What should happen to YOUR body when you die?
Moderator: Alyrium Denryle
Donate whatever is usable to medicine, the leftovers to science, and then burn me.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

On the off chance that I become filthy fucking rich and/or conquer the world, I think a new great pyramid would be appropriate, maybe somewhere in the midwest where it's flat and can be seen for MILES around. Oooooh, and topped with gold! With my body perfectly preserved in an enormous crystal so that I can be an inspiration to all those who would follow in my footsteps.
Realistically, I want my organs donated to science and the rest of me to be cremated, with my ashes spread at the lake where I spent my summers growing up. I also intend to leave enough money behind to have a proper send off, with my friends/family getting drunk and telling stories about me all night.

Clever and witty signature to be inserted here, just as soon as I think of one.

If it becomes possible, of course you shall all become my unliving army. But unless technology advances far enough, I'm afraid you're all going to have to be my shabti in a more archaic fashion.Akhlut wrote:So, no monoliths or people being encased in metal armor with warscythes with you in a Necrodermis?

If you die first, can I wear you as jewelry?SirNitram wrote:Compress me into a diamond.
My plan's always been to be cremated and scattered over Hawk's Nest Overlook.
Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

If I can't avoid the whole death thing I would like my body to be embalmed and placed in a masoleum for public display, like the communists do (you know those communists...they keep their cabbage soggy and their Great Helmsmen crisp).

Besides the obvious cryogenics answer, I demand to donate my organs to science and be stripped of my flesh, which will be burned and compressed into a diamond which will be imbedded in the forehead of my skull. My entire body would be fosillized, so that millions of years in the future, alien paleontologists can see me in a kickass pose, double flicking them off.

It shall be resurrected, obviously! Resurrected by my evil followers of doom! And then the forces of darkness will applaud me as I stride through the gates of hell, carrying humanity's head on a pike! As long as there is evil in the hearts of men, or in the hearts of other creatures should men die out, or even if the only evil that's left in the universe exists as an itsy bitsy gene in a primordial bacteria, I shall never be truly gone! Mark my words!What should happen to YOUR body when you die?
Or actually, that sounds pretty tiresome. Just build a great temple over my sacred remains after a few resurrections. Make sure to make it nice though, so people will pay good money to visit. If they pay real good, they can be allowed to smell my holy and dried out femur!

Cremation with a simple funeral followed by a rockin' party. I want people to remember me well and what better way to jam that memory into there brain than with such a party?

I'm looking at either being cryogenically frozen, with the tech hopefully having advanced a bit.
Failing that, I want to be stuffed, and placed in a closet in my old to scare the people buying it into making it a haunted house attraction.

I want a solemn ceremony. I also want my will to say for the coffin to be secretly rigged with fireworks and noisemakers. It'd certainly give them something to remember once I'm lowered down there and the sad music reaches a crescendo.
In all seriousness while that would be fun it'd be a bit too assholish so I'd probably just say "Whatever you want to do with it as long as they don't lie at the eulogy."

I would donate it to science but it will probably be so ravaged by years of diabetes that it won't be very recognizable.
