Cremation for sure.
It's "cleaner"... I like clean!

I think cremation is the way to go, primate boy. Then you can have your ashes spread wherever you like - like at sea for example.

I told my wife to have me cremated, then put my ashes in a basketball, then draw eyes, a nose and a mouth on it and set it on her headboard so I can watch

Some of these responses are hilarious! Now I have to add mummification to the mix--not to mention going to a taxidermist or being stuffed into a basketball. And, as JJ suggested, there is always the sheep option.

I'd say cremation, but that would definitely preclude my dream of becoming a zombie and chasing Rado owners.

Cremated.

A casket is not very big and I'm a bit claustrophobic.

I'm going to be buried at sea. I've researched it and there are two places in the UK where it is permitted. One of them is off The Needles on the Isle of Wight coast. It's a lovely spot and I've sailed and swum there a few times. As I tell my friends and family bring your fishing rods, you might as well make a day out of it. The only trouble is I'm not planning it for another 40 years

By the time this becomes an issue I'm hoping death is a thing of the past

If not, I don't care. I'll just be bitter that science sucks.

Fired out of a circus cannon. Any direction will do.

My Church recently installed a Collumbarium (SP?). It's inside the Church and consists of many vaults big enough for two urns. So, unless I lose alot of weight, looks like I'll be cremated, just like the Vikings and Hector!!! While I respect other's religous beliefs, I have a hard time thinking about becoming a pile of goo in a casket. Much less being eaten by worms, being moldy, and the waste of space of a graveyard.

You and I share similar sentiments on this issue.

I don't care I will be kicking up my heals and having a grand old time meeting up with my various relatives and freinds that beat me to it!

Having said that cremation is the way to go for me, cheap and final, no graves to mourn at! Cheapest coffin as well!
