I don't care what happens to my body when I die. I believe the spirit's gone by then, like getting out of a knackered car. However, if it was possible I would quite to be cremated so that my ashes can be blasted into space.

It's not really a decision I want coz I don't like either option so will let it upto whoever is around to make it for me. I think they can make ashes into diamonds now and turn them into a ring or something that sounds quite nice but don't like the burning bit.

I don't agree with the waking up burning being better than waking up buried alive.. it was fairly obvious from 9/11 that jumping from a skyscraper was preferable to burning to death in a fire

I want to be cremated and spread directly into the earth. i imagine the molecules in my bodying going up into the air in smoke, and the rest being put back into the earth.

I don't want to decompose. I don't want to become some rotting mess of human soup in a coffin.

I agree with this, anyone who has seen a dead body will know that Elvis has already left the building so to speak. I guess the thought that I could relate to ashes as ever having been the mind, body and soul of the person I loved is just absurd to me. Everyone to their own though and I do respect that people see it differently and everyones wishes should be respected

well not many took that option actually. But yeah, jumping off a huge building and dying instantly on impact probably is better than most other methods of death. In Japan its the most popular way to commit suicide. It's like you fly and then...splat!

I would opt for cremation basically for superstitious reasons. I have this thought that if I was buried that I may awake underground in my coffin with a load of insects eating away at my body, eww

See I like the idea of having a headstone but I'd also rather have my ashes scattered somewhere (like in David Bowie's coffee). So cremation for me.

But how can you be buried alive when your insides are cleaned out before burial?

Cremated. The more I think about it, the less appealing being buried sounds.
