I'd like to be cremated and it would really be cool to have some of my ashes shot into space to orbit the Earth.

I want to dedicate my body to science, so then future generations can learn from it, and I can help make the world better even after my death.

Every option just scares me to think about. But I can't see myself wanting to be in a box in the ground.

Cremation.

There is a surfer tradition that I would like to have for my service. Being that I am half Hawaiian it is important to me to be memorialized the same as my ancestors. For some reason the name of it is setting off the filters. So I'll put it in my comments. After, a wake at my house where people have such a grand time that they are found in the morning asleep in my yard.

I won't be there to care, at the time, so it really doesn't matter. Right now, though, I think I'd like to be buried, without being embalmed. Fast and simple would suit me just fine.

By that time, I won't need my body anymore so I won't care, however, my wife informs with me that there will be a party in my honor instead of a funeral. Afterwards, I will be cremated and my ashes will reside in a clean Mountain Dew bottle before they are spread throughout the Grand Canyon. I will see that canyon one way or another! At least I get to go out partying!

It's not important to me what they do with my remains. I just don't want anyone to have any kind of ceremony on my behalf - no wake, no funeral, none of that.

About a week ago I went to a celebration of life party.. I love that more people are going that route than funerals and wakes :) big party :)

The whole concept of funerals is a morbid and depressing. I do my best to avoid funerals. If people get together and drink at celebration of life parties, that's more my speed.
