Pack of wolves? Where the hell do some of you live that packs of wolves roam around freely?

Anywho, I will never die....Believe It!

At first, cryo-freezing seems like an attractive option. But then, you are running the risk that someone 5000 years from now will revive you and put you in a museum exhibit.

If they thawed out a hot chick, this wouldn't be that bad an option ... :shiftyeyes;

So it's really true, most people want to be cremated. How will somebody visit your body then?

i personally would not want anyone to feel they would have to visit a dead corpse somewhere.
I would want my loved ones to remember me at my best by looking at photos and the like of me when i was alive.

hopefully by the time I'm dead they'll be able to launch ashes into space permanently. Right now I think the max you can get is a 5yr orbit. I like the idea of just launching my ashes into space and traveling into the great wide open for eternity (or until I crash into some random planet).

I pick cremation too.

I had an ex-boyfriend long ago, who freaked out at me and started yelling when I told him that. Apparently he was a little more religious than he let on originally, and he thought that if you were cremated you would certainly go to hell.
Didn't take long to end that relationship.

I've always told my wife "I don't care what you do with my body when I'm dead. put it in a potato sack beside the curb for all I care." I have no concern, and no care if there isa an afterlife, or what happens to my body. I live my life for the here and now.

Burlap sack in an unmarked grave in the woods.

No matter about feeding wolves. You go underground, you're feeding critters no matter what.

Cremation seems like a waste of energy to me (though less than a big expensive casket would be).

I'd be OK with the sack being weighted down and thrown in the salt chick too. Go fish!

Where is the "shredded and eaten by wild animals" option?

Option added, that way is preferred by the Zoroastrian people in my nation. They leave the corpses to be slowly eaten up by the vultures.

I assume you're referring to the Parsis in India? If so, I wasn't aware they did that.

I want to be cremated. Then I want my ashes fed to a pig. They will kill this pig and leave it inside of a car for several weeks. Then I want them drive this car into a building, causing a massive explosion (some extra explosives may be needed). The ramains of this car/pig will be loaded into a giant cannon (with a tracking device on it). I want them to fly this cannon out to sea and fire it tweleve times, before dropping it into the ocean from the height of 5281ft above sea level.

5 years later, they must retrive this cannon and keep it as a family heirloom.

THE END
