Considering my circumstances relating to the medical field, I think I'd be a bit of a hippocrite if I didn't help my succeeding colleages and donate to science. :)

It would be kind of cool to have my hands/forearms stuffed and given to a school so the science teacher could lay it on the shoulders of kids who were disruptive in class. I bet that would straighten them up.

why do I care? I'm dead. But if I had a choice, burn and fire me into space and out of the Sol system. None of that crappy 'will re-enter the atmosphere' stuff. I don't want to stay with you losers any longer than neccessary.

Im planning mummification although i havent decided what to do with it after that. I have always found the idea of being tossed into a volcano an interesting idea too.

So long as there is a statue of my likeness in the town center and a place for my loyal followers to worship I don't care what they do with my body. :p

Other:

Useable organs to donor-recipients and fire for the rest. Then scatter me into the ocean.

Well, that is the method best befitting virgins.

I would like to be purreed in a large blender.

If my family can't find a blender large enough, they can chop me up into smaller pieces to puree in small batches. Then I would like my human body slushy diluted with water and taken up in one of those fire fighting airplanes that carry lots of water and have the slushy dropped out over a pristine forest of trees.

The way I figure it, if I am burned, all the nutrients that I spent all these years creating are destroyed. If I am put in a metal lined box, all those good nutrients are isolated from the ecosystem.

The only way for me to live on in this world is to have my nutrients taken up by trees as fertilizer. That way, if I am lucky, I can end up being a leaf at the top of an awesome tree. Or I might travel around in the biosphere as part of lots of flora and fauna.

Throw me in a dreadnaught ala warhammer 40k so that I may kick ass for a couple thousand more years :D

I want my body to be thrown out the airlock of a Shuttle/ Space Station, so my body will be able to travel the universe as a very fine mist.
