So, there's been a thread on how you would like your funeral to be run, but I'm curious to know what your preference is for how your body is disposed of in the end?
*~*~*~*
I went to an exhibition on death at (I think) the Australian Museum earlier this year and found it fascinating what some of the other cultures do as standard, such as letting vultures eat the remains, burning on bonfires and burials at sea.
My plan had always been to be cremated and have my ashes scattered at the beach were my surfclub is. But the latest idea I've had is to donate my body to science. I've read some articles about how beneficial it is to scientists in their research to have more bodies to work with and I figure it's not like I'll really need it afterwards
*~*~*~*
What's your preference... burial? cremation? cryogenically frozen??? Do your religious/family traditions come into play at all?
And as a side note, are you planning to be an organ donor? Why/why not?
