Buried or Cremated?

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

Always been cremation for me, but there is no option for that here in Greece atm.

Don’t fancy a hole in the ground.

[Family at War]

As my old dad used to say ' I'm not looking forward to either much!'

[Flashheart]

I want to be left out in the wild so animals can eat me.

Or donate my body to science. There's places that leave bodies to rot in fields so they can study what happens. That'll be cool.

[Bogus Dave]

Throw me in the trash

The other year when my mum was at her last ebb my sister asked her about funeral arrangements, my mums response 'I don't bloody care, its not as if will be there will I!'

So humanist cremation it was.

I agree with Horlock's mum. Go for the cheapest/whatever.

Anyway, reminds me of a song we did at a cubs thingy back in the day:

Have you ever seen the hearse go by?
And wonder what it's like to die
They wrap you up in a big white sheet
And drop you down about six feet deep
And all goes well for about a week
Until your coffin begins to leak
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
The worms play BINGO! in your snout
Your toes curl in and your eyes pop out
Your guts turn into sauerkraut
Your face it turns a sickening green
And puss pours out like whipping cream
Have you ever seen the hearse go by?
And wonder what it's like to die
.....
The morale of this story is, don't be buried, get cremated

I’m sure there’s a sect in India, I think, that hangs dead bodies from trees to get picked clean and then they bury the bones.

With my health problems my funeral is all sorted and paid for ready to go so I don't leave the wife a £5,000 bill for a basic funeral.

Gonna be cremated not sure about where to put the ashes yet though, as most are aware my dads ashes are under the goal frame at the County Ground near the Town End about 4 foot down, so I may do that too.

I tried donating my body to medical science but was told they have more than enough so was unable to do it.

Never fancied being 6 foot under inside a box.

Burial at sea Aud?

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

Yeah. I’ve got a plan in the UK. Not sure what happens if I croak here, though.

Burial at sea Aud?

Joking apart, I do quite fancy that. Something like this

[Abrahammer]

Firmly in the “whatever is cheapest” camp

Turn me into dog food for all i care, I won’t know about it

I’m sure there’s a sect in India, I think, that hangs dead bodies from trees to get picked clean and then they bury the bones.

Zoroastrian's as a faith used to have a Tower of Silence, an open tower, a bit like a Martello Tower as seen on the south coast. The tower was open at the top and the deceased were laid out inside to decompose/ be fed upon by vultures etc.

Me? I fancied recycling but that isn't yet an option so I'm going for Direct Cremation.

Not just yet mind.

It’s all about timing for me. I don’t want to check out over here, yet I don’t want to go back to the UK any time soon.
