- - Poll: B or C or D (http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=45659)

Poll: B, C or D, or BAG?

I am only curious, with lawyer dealings lately, and things do have to be considered.
So, what is your preference, for that eventual time, for yourself?
I don't think I've ever seen this poll here before, and sure, it's what it is, not a favorite thought.
I wonder if one choice comes out way ahead of another, as I have decided C.
Reasons optional.
I chose C because it seems tidier, and I am both insect and below-ground terrified.
So, when you die
Do you want to be:

B- Buried
C- Cremated
D- Don't plan to specify, I won't care, let someone else decide for me.

edit- or, BAG: Buried Above Ground. (Showy and spiffy!)
Can't figure out how to add BAG to the poll, may be a Mac thing.

Buried.

I don't like the idea of being burned. It feels pagan to me. I don't say that with any religious agenda... It just doesn't feel right, to me. To each their own.

Hmmm...I think I'd rather be donated to science or sent off to a taxidermist and propped up in the corner as a hat stand. :lol:

Call me weird, but I actually want to build a pyramid and be mummified and entombed within the pyramid.

Don't care...and won't care. I'll be dead.;)

Cremated, the thought of my body being eaten by worms and other insects after I'm gone is utterly repellent to me.

Harvest me for organs/blood/entrails etc, stuff me and put me on display in an art gallery. I'll be dead so not as though dignity will be an issue.

to be honest...When I'm dead it won't matter either way, I left that up to whoever inherits all my **** if I 'bite the dust' sooner than later.

But at least I already own a headstone, a plot and it's all payed for (At a sad expense...obviously!)

That's what I feel. Some people say "Oh, I don't want to donate their organs or have an autopsy done on them because I don't want anyone messing with their body.." I'm like, -__- "It's not like their going to care. Dead is dead." Lmao. And anyway, after their done taking your organs and all that jazz they sew you back up so it's not like you're completely destroyed... plus you help save other people's lives.

Sorry that got kind of deep. :distress:

Deep but true. Some religions do claim that you need to be "whole" for the afterlife. I'm sorry, but you're dead. So why would you need your organs or circulatory system? To me, a just and fair "higher power" would want you to help your fellow man as much as humanly possible. I've learned to take whatever's written in holy books as speculation and human accounts that are open to interpretation and error. But that's just my personal opinion as I wouldn't for a moment wishe to question anybody's personal beliefs. Everybody has the right to believe in whoever/whatever they want :)

Cremated then compressed into a diamond :cool:

Somebody's going to be a high maintenance corpse ;)

Buried. I like the thought of just turning to dust over time. But only after they've taken every possible useful organ etc from me. Take it all, I won't be using it! :D

After my organs are donated, it will be up to my daughter to decide what to do with my remains (on my dime, of course). I want her to bury me if she wants to visit me in a cemetery or cremate me if she wants to scatter my ashes in the ocean. She's the one who will care, not me. :)
