Make me a diamond, sell me for charity.

Or, from the organ donation thread...

Donate my body to cannibals to fight world hunger.

Hey Sussie,
just to get this going,
I think both are fine, depenting maybe on you spiritual path.
As a Asatru pagan I'd prefere Cremation but then have the ashes burried in an urn with some gifts, a small nameplack or maybe just a tree on top.
Best regards
bert

I agree with the organ donation.
After that, I think cremation is a more economical alternative to burial, then storage in those little marble spaces in the cemetery with a nameplate.

Whichever is cheaper, the memories I leave with others are all that matter. My leftover remains aren't that important.

as a catholic, i'd say burial...

but i'm not doing either. i'm going to donate whatever organs they wish...and have the rest of me turned over to the college here for the anatomy and physiology class...no burial, no costs whatsoever, and i get to be a part of training the new crop of docs...

Yes, the voodoo priest is in my closet right now floating around and rearranging my clothes so they are color coordinated, and I got fish patty in the freezer, so I'm good to go.

And YES it will change, cause zombies don't bathe, and I DO tongue
