OK, slow-ass night...

Just read Stiff - The Curious Life of Human Cadavers

Deals with all manners of historical, medical, criminal, and ethical uses of your "soul-craft"

How would you like to "disposed of"?

Buried?
Cremated?
Organ/Anatomy donor?
Mummified?
Shot out of a cannon?!

What Say You?

I have instructed that all my viable organs be donated for transplant. My liver is dying so it will be of no use to anyone. However, the rest of my parts are good to go. My corneas, kidneys, lungs, heart, and colon will give somebody a new lease on life or perhaps at least a better life.

Please donate your organs for transplant. You won't need them anymore.

Preserved in plastic like a scorpion with a Budweiser in my hand.

in a writing course i took a couple semesters ago, we read a story that was about the preping of bodies for burial.

the bodies are mutulated during the process. you won't be in one piece, your organs are sucked out of you. overall, it's a pretty awful process, and i sure as hell won't let anyone do that to my body or the bodies of any family members.

I am by no means an expert on life after death, but isn't it the soul that's resurrected? Unless you plan on assending into heaven, ala body and soul, then you don't need to worry about what happens to the body.

I'd like to donate whatever can save or enhance someone else's life, and then be cremated. I leave it up to the living where to spread my ashes.

Put me in a garbage can and set me out on the street.

Cremate me.

I want all of my useable organs to be harvested for transplant. After that I really dont care. Hell, they can just stand me over in the corner, I can stand them if they can stand me!

Well I can think of one 'organ' I'd like to donate, Lord know it didn't get enough use in this life time...

Use whatever of mine that is useable. After that's gone, suff what's left with explosives and blow it up. In the middle of a football field, to a packed stadium.

I've considered selling my cadaver rights to a medical school. The one that pays the most, of course!

After the med students have hacked up what's left to their heart's content, what's left over does get
packed up and buried in the usual manner...or cremated, as the case may be.

I haven't decided to actually DO that....just on the slightest chance that the soul never leaves the body and it always feels pain when someone is hacking on the body.

A nightmarish thought, yes....but can I really rule that possibility out?

Well buddy, when I die throw my body in the back,
And drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac.

I'm going to be a brain-eating zombie.

Harvest any usable pieces, then leave me out in the woods for the coyotes and birds and bugs.
I recycle everything, I even sniff my own farts!!

Organ donor, then cremation. No wake, no funeral, if my family/friends feel something must be done, then have a party with food and booze. My life is just a blink in time, and will probably have no lasting effect on the world. So when I go, just toast me and spread me out over the rockies with my father, and get on with life.

I don't want to be the center of attention when I'm alive, I sures the hell don't want to be when I die.

Organ doner.

I'd like to be stuffed and put in a coffee table, posed like I was trying to claw my way out.

That would be a riot.

Organ Donor

Then either cremation or stick a hambone up my ass and let the wild dogs drag me off.

Buried in a hand made wooden coffin, closed casket, grave side services at the most, and no embalming. When I'm pushing up daisies, I want to really be pushing up daisies.

We Buried Dad about 3 years ago and a local guy makes wooden caskets, and they're way cheaper than the fancy factory make things and aren't as "cold" looking.
