I like the idea of the open air or above ground "burial", but it would not be a pretty sight for the living! I want a cardboard casket; you can get them with pretty pictures on them and they are very cheap compared to a traditional casket.

If your body is donated to medical science, is there any cost to the family for disposal of the body?

I plan on being cremated.

But it has become a bit of a family joke that I am still going to need a headstone to put everything on it that I want.

But I disagree.............I think a sign post will do just fine.

We plan or being put in our family cemetery..........so the sign post will say.......over there is her grandfather..................this way for her great great grandfather...........over that way is the first property....................to the left is the cousins...............to the far right in the back corner is .............

I promise none of my ancestors will have any trouble tracing me 100's of years after I have moved on.

A body farm sounds good to me

Isn't that a cemetery?

cremated definitely, I am claustrophobic so couldn't stand being in the coffin, yes I know I'm dead so i wouldn't know but what if I wasn't 100% dead and I woke up???  LOL, but seriously anybody seen that movie with Kiefer Sutherland and Sandra Bullock called the Vanishing, watch that and you will want to be cremated.  Ashers scattered into the sea for me.  My father used to say he had to be buried because he was a catholic and it was against their beliefs to be cremated but apparently that's now changed so we can cremate him when it's his time.

Some cemetaries are terrible not maintaned at all, very sad to see.

Cremated cause it takes less land.

Just think of all the trees I could kill off and the underground water sources I can pollute as I rot away if I get buried :^O

Has some kind of appeal don't it 😉
