Friday OT #1: Whatcha Gonna Do?

I'd love a Blackfish-from-GOT style viking funeral, but probably will end up cremated.
I always wanted to donate my body to science, but the wifey isn't down with that. She makes good points though, do I really want some college kids playing around with my dead body?
I'm a big scuba diver fan, and they do a lot of underwater art cemeteries for people to dive in the Caribbean. Basically get cremated, mix you up with some concrete or whatever they make their art out of, and drop you in the sea. Seems cool to me.

Cremation for sure. And I'm adamant about spreading the ashes. I get that some people like the urn, but I always think about the fact that, eventually, you end up in a box in some great-grandkids attic.
At that point, I don't think you're really going to care much.
And you'd be providing a much needed asset to students. (Source: daughter in Med school)
I'm coming around to cremation because of how much land is taken up by cemeteries.
Cremation. Open casket funerals are creepy, and they never look like they did in life. Don't want that to be the last image of me for my loved ones.
This reminded me of the Faith No More song RV.
I'm a swingin' guy
Throw a belt over the shower curtain rod
And swing---
Toss me inside a hefty
And put me in the ground
I don’t see a need for an expensive funeral either so most likely cremation for me.
Well I haven't decided yet, but at my memorial service I want the ISU fight song to be the last song played and a hand out for anyone there that doesn't know the words so they can sing along.
I do think getting cremated and loaded into fireworks and set off for a nice display (or maybe just in a big Chrysanthemum shell) would be kind of cool.

This is a sweet idea. I might consider that. Or maybe do cremation and mix my ashes w/ the pets.
Planning on cremation. I see no point in the expense of a casket and actual burial. The idea of a simple headstone at the rural family cemetery is probably something that will happen (to be near my dad's eventual headstone). My ashes I want released at Sea Ranch, California. If I can't (ever afford to) live there while I'm alive, I'll make sure I spend eternity there instead.
I want my remains to be bricked up Cask of Amontillado-style in our basement. Then throw some random stuff in there with me like a ping pong paddle, a copy of Field and Stream and a Rubik's Cube. It would make for a weird investigation one day when I'm discovered.
I was highly amused by what they did with Hunter S. Thompson.

For me personally, cremation followed by scattering my ashes in the wilderness of the Northwoods of MN.
With a bang: Friends say goodbye to Dr. Gonzo
It was a farewell, but far from solemn, as friends and admirers said goodbye to Hunter S. Thompson.
