not now obviously, but when you kick the bucket?
I've always had an absolute fear of being buried alive(I can't even watch that Kill Bill scene). So there's no way I'm being stuck in a coffin. It's burn baby burn for me. Plus cremation is so much more enviromentally friendly. We can't have all these coffins and bodies crammed into our earth everywhere. Plus gravestones and cemeteries. Just reduce us to ashes and stick them in a jar or whatever. My sister said just last week that she doesn't want cremation in case the heat wakes her up and she's burned alive. I said, bitch if you wake up in a coffin it'll be a far more unbearable drawn out death. I'm absolutely sure that some people have somehow regained consciousness in a coffin and then slowly suffocated. But how would we ever know? So now my sister wants to be buried with a mobile phone just in case. :/ so which would you prefer? VOTE NOW! Last edited by Zippy; 05-09-2011 at 01:07 AM. |

Cremated.
Mainly because I don't want digging up in a few hundred years by the Time Team and have everyone thinking I was some murdered middle aged woman with no identity. |

Hmmm..the real question is would you rather be burned alive, or buried alive
I would rather be cremated. I dislike the thought of just lying under the ground rotting and being basically worm food

Probably cremated, though I wouldn't be too keen on being mistaken for coffee granules.

wasn't there a case just recently of a woman who woke up in her coffin at the church...then died of shock!
I shouldn't laugh but it was better for her to wake up there than when she was buried 6 feet under. But it just shows that not everybody is truly dead when pronounced as such. |

I don't adhere to any spiritual doctrines or beliefs that my dopey, trivial existence is somehow sacred beyond the love my family and friends of likewise existence have bestowed upon me so I would love for my remains to be disposed in a really daft, self indulgent way and that can only mean chucking my dead ass in the big body boiler.
I'm not sure what my method of choice would be yet. Tupac Shakur has already done the smoking the ashes thing. The blasting of ashes into space thing has been done as well. Maybe someone could be on hand to snort dead Stu up their nose or something. |

Personally I would prefer not to have need of either a gravedigger or a crematorium.
As freddie Mercury asked, who wants to live forever? I'll tell you who.... ME! As for preferences in the likely demise of me, doesnt bother me, I will be dead, if I aint before the post mortem, I will be after it. Besides am an organ donor, so not sure life without a heart lungs liver and kidneys would be that much fun. Last edited by Shasown; 05-09-2011 at 01:49 AM. |

Cremated for me. No way you can wake up alive then, and if it was in the middle of the cremation process then you wouldn't last long I'd imagine. Saves space too and my family can do whatever they want with my ashes afterwards as I'm not too bothered - wont be around to have it effect me anyway.

Even if you did somehow wake up alive having been buried you'd only last a few minutes anyway before you died because there's so little air. I think I'd rather be buried, not for religious reasons or anything, I just don't like the thought of having my body stuffed in a crematorium and reduced to a few ashes

I want to be cremated definitely, the plan is that whoever dies first between me and Gav will keep the others ashes till they die then our ashes would be mixed together and scattered (awwwwwwwww)

My friend wants her ashes to be mixed with paint and for someone to paint a picture with it, it's kind of cool but a bit creepy at the same time, I wouldn't fancy having that picture hanging in my house
