cremation. I used to want to get buried, but then I watched a show about how they prepare the bodies before burial and I'd definately rather be burned. Just make sure I'm really dead first.

CostCo does sell caskets (seriously they do), I wonder if they also offer cremation services?
 
I do not like the idea of being embalmed. Don't they vacuum out all the organs and then pump you up with formaldehyde or arsenic? I would just like my body however the way it is, nothing done to it and then buried but that is some health code thing? Eh, I will live forever so need to worry about this mess. There can only be one!!!

And it ain't gonna be you 😛
 
Depends on if I die before my wife or not. If I do go before her then I get buried, otherwise cremated.

Screw the cremation step... just have your relatives toss your whole body out. So what if it lands on a freeway or in someone's backyard 🙂

My vote is for cremation, then have my ashes thrown on the ground somewhere. Maybe on someone's garden, so my nutrients go into their food and they eat me 🙂
