hows it going

couple of questions for you

when we die do we all have autopies/post mortems? i ask because i dont wont my corpse to be desecrated. when i go, even if my death is suspicious, can i have it stipulated somewhere to have it requested to leave my body alone?

another point/question is, i dont want to buried when i die, it sounds nasty. just rotting away in a box. i dont like the idea of being cremated either. ive pushed by dads coffin into a furnace, and there was even a little window, so i could view proceedings. nice.

what i'd like is go out some other way, maybe have my corspe strapped to a cruise missile, or fired into outer space? something cool like that, i dunno..

what do you think? maybe a good business idea??

thanks

I'm sure the Russians would be willing to take your corpse to space and flush it out an airlock for a couple million.

I can't imagine why you're so worried about a large lump of lifeless mass. Give the worms a meal, don't be so selfish.

maybe cut costs abit, and take a few hundred stiffs instead of one? and jettison us into varying directions into the galaxy.

i dont mind the worms, being buried just sounds a bit clausaphobic, and i might get bored

maybe getting catapulted into the ocean sounds ok

Why does it matter? Regardless of whether you're a religious man or not, your body is nothing after you die.

I'm pretty sure you don't have an absolute choice in the manner. If the government feels that you died in a suspicious manner, you're getting put on the slab.

You are correct, homicide, suicide, or unknown cause.
Burial, mausoleum, and cremation, are the only legal means.
