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.

Cool Don't care...

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.

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

Me, too. Add to the fact that I'm claustrophobic as hell, and I'll pick a good old bonfire, any day. Followed by a kegger!

I can't stand the thought of being locked in a box, which is buried! Yes, even though I'll be dead. I have a deal with my cousin....if she outlives me. I'll live on her mantle, and she'll put a few drops of beer in my urn, every day.

I understand. What if you're not completely dead & you wake up? That is so far fetched, but you never know. Also, I will never watch the movie Buried. I would squirm in my seat from start to finish.

haha... yeah, good point. My old man told my sister to just "toss him in a ditch somewhere" and "save yourself the cash."
