I agree with you Mark... what's the big deal? I have told my children that I want direct cremation.. which means wherever I am at when I die .. I am to be taken straight to the crematoriam.. after the coroner etc. thing. The only reason that I can think of to have such a long drawn out ceremony is because some people believe that when someone passes on that they should not be buried for 3 days. It might be that some want this because they want to say goodbye, I think the main reason is because the funeral industry knows a good thing when they see it! One of my sisters paid for her funeral last week to the tune of $12,000!!!! We will still go to our right place if we never have a funeral!  |

I want to be buried. Actually I would like to be placed inside a vault. This way for those who are facinated with death has something to look at.  |

I guess I really don't care what they do with me when I'm gone but I do respect the need for cemetaries. I kind of like knowing I have somewhere to go to "visit" my dearly departed. It's a memorial to them. It is out of repspect for their lives that their bodys are put somewhere nice and we can go there to reflect. I know that they live on in memories...yada yada yada...but these places are for the living to help cope with the loss. I couldn't deal with burning up someone I love and throwing them to the wind...unless that is what they wanted. It may just be a "corpse" as you put it, but their bodies were symbols of hands I have touched and faces I have loved. I'm not worshipping death when I go to a cemetary. I'm acknowloging their lives and giving thanks for what they gave me. Just my humble opinion. *smiles*  |

I'm like Jaded, we were talking about this the other day. We both want our working organs donated, and then cremated ^.^  |

I've considered donating my body to science and then having it cremated. You don't need a body for a funeral, nor for gravesite. If your friends and family need something to mourn, a little plaque in memorian should do. Might help your family consider what they're really mourning-- the things that made you dear to them won't be buried in the ground anyway.  |

I'm listed as a donor. Once they harvest any usable parts to help people, I'd like to be creamated. I don't want a traditional funeral. I'd rather have everyone show up in Hawaiian shirts and celebrate my life, not mourn my passing.  |

I think that funerals are over-rated. I understand maybe showing the body one last time for the grieving so they can say there final goodbyes. I think everyone should be creamated, cause it would take up less space and materials. Depending on how you look at things people will be differnt but really all the body is was just a shell of who you are, the body isnt the person, your soul is who you are. So I personally want to be creamted and have the ashes placed someone beautiful, im not quite sure where yet.  |

cremated and put on little japanese laterns that are set out to sea. The cove where I am launched from is where both my parents were put and has become a family memorial for all of us to enjoy and remember the love and peace with which my mom and dad lived.  |

I can't stand the thought of being cremated or buried lol. I've always told my hubby when i die to MAKE sure I'm dead before they bury me. That's one of my worst fears, to be buried alive. But yeah I wanna be buried not cremated. *BeeBop*  |

I'm with BeeBop--I have this horrible fear of being buried alive, even though it's probably next to impossible in this day and age. But I want to be buried with a modest little stone (not those HUGE monument things--too much money!) but I could care less about what kind of coffin--through me in any old box! It's going in the ground anyway. :-)  |

I want to be cremated and I want my ashes to be spread over a lake in Tahlequah Oklahoma that I visited when I was a child. Some of those days were the happiest of my life, and I think that is where my ashes would belong..... Great Post!  |

I'm honestly not too sure. I don't really think of that too much. I'd probably like to donate whatever they can use from me since I have no use for it anymore. And even though I know funerals, coffins, gravestones and junk cost a bunch, I'd still like to have one. *shrugs* I dunno...  |

Well, I would like my organs donated, and then I would like to be buried if my family sees fit. I have been good in this life, and never ask for much... I think its the least everyone could do...see me out in style LOL And some expensive flowers would be great LOL  |

My family has the last choice, whatever they decide id okay by me. Ashes dumped in the ocean would be my choice. Being "planted" in the ground to isn't my first choice. But I will consider my girls and I just let them know, that in the end, it won't matter much to me. As for them, I want whatever they need.  |

this topic was not meant as a negative funerals and memorials are about remembering the life, not the in animate corpse and yes organ donation is a good way to go too bad many more would not do it |

It is your body, so if you want to donate your body to science, go right a head, no one would stop you if you made out a will. |
