My first preference would be to have all my flesh butchered, minced up, and mixed with a batch of pork mince.

Failing that, and more likely, I want to be cremated, and have my ashes scattered over a field of wheat that is used to make hovis, or kingsmill.

I really want to re-enter the food chain post-mortem!!!

I want to be preserved like Lenin and worshipped as a god.

I want to be painted yellow and used as a flag for three hundred years by a civilisation of polytheisiastical mice when I die.

I want to be preserved like Lenin and worshipped as a god.

You know they're trying to move his dead ass out of Moscow now right?

Me? I'd just like a simple burial, nothing fancy. Have a headstone that says, "I may not have been God...But I damn well tried!" :D

Just kidding!

i dont really care, ill be dead it wont matter to me

I want to be preserved like Lenin and worshipped as a god.

Are you a butcher? If you can turn me into pork mince, I'll make sure my decendants worship you!!!

I want to be painted yellow and used as a flag for three hundred years by a civilisation of polytheisiastical mice when I die.

300 years, that's so random a time period!!!

I want to be freeze dried. That way I end up a powder that is quickly reabsorbed into the food chain. Very environmentally friendly and cheap.

Organ Doner then cremation

I can fake it.

Except all the energy it would take to do that to something the mass of a human :p

I want to be burned ::mutters; burn burn burn burn burn::

Except all the energy it would take to do that to something the mass of a human :p

Actually it's not that energy intensive and is done with liquid nitrogen.

I can fake it.

Then It's a deal!!!

Actually it's not that energy intensive and is done with liquid nitrogen.
But keeping the volume of nitrogen at liquid tempeture between freezings or consolodating it in the first place is HUGLY energy expensive

Not if you do it in outer space!!!

True ... if you get out of earths atmosphere then it gets easier

But transport costs go way up :) If I remember right payload price was 2k per lb on the space shuttle :) and the energy costs not to mention the huge exhaust output of the shuttle is hardly "envyromentaly" frendly lol

300 years, that's so random a time period!!!


Where as being a yellow flag for polythesiastical mice is a perfectly sensible and entirely predictable idea?

No, but 300 years man that's weird

Which completely glosses over the environmental impact of energy consumption … it is just a sales brochure . you figure the easy and cheep way would be burial without embalming fluids (not as “quick” but nor does it require human inputted energy)

No, but 300 years man that's weird

Fair enough. I thought that was the only feasible part of the plan, to be honest.

I won't die, so this question doesn't apply to me.

cool if that was the only feasable part you could spend 300 years not being a yellow flag for polytheistic mice :)

No immortals on this thread please :)

Yeah, we'll just have rotting, decomposing corpses that close to the oxygenated surface of the ground and surely we will avoid epidemics.

/rolls eyes

Anyway, freeze drying is not as energy intensive as other ways of burial - for instance cremation - and is a lot more environmentally friendly. You are grossly over-estimating the amount of energy needed to do this. In fact, a Swedish government report is expected to recommend that this method be used above all others in the future.

Oops! I apologise. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some eternal brooding to attend to.

Compared to cremation yes ... and even with embalming fluid they still decompose :p just after the funeral lol

You apparently didn't read about it. People are buried too deep in the ground for them to decompose in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner - embalming fluid or not. This new freezedrying method allows for burial in superficial, mulch producing strata of the earth. Oh, and:

"The ecological burial is energy consuming as for the production of the liquid nitrogen. It is however not produced for this purpose since it´s a residue when producing oxygen."

Thus the liquid nitrogen used is the liquid nitrogen that would have been created in the industry anyway.

Hey, since the people we bury don't get used as fertilizer by plants, will graveyards become vast oil reserves someday?

lol, yeah in about 500,000 years.

lol, yeah in about 500,000 years.
Ok, so I have plenty of time to buy graveyards in anticipation of becoming a wealthy oil man.

I was wondering a while back whether you could electrolyse yourself, but i reckon you'd just melt, so... I'd go with an Anglo-Saxon burial.

I want to be painted yellow and used as a flag for three hundred years by a civilisation of polytheisiastical mice when I die.

What are you like 7?
If you're going to try to use big words at least try spelling them correctly first so you don't just look like an idiot.
First - civilization is spelled with a z, but I can look past that as a simple
mistake in typing.
Second - polytheis...I think I'll throw in a few more vowels and a consonant
and call it good... what f---ing word are you trying to type?
Try polytheistic - no "al" at the end. I really have no idea how you
managed to mess up that word so badly. You threw in 5 extra
letters!
Third - do you even know what polytheistic means?
I'm not asking for much here. The next time you feel like using a word over seven letters long try pulling out a dictionary or better yet do yourself a favor and grab your keyboard firmly with both hands and slam it against your head repeatedly. This should nullify any urges to attempt using big words to sound impressive.

Luckily for an immortal such as myself, time is a meaningless concept. So it looks like I'll be riding high on fuel derived straight from your decomposed bodies into my S.U.V.

*created FOR industry ... liquid nitrogen is rarly a byproduct (hydrogen is sometimes but collection and consentration take a LOT of energy) so they would have to make MORE not like you are using something that is already there ... you have to collect it anyways
Quit reading the damn brochure and look for some other sources :p

I won't die, so this question doesn't apply to me.

Haven´t you seen the picture "Highlander"? Can´t you hear the wonderful voice of Freddie Mercury "Who wants to live forever". Actually, it´s quite ironic that Freddie Mercury sung that song. A person who´s a legend by now and in fact immortal.

So, what about my wishes? Cremation is the only way in my opinion. And after that I hope I´ll live on in the minds of my friends and family.

You seem to lack insight into Sweden's chemical industry, as well as Sweden's standing when it comes to environmentally friendly energy resources.

Quit reading the damn brochure and look for some other sources :p

Oh, you mean like the report done by Jönköping town before they decided to support this method and build a facility?

It seems to me that you are the one ignorant of this method and are just disagreeing to be argumentative. There is no other explanation to your feeble attempts at talking about something you don't seem to have educated yourself about.

I probably want to be cremated.

Check your own dictionary, pedant. Both are s and z are acceptable
Let it be, huh. The post was hardly a doctoral thesis, it was just fun.

Both spellings are acceptable. Find a dictionary.

A religion of many Gods. You patronizing halfwit.

Otherwise, you are left looking like an unexcusable buffoon and also a worthless spelling fascist of the highest order. Given that this topic is entirely facetious, and hardly of any importance, I feel perhaps you over-reacted just a tiny bit, however since you've only succeeded in making youself look a total moron I see no need to pursue this any further.

I'd like my body to undergo explosive decompression and then be shot into the sun's corona.

Whenever people check out the aurora borealis, they'll know those little ions of solar wind contain little pieces of me saying hello.

Good God no!!
If there's one thing I've learned from observing cadavers it's to never give your body to science, EVER. First year medical students will be maiming your dead corpse for decades after your death. And when you've been all scalpelled out you get thrown into biohazard for incineration.

Or wheeled round at rag week, and bits of you get left on the bus. Or it Gerry 'Plonker' Hammerington-Smythe's sister's bed for a laugh.

I want to be cremated as quickly as possible, without any kind of ceremony or anything similar. I'm not sure what I want to happen with my ashes afterwards, though. If I can't think of anything good to do with my ashes, they can just be put in some random place. (it's not like I really care)

One idea that would be really fun, but not too nice is to send a little of it along with weird letters to people. For example: "I might be dead, but that doesn't prevent me from visiting you! In fact, if you are reading this, I'm all over your fingers! Mwahahaaa!". Or: "Just in case you want to keep in touch with me, here's a little of what's left!". I don't think it's a good idea, but it sure would be hilarious...

not as if hes gonna know

Heyall

What yall doing? :D

Cremation ideally, but - since I don't believe in any afterlife and since I'll be dead - I ultimately don't really care. If it's easier for all concerned than cremation, they can dump me on a rubbish tip or burn me themselves for all I really care! ;)

Organ donor, Muslim burial, Irish wake.

Cremated then shot out of a cannon. Hey, if Hunter S. Thompson can do it, why can't I?

Organ donor, Muslim burial, Irish wake.
Muslim burial, Irish wake? Wouldn't the muslim mourners be put off by the drinking?

Muslim burial, Irish wake? Wouldn't the muslim mourners be put off by the drinking?

Meh ... they'd probably not participate - provided any Muslims would mourn my death.

I'm thinking that my burial wouldn't be so much of a concern as what happened afterwards. I'd rather be buried with my body covered by ice cold beer, and afterwards I'd donate a part of my fortune to free pizza and 40 cases of beer to supply anyone who feels like coming to the funeral. And drinking will be allowed during the eulogy.

not as if hes gonna know

Yes good point. It's more dignified than feeding worms I suppose.

not in mortuary school. we embalmed the hell out of them. and actually cremated them in the crematorium.

I want Occ to make me pretty when I die:).

I made no spelling errors, you autofellating coprophage.

I see you found a thesaurus...and yes you did make spelling errors you masturbating feces eater.


Polytheisiastical IS a word. Dumbass.

Really?? Because I have NEVER seen polytheisiastical in a dictionary, EVER!
I searched dictionary.com, google, and hotbot just too make sure and... NOTHING!!

You obviously were attempting to appear articulate and threw in some extra letters, therefore a misspelling OR you used a word that does not exist!

Polytheism: The worship of or belief in more than one god.
Polytheistic: adj : worshipping or believing in more than one god
Polytheistical: Of or pertaining to polytheism
Polytheistiastical: ? Love to know the definition of that.

Next time you decide to use a copious amount of prodigious words to confer an aura of articulateness you need to remember that it only makes you look like a jackass. Put the thesaurus away and use normal words. Nobody is impressed that you can use the words autofellating and coprophage in a sentence except maybe all your little seven-year-old friends.

You really chose to spend your first posts on this forum attacking someone else's use of big words, while using the wrong form of "to/too"? Way to make a good impression.

Well, I'm an organ donor, so that'll happen first. After that.. One of three options:

1. A viking funeral would be quite awesome. Without the virgin, though. Nothing should have to die but me.

2. The be buried in the side of a mountain/canyon, facing the sunrise.

3. Buried in a shallow ditch, nude. Rejoin nature the most natural way I can think without people tripping over my body.

I see you found a thesaurus...and yes you did make spelling errors you masturbating feces eater.

Some of us don't need a thesaurus to know what words mean. Also, some of us are capable of creating our own insults rather than rephrasing those used against us.


Really?? Because I have NEVER seen polytheisiastical in a dictionary, EVER!

Then I suggest you get a proper dictionary. I've got a degree in philosophy and the term was used by my professors. Trawl through the complete Oxford English dictionary and you'll find all sorts.

Polytheistiastical: ? Love to know the definition of that.

Hence why I told you to buy a decent dictionary. Preferably one which shows you civilisation can be spelt with an S OR a Z.

Next time you have trouble reading long words, go and find an adult who can help you with them. And next time you post, maybe try and have some form of useful point behind it rather than simply trying to cause arguments and quibbling (incorrectly) over spelling. Nobody is impressed by a fool who complains about others using words he can't understand.
