Use it as a ventriloquist dummy.


Instead of embalming fluid, use liquid Viagra and Cialis. Then the guests can play Horseshoes at the viewing.



Seriously though, rot in the ground or donate to science would be just fine.

I plan to run back to it as a ghost and resurrect so that I'm not sick and don't have 25% durability removed from my weapons and armor.

If I could actually rot in/on the ground, I would. But with burial laws mandating air tight vaults today, that's virtually impossible. What's the point of molding away in a vault?

Also, I oppose cemeteries. I believe they are a huge waste of land.

So I will be burned.

Prop it in a corner, stick a lit marlboro in its mouth, and put a SRV album on repeat.

That or donate it to a group of necrophiliacs...

You could always bring along time-release capsules of various aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. I'm sure that between them they could make good use of you. As a bonus, maybe they'd make enough gas to blow open the coffin. How cool would that be? Someone visits your grave, and suddenly there's a small explosion below the ground. :D

buried.

seeing as how married men typically die earlier than their wives do, I can threaten my kids that if they mess with her, blow life insurance money on junk I can rise of the dead.

In all seriousness, I haven't given much though too it. talk to me in 50 years.

As far as I know, I'll be going in the dirt.

If my descendants decide it'd be funny to have me stuffed and posed in the living room, that's their problem. Odds are pretty good that I'm not going to need my body once I'm dead anyway.

Is it possible to have my corpse detonated with explosives? That would be really cool.

I prefer to be burned. I think cemeteries are a waste of space. You can remember the dead everywhere, not just at the little stone on a little plot of land. I think it is silly to be honest.

Cremation, and if anyone wants the contents of my estate they will be required to scatter my ashes over the property at my lake house.

i am eligible for United States Navy Burial at Sea Program
http://www.seaservices.com/veterans.htm
http://www.seaservices.com/retired_navy_members.htm
U. S Navy Program

The United States Navy offers a sea burial program free of charge for the following individuals:

Members of the uniformed services,

Retirees and veterans who were honorably discharged from any branch of the service.

Dependent family members of active duty personnel, retirees, and uniformed services veterans.

U.S. civilian marine personnel of the Military Sealift Command.

Both cremated and non-cremated remains can be buried at sea by the Navy. Families cannot attend the service which is performed at a time and date chosen by the Navy. After completing the necessary forms, the remains must be delivered to one of several ports where the service is available. Where a full body is to be buried at sea, the casket must be prepared according to Navy guidelines and transported by a funeral director at the family's expense.

More information about the Navy's burial at sea program is available here on Sea Services' site. Simply click on the link below.
