Self-explanatory.

I'm leaning towards cremation.

Hopefully neither until I die....

An interesting question, Primate Boy. In my religion, it is a violation of Jewish law to be cremated as that is interpreted as a desecration or disfigurement of the human body. Moreover, if a person has a tatoo, he or she is not permitted to be buried in a Jewish cemetery, again for desecrating one's body. Likewise, we are unable to be organ donors. Therefore, burial is our way.

How strict is that? For example, is having pierced ears considered desecration? Plastic Surgery? Or a replacement of a joint, knee for example.

Just curious.

Yet another insightful question . . . No, pierced ears are not considered desecration unless you have crappy taste in earrings. Plastic surgery, a violation of Jewish law? Hardly, it keeps you looking artificially young when you hang out at the country club or the Borscht Belt. Replacement of a knee or joint? How else can you dance at your nephew's bar mitzvah if your legs ain't right?! Hope this helps.

Mummified.

It probably won't make much difference one way or the other to you at the time it is actually happening...

Be careful of what you ask for, Martin. On my next trip to England, I would love to catch up with you and dear old Jimbits to raise a glass and some hell!

Burn me up, toss me in the grass, then mow the lawn. I really don't know if I could care less about what happens to my body when I'm gone.

Andad · 17 August 2009, 05:43 PM

Where I'm going, cremation is a given.

Lion · 17 August 2009, 07:57 PM

I plan on being cremated and having my ashes spread in the garden. I know it's against my religion but I already have 33 tattoos so I figure what the heck!!!

rajurama · 17 August 2009, 07:58 PM

Cremated..

swatty · 17 August 2009, 08:49 PM

One of them i suppose

Dan Pierce · 17 August 2009, 09:11 PM

Cremation, ashes strewn down The Ohio River.

Rolexophile · 17 August 2009, 11:01 PM

Burial at sea.

iSellJerseyShore · 17 August 2009, 11:16 PM

Taxidermy - I would like to be positioned on a rocking chair with a cigarette stuffed in my mouth (even though I don't smoke).

What the hell, its something different.

If they cremate me you better not stand around.

Yes, I will certainly need fur-removal before my incineration.

AIKO · 18 August 2009, 12:52 PM

Cremated. How morbid to be stuck in a box with worms eating your corpse, slowly rotting away. No thanks. Take my ashes and throw them in the wind.

hhuy99 · 20 August 2009, 04:53 AM

Plastination...just like those bodies in the BodyWorlds display.

I understand. With three ex-wives I have done enough of that already.
