Oxigen_Waste Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Excuse the morbid subject... but how would you like your funeral to be? Burial or Cremation? And why? And if it's burial... grave, tomb or mausoleum? I can't stand the thought of Burial, just rotting away in a box... I demand to be cremated! Plus there's always the possiblity I'll be buried alive, wich is one of my biggest fears. The only way I'd accept to be buried, is if it were without a coffin or clothes, just a buried body in a grave.
Daft Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 My genuine answer is, I don't really care. I guess a burial in a grave but whoever cares about me can decide how they want to remember me, I doubt I'll argue with them.
Gizmo Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I'd like to be cryogenically frozen so I can come back to life and have a MASSIVE piss. I didn't steal this from Austin Powers.
Ellmeister Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Its kind of creepy just thinking about it, so I'm not going to anymore. O_W are you really afraid of being buried alive? Just ask for one of those bell things to have connected to you when they bury you
Strider Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I want to be burnt to ashes. Preferably like a jedi, in the woods on lots of logs. Also i'd leave this world with one last stab at increasing global warming.
Ten10 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Burial incase I'm not dead yet. I'd rather be burried alive than cremated alive
The Bard Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Why the fuck would I want to be cremated? I'd much rather be buried, preferably naked, so I could give something back to the earth I've been pillaging all my life, instead of polluting it further. Cremation = phail.
Guest bluey Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 meh... i'd be dead - so i wouldnt really care too much... but i guess for whoever i leave behind i'd like to be cremated and scattered somewhere.. i dont wanna take up unnecessary space ^__^ .....i'm dead considerate, me. i had to.. i couldnt stop myself.. i really tried.
The fish Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Cremation, just as it takes up less space, and I can give someone somewhere to go to remember me that isn't as bleak as a graveyard.
Cube Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 A burial with no coffin. There's no point cutting down a tree just to throw the wood into a hole to rot.
conzer16 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Burial. Never even considered anything else. And I'm Catholic.
BeerMonkey Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 no way would i want to be cremated..just the thought of being ash in a urn sends a chill down my spine
Jamba Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I want to be burnt to ashes. Preferably like a jedi, in the woods on lots of logs. I quite like the idea of the burning floatilla thing. I like the idea of quitely leaving the shore and peacefully leaving everyone behind.
Jimbob Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I don't really know, the thought of rotting away in a box under tonnes of earth/mud sends a chill through my spine. So does the thought of being ash in an urn. But as i will be dead (hopefully) when this happens, i wouldn't care too much. Anyway, at the current way things are going there will most likely be no coffin burial plots left as they are filling up fast around my area, but cremation urn burial plots are plentiful.
Guest bluey Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I quite like the idea of the burning floatilla thing. I like the idea of quitely leaving the shore and peacefully leaving everyone behind. ...while on FIYAH!!
weeyellowbloke Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Yep, cremated, at sea, on a boat in the style of Uphellyah. That way I can pledge my soul to Odin and the Norse gods of old.
Hellfire Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Send me to space in a Super Star Destroyer made just for me.
Oxigen_Waste Posted February 28, 2008 Author Posted February 28, 2008 A burial with no coffin. There's no point cutting down a tree just to throw the wood into a hole to rot. There you go. Cube, you're a wise being. :wink: Although we're probably the only ones who are gonna defend that.
Eenuh Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Cremated; I don't want my dead body to take up any space. Plus the ground around the coffin actually gets toxics in it from the coffin (and the materials used in it) and the body. But then again there's also toxic involved with cremation. I actually read about a new way of burial/cremation not too long ago. Forgot what it's called, but basically you're put in some weird coffin (not the normal one), then the thing gets frozen (like really really cold) and then shaken so it falls apart into tiny pieces, which can be put in an urn. Basically with this there's no pollution. =3 *might want that, if she can find out what it is, and if the price isn't ridiculously high when she dies*
gaggle64 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 It would depend. I'd prefer any usable organs to be given away, and the rest to be afforded to science if it's usable. Other wise, cremate it and scatter it on the nearest windy shore.
Wesley Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Hard choice. Burial... helps others and loved ones can visit the grave. But then again... once they all die... your grave sits among others... never being visited. Cremation... well... is... erm....
Ten10 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Something to cure fears of being burried alive. Escape hatch coffin Personally I would like to go out in style so I would love to have this impreza coffin. Not too sure where you get in though.
Mundi Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 I want to be shot into space in a small rocket and incinerate when i enter the atmosphere again. When that happens it looks like a star falling I would imagine that it would be a breathtaking last sight of me for my loved ones
Rummy Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Good thread, I had the conversation with my mum a few months ago, in a light hearted tone though. I'd like to be cremated tbh, burial takes up space and effort, cremating reduces me to a tiny pot of ashes. I'd like to be buried to 'give back to the earth', and I don't mind the idea of maggots and creepy crawlies eating at me(my mum does), but I just think cremation is much more space saving. Also, if I was scattered, I'd feel like I was more...freed like? I dunno if people get my point, but ashes flying in the wind, settling in the open air, whatever, as opposed to be boxed in under the ground? As for where I'd like to be scattered if I was, I'm not sure, near my parents maybe(hoping and assuming they both die before myself, in a most unselfish way). I can't think of anywhere else really, other than somewhere near this house, or the local park where I went as a kid, or my dad's allotment or...I dunno! Somewhere nice though, and somewhere free.
Sanchez Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Why the fuck would I want to be cremated? I'd much rather be buried, preferably naked, so I could give something back to the earth I've been pillaging all my life, instead of polluting it further. Cremation = phail. I think you might be over estimating the value of your corpse, especially if you consider the consumption over a normal life time.
