selling, we took Dad's ashes out into the desert, in a really nice area, and spread them to the wind. We figured he'd like that. 🙂

Just be careful that local ordinances allow that, ya know? It'd be pure suckage to get pwned with a littering ticket for doing such a thing!! 😱

Oh yeah, and most crematoriums will dispose of the ashes for you if you ask them to, or even hold onto them for up to a year or two, for a nominal fee. I told my sisters that I don't care where mine are spread, and if they make good fertilizer, to feel free to use them for that! 😉
 
Put me in the cheapest POS casket they can get and fire that sucker up.

What I'd really prefer is to be creamated on a pyre, but that's probably against some law somewhere...
 
cryogenic suspension.

One day their going to figure out how to bring people back from the dead.
 
burn...

i dont believe in having my body waste land that could be put to some more useful purpose
 
Don't some people bury ashes as well? ... It just doesn't have to be six feet under and you don't need a big plot.
 
Even though I voted for Cremation..

I heard on the radio, from someone who apparently worked at a Crematorium that when you get the ashes of your loved one back, theres no guarantee that its all them. He said they burn a bunch at a time or 1 at a time, but scoop the ashes up after doing multiple.. so no guarantees whos ashes you really have.
