I like the way you guys think! the economics and the environmental aspects are enough to say "well done please" besides you are crammed up around people all of your life, why would you want to be laid in the ground next to a bunch of people! spread those ashes and be free!

Of course you'd have the best answer!

Myself...give the rest of my (semi-) functional organs to those who may need 'em.

Burn the rest of me...and toss my ashes into some volcano so I can terrorize others at a later date.

Yep...

I don't want to be buried either; I want to have my ashes laid in the location(s) that is most personal to me. Family members may visit a (grand)parent's grave for the first few years, maybe a decade, but after that it's natural for the visits to be forgotten and infrequent. And do you think successive generations will visit? Of course not; they didn't even know you.

People are free to have my organs and then let me go into the wind...

Of course I want to have enough fun between now and my end that my liver is no longer any good to anyone.

I like the stuffed idea. Positioned sitting, legs crossed, relaxing. Constant reminder of all of the great contributions I did while living.............
