A little dark and depressing, but what would you like done with your body, after you pass on? Think of it as an eplaya will.

Id want to be cremated, and my ashes mixed in with a batch of C4. Planted in the grave of George W Bush...or Raygun, if I dont live that long...and detonated.

Cremation, ashes dealt with by heirs as they wish, or maybe I'll go eco-chic and be buried in a park that's then funded by the fee.



Or a viking funeral!

cremate me, it's cheaper for the loved ones. In most parts of Nevada it's legal if you want to bury someone in your backyard.

I would like some of my ashes put into snowglobes...just give me a shake now and then :wink:

Leave my shriveled, barren corpse to rot in the high desert, where the vultures may eat of my remaining energy and convert my entire life's vanity into a few languid beats, a pair of black wings in the desert heat.

Just plasticize me, or turn my ashes into diamonds, not exactly sure which way to go just yet.

dig a 6' deep hole, take my body & dump it in it. Tree planted on top is optional.

With the planets population nearing 7 billion we need low impact ways of dealing with dead bodies- the fancy western coffins with chemical filled corpses can't continue; and with over 80 million people a year dying cremation will require too much fuel to be viable.

Dig holes, toss the bodies in, let us feed the trees.

You know, Eric and JK, maybe I could talk you into becoming condor food. That's the problem with today's cattle ranches, they don't let the inevitable loss become food for this majestic bird. (JK you're not in the right place. Well maybe, Grand Canyon is in the desert.) Although I hear condors don't eat mutilated cattle. Alien cooties, I guess.

If, and that's hypothetically speaking of course, I were to die, it can't happen, but let's just say for shits and giggles it did. My choice would be to deep freeze me, with all my bits and pieces, because one day, in a future that we know nothing about, they just may find the cure to Death...

I'm thinking of donating my body to Hollywood so they can do one real awesome special effect.

Either that or burial at sea.

Unfortunately my number one plan was turned down by the only person who could make it work for me.

I'd decided that I wanted my body cremated and my ashes used in some of my brother's art.... He was doing lost wax castings at the time, and I thought I'd look great liberally sprinkled in one where eventually I'd come out as either a strange inclusion or just a random blemish...

....it seemed fitting.


Anyhow, he's not going for it.

(maybe someone else might???)
Worry is a misuse of imagination

She had blue skin, And so did he.
He kept it hid And so did she.
They searched for blue Their whole life through,
Then passed right by- And never knew.”
