What determines your decision to choose one over the other? Do you have strong feelings of one over the other?

I want to be brought to ashes, then blown to the wind where the earth meets the sky and the ocean......

Why the box and headstone to occupy a place where you no longer reside?

I've always said I wanted to be composted, it's the most environmentaly friendly way to go.
My genuine answer is probably cremation, though I don't know why.

Because some people want to leave a mark somehow that they touched the earth and can't deal with the insignificance of their life in the grand scheme of things.Because some relatives that are left behind need something somewhere that is tangable to pay respects, visit, cry ,take confort, make decisions, you name it...people seem to derive a great deal from a grave site...That being said...I have no kids so, unless I go before the dog, screw it I think I'll go for cremation....

I want my kids to cremate me and do whatever with the ashes, it's up to them. There IS something to be said by what Lily said tho... I wish I had a place to go to "be with" my mom, she's with me all the time but there's no place special. Never had closure to her passing so it's a catch 22.

And why cremation? I HATE WORMS! grin you should see me bait a hook to fish... Brian thinks it's a riot tongue

Personally, I want to be cremated and have my ashes scattered to the four winds.....I'd like to think that I can have the same freedom in death, that I've also had in life, but thats just me...

LOL...If they embalm you you wouldn't have to worry. There have been cases of people being embalmed while still alive but the chances are so rare and I think would of been more of a risk in the past.

Did you know that Edgar Allen Poe was so afraid of being buried alive, that each night before bed, he placed a note on his nightstand that said "Only sleeping, do not bury."?

I'd like to be burnt. I've heard of coffins been excavated, and scratch marks been discovered on the insides of the lids. Cases of people been buried alive are more common than you would believe!

I read some figures in a book once, but I can't recall them. It was more prevalent in the 19th century. I might try and find out and get back to you, but that's a big might.
