Well, harvest my organs if possible before loading.

I want my body to vaporized, along with those of a thousand betrayers, laughing in the triumph of justice as the impact fireball engulfs traitor's vessel...


In all seriousness, I would say donation to science or medical usage, and then burial or cremation of what's left. Really, by the time it becomes an issue, the important part of me will already be gone.

I am to be placed upon a mighty throne and carried around the world, as my armies burn it to ashes! Bow to your decomposing overlord!

A percentage of my life insurance will be devoted towards having my corpse droped into an active volcano. I want the entire world to have to breathe me

Harvest the useable parts. Fashion whats left into weapons to kill my enemies (assuming I can get enemies by my death :D ) with in whatever way my followers can come up with. Sure, a this will mean a lot of people will be impaled with my bones, but I'll leave it up to my followers to figure out how to kill someone with the remaining soft tissue that isn't useable for organ transplants.

In reality, I dont actually care, but I am a registered organ doner.

Cryogenic freezing. Future generations deserve to see me, though I shall wear boxer shorts to hide the shrinkage.

I'd like a red wood tree planted in my intestinal tract, and as it grows to use my decaying corpse as fertilizer. This part seriously

Nonseriously, I would like my body deposited in some tar pit nearby, and/or other fossil mediums, and have my fossilized corpse dug up millions of years later by the descendants of the intelligent cockroaches.

I'd have chosen cryogenics but not content to leave it to vagaries.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I'm sure about the latter.

Assuming I do die I'd like my organs removed and donated while the rest of my body is mummified and buried in a giant pyramid. Altruism and megalomania in one :)
