Cremation, it's cheaper and doesn't take up so much (or any) grave space. Dumpsters are no good because of silly things like diseases.
 
Cremation it costs less & spares the family the agony of picking burial clothing, sitting for a wake that can go on for two or three nights.
 
Dumpster.

Gubment will find it and cremate it for free once no one claims it, according to TV.

I think I might go cremation. While being burned to a crisp isn't great, having shit slowly eating me inside out, or having some weird toxic shit preserving something that barely resembles my corpse in the ground isn't great either.
 
cremation, since it breaks any attachment your soul might still have to your body. and will prevent you from lingering around as a ghost.
 
As long as no embalming is involved, I'm okay with either though leaning toward cremation to avoid stupid, wasteful American burial laws (dedicated plot, mow-over markers, burial vault requirements, etc. Tibetan sky-burial would be preferred though, if we happen to be at war with someone who actually needs their asses kicked then maybe drop my disease ridden corpse into their water supply.
 
Donate my corpse to science. I've heard it's even cheaper than cremation, and has the added benefit of possibly helping society.
 
I've always wondered: Is there an standard, accepted means of disposing of cremains? Can they be flushed down a toilet or disposed of with the trash and taken to a landfill?
 
I think they're usually scattered somewhere, or else buried like a corpse. Either way it's still cheaper than a traditional burial.

I wanted mine throw in the face of my seventh grade english teacher but she predeceased me and asking my survivors to dig her up would be awkward.
 
Burial ... just because I'm used to the idea I guess.

Of course I'll be dead so its very unlikely I'll care much one way or the other.
 
Salvage, cremation, eBay, whatever.

Vacuumed up after they're accidentally spilled on the floor.

Usually they're either interred at a cemetery (in a grave or mausoleum) or scattered in a place meaningful to the deceased.

No. I actually meant "disposing" of them. What do they do with the cremains of people without families?

Ah, like Potters field?

Bodies are cremated and ashes stored then buried once or twice a year in a mass grave with hundreds or even thousands stacked in it. Recall its just in cardboard boxes.
