What would you want done to your dead body?

Here's a question that I think most of you will have fun answering:

If it were legal to have your dead body disposed of in any way you wanted, how would you have it done? You can include anything you want done to the corpse, any special burial ceremonies, whatever you say goes. If you want, you could add the way you want to die, I don't care.

It can be a serious answer, or it can be something made up for the amusement of the readers.

I would like to be prepared as the main course at a banquet held in my honor. I was thinking something along the lines of being slow roasted over a low fire with lots of Ooga Booga barbeque sauce spread on for a nice glaze.

If it were possible Id just have my corpse dragged to the curb and let the city dispose of it same as any other refuse that has reached the end of it's service life. As things stand now I'll be cremated and i will hopefully finished a stainless steel boat I started making to carry my ashes many years ago. The boat should hold my ashes and (If my family has paid any attention whatsoever to my wishes) be set adrift at sea well out of sight of land and then the living should turn their backs and head back to land. My boat should stay afloat for about a half a day to a day before sinking depending on the sea's mood on that day.

I want my body to be harvested for usable organs for those who needs them, and the rest the scientists can have.
That way I can be of some service after I die too, and who could ask for more than that?

The problem with this question is that I don't get to experience the desired effect, so it is rather meaningless.

If I were able to look down upon my dead body, I would want it placed standing in the center of a clear fiberglass ball, then blown up.

Well, my fantasy has always been to be mummified. Im a HUGE egypt fanatic and I'm just fascinated by their myths and rituals. I am Christian, so it could cause a conflict, but its more of an interest than a spiritual thing. I'm sure it would be forgiven. :D

After all viable organs and tissues were harvested, I don't care what you do with it. It's an empty shell and has no further value. Hell, freeze dry me, then roll me and smoke me for all I care.

The whole burial thing is so much supersitition and takes up so much land. What, really, is the point? Not that religion needs a point, but still, why such a wasteful practice? And have you seen how people get anally raped at funeral parlors? Five grand for something you're gonna stick a corpse in a bury -- with PILLOWS INSIDE IT?!?

I realize that a death in the family is an obvious sense-shredder, and rightly so, but PILLOWS?!?

The Republicans today announced that they are changing their emblem from an elephant to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects their political stance:
A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you’re actually being screwed.

yeah, nothing like the smell of decomp in the morning, however since I will be dead and left to rot anyway, I might as well rot for a purpose. ;)

It's going to actually be cheaper to get my body to them than it would be to burn or bury me, so it's really a money saving venture if the thought of it irks you.

My husband is onboard with it, the legal stuff is basically to get my family to leave him alone about it, and in case he dies first so that they will leave my kids alone about it.

The thought of it doesnt irk me. The smell would if I was within 30 miles downwind I think.

Im surprised that the body farm doesnt pay for, and indeed handle the transportation of the volunteers itself in order to get the freshest and least handled, autopsied, refrigerated, or otherwise altered bodies that are available to study.

I suspect they might wish to be notified immediately upon your death so that they might intervene before the coroner does anything to your corpse that might skew your decomposition and render your data less useful than it might be.

Lets hope your arrival at the body farm is very far into the future in any case.

after you donate your organs you are pretty much useless for any traditional learning so "science" in the strict sense won't take you. However you can still donate what's left to the Body Farm, they will use whatever they can get, sometimes they just chop off your arm and leave it in a nonfunctioning deep freeze in 100F weather for 2 weeks, just to see what would happen to it. ;) You would still be educating people :D

After that, preferably cremation with Don't Stop Me Now by Queen played as the coffin (or alternative box) slides into the oven (I'm serious).

I want to be buried in a coffin with a lid, once again, on hydraulics, which will be buried so that the lid protrudes from the ground. The coffin must be no more than a metre from the path, with the feet pointing towards it. Set into the foot of the coffin will be a motion sensor attached to the hydraulic controls.

When an unsuspecting person walks past the coffin, they will trigger the motion sensor. The lid of the coffin will flip open, and my corpse will lurch from its resting place with an eerie moan.

I'd want part of my ashes to be interred in a regular grave so people would have something tangible (I've found that helps) and have the rest spread in some yet-to-be-determined beautiful, desert-y spot.

Now if I can just find a way to reduce myself to ashes without actually having to be burned, I'll be all set. :p

I want to be cremated and have my ashes and all evidence of my having existed disposed of in a vat of acid.

Deviled Gartref.

Boil until center is medium rare. Let cool, and fully peel. Scoop out contents and mix with Mayonnaise, sweet relish and lemon juice. Replace contents. Sprinkle with paprika. Serves 20.

I'd suggest substituting dill relish for sweet relish. Sweet relish and lemon juice don't get along all that well.

Dill is forbidden by my religious beliefs.

Matthew 23:23 "Woe to you teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices - mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law - justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former."

Yes, but you're not the one eating of your flesh. And I have no problems with dill. :-)

OK, fine. No desecration of the body about to be ingested with banned substances. Jeez. You'd've tasted better, though.

Trust me. When it comes to cooking, I'm no dill-ettante.
