I don't want to seem too sinister tonight but I kept thinking abt it all day longconfused roll eyes What's the better of these 2?

Though i am a Christian and i respect (more or less) some christian rules i don't find all these burial procedures adequate. I know they say it is done "out of respect for the human body".mumbling but i just don't like the idea of Earth resembling an immense cemetery coz that's what it is in the end : a place full of skeletons uh oh

i really would like to be incinerated after i diedaydream

what's ur opinion abt all this? roll eyes roll eyes

Well I've actually been considering donating my body to Gunther Von Hagens to be Plastinated.. for his exhibitions.

I'm a MASSIVE fan of his work (exhibitions.. plastination.. autopsy..anatomy) I've been to see his exhibition. too .. and am huugggely in awe of them..

There were 6000 donors last time I checked..
But I think that's my plan.

Hows life as a brunette you???....lol


Your right he has some brilliant work,just not for me.

I"ve opted for donations for the use of transplants only and the rest to be cremated and my ashes to be taken home with a loved one,or to be scattered with Mother nature,as long as I am not buried I am not to fussy as to what becomes of my remains,I got a thing about being in the ground and its just not for me...YUK!!!...lol
