What if you die, then she remarries and lives another twenty years with husband #2? Won't that be awkward if your ashes were saved so they could be with hers...
 
Thrown in the woods to rot like I'm supposed to do.

Whatever they do, I hope they don't bury me and waste valuable real estate. I think cemetaries are such a waste.
 
Burned. If you're buried you are embalmed. Do you want people to stick you with tubes, suck out your fluids and pump your body full of embalming fluid so you don't rot?
 
Pickled in a giant jar so all can bask on my beautiful corpse.

I want to be cremated. It has nothing to do with not wanting to take up space...but I watched a show on what they do to prepare a corpse for burial the other day and I ain't letting those sick fvckers do that to me! Throw me in the oven and burn me like a pagan king!
 
Maybe for them, but what do I care? I'm dead and burned. 😉 Hopefully whomever she remarries was married at some point too and his remains can go be with his first wife.
 
I would prefer the cheapest means so as to not cause any hardship for those I leave behind.


Personally, if they could just flush me down the toilet it would be fine by me, but family members might be taken aback by this.

You don't have to be embalmed. Jewish people don't emblam their dead
