4. That looks handy...

I would be able to get my remains scattered at Disneyland, and not have to go through cremation beforehand!

5. Old Joke

When I die I want to go like grandpa: peacefully, in my sleep. Not screaming like everyone else in the car

6. There's a place called the Body Farm in Tennessee

where you can just decompose, and they study it.

12. We have a sloped yard with woods

in the back. I told my wife to roll me off the deck and let nature go to work. My daughter however objected and reminded me that they like playing back there.

20. Years ago I told my husband to wrap me in a sheet and put me in the woods

He's worried the cops would not approve.

We've got thirty acres of woodland - I doubt anyone would notice other than the vultures.

13. George Carlin said that when he died he wanted to be blown up

That option may soon be available in certain cities thanks to Trump.

14. There are body farms out there that will use

your body for forensic and scientific research.

[font size=5]A Project to Turn Corpses Into Compost[/font]

By CATRIN EINHORN
APRIL 13, 2015

Cullowhee, N.C. — The body of the tiny 78-year-old woman, gray hair falling over stiffened shoulders, was brought to a hillside at Western Carolina University still clad in a blue hospital gown and chartreuse socks.

She was laid on a bed of wood chips, and then more were heaped atop her. If all goes as hoped, the body will turn into compost.

It is a startling next step in the natural burial movement. Even as more people opt for interment in simple shrouds or biodegradable caskets, urban cemeteries continue to fill up. For the environmentally conscious, cremation is a problematic option, as the process releases greenhouse gases.

16. Univ of Mn

has accepted my wife and I in their medical study/ body donation program.
Remains not used get cremated, then ashes buried....

17. All options are on the table

18. Hefty bag, south 40 for me......abandoned well....it's all good.

Somebody else may care, but once I turn out the last light, I'm done......

19. I'm not going anywhere yet

I am committed to outliving the SOB's who have slighted me over the years. I'm going to live deep into my 90's until I have the smug satisfaction of knowing those pricks are dead.

After that, I don't give a rat's ass what happens to my body. Chop, plant, burn, sink, feed to dogs - makes no difference. I just want my vengence!

21. Check out green burials

No embalming, no casket, no monument. Just a nice natural burial. There are standards for the locations but I'm not sure there is a nationwide organization to enforce those.

I've thought about getting my farm approved as a green burial site. It certainly would cut down on the possibility the place would be subdivided after I was gone!

22. there are several options...

23. I wanted to have my carcass laid out to be devoured by vultures

But my stick-in-the-mud neighbors got all weird about it.
