Well it
would be quick LT and not lingering,but I don't fancy that either,perhaps I can opt to be stuffed !!!!

There's no chance of being buried or burned alive here anyway because most people get embalmed first

If you hear screams in a cemetery, surely the first thing you do would be to locate the screams? Like this fucking Jesus bloke heard screams and just shrugged it off.

I also blame the parents for being idiots and not taking her to the hospital.

Before they bury you in this country they embalm you. Once you're full of formaldehyde, no one's going to be screaming.

also from that link I see that Jim Watt's daughter Michelle has died age 38



TV presenter Michelle Watt has been found dead in her home at the age of 38.

Police discovered her body on Wednesday evening after being called to an address in Airth, near Falkirk.

"There are no suspicious circumstances and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal," a police spokesman said.

The former 60 Minute Makeover host had also worked on programmes including the Scottish dating show Club Cupid and STV's The Hour.

They embalm most people unless they're specifically asked not to by the family. It preserves the body for the wake/funeral etc

I thought they only did that if they couldn't find a cause of death?

When I am cremated the fire will last for weeks

Ask to be left in bed for 6 months Kaz just to make sure you've really snuffed it.

No, most people are embalmed because usually it's atleast 3 days after death before the body is buried/cremated and a body will start to decompose very soon after death

It's preserving the corpse chemically. Most embalmed bodies are neither cremated or buried in this country - they're propped up in the House of Lords.

Horrible

[mizzy25]

My body is going to medical science, more people should think about this.

[lewis111]

That's probably my biggest fear

I was thinking this^^^^

At least this way you'll know you're dead!

But then i've always wanted to be cremated and scattered around the Yorkshire Dales.

I remember watching a tv programme years ago where people signed their bodies to medical science, but the body was put in an area to decompose naturally, this way scientists could see what happens naturally (i'm sure there were many bodies in the same area) They could see flies and their stages of life as well as other insects, what part all life plays in decomposing bodies in what happens naturally.
