Way to go, Intp

[ballaxe]

How would you rather be treated after you die?

I'd say, for now, I have no special preferences.

 

[Pyropyro]

Go out like a Viking!

 

[Ex-User (5841)]

If it's still legal I'd like to be cremated on my own property and just leave the site untouched (assuming I own several acres, of course. A demonstration in succession). If not, then buried in the same manner/place. Plan C is the ol' cremation, bury ashes in the back yard, and plant a tree on top deal.

I simply don't believe I should be lumped into the same group with other dead people based only on the fact that I'd be dead.

 

[Duxwing]

Ways to go:

--Blown to smithereens, preferably with an unusual and unusually powerful explosive.
--Burned to ashes and scattered in a symbolically and thematically appropriate place.
--Buried in a symbolically and thematically appropriate place.
--Stuffed or otherwise taxidermied.
--Donated to science.
--Donated to medicine.

Note that not all of these options are mutually exclusive.

[Hayyel]

Donated to science because fuck graves, no one learns anything from them. At least this way my dead body will teach people what NOT to do, because I'm sure I will die in a stupid way :-)

Thermite? Technically not an explosive but... come on, it'd be awesome!

I would want my organs to be donated to science / medicine. As for the remnants, in order of preference:
A) Hurled into the Sun
B) Tossed into a lava lake
C) Cremated and scattered to the winds

Absolutely not buried. Graveyards are a waste of precious space, that could be used for landfills or something. Hey, that gives me an idea...

Yes! Hurled into the sun! To the sun, to the sun, to the sun sun sun, to the sun, to the sun, to the sun sun sun, to the sun, to the sun, to the sun sun sun, to the suuun, to the sun sun sun!

[Cognisant]

Why die?

Spoiler

 

[Happy]

I'd like to be sent into space. Whole.

 

[Jennywocky]

I'd like to be sent into space. Whole.

Sometimes I have weird fantasies of going on a one-way trip into the depths of space even while alive. At least to Mars. But further, a la Contact.

Maybe they can stick my corpse/ashes on the next Pioneer model. That would probably be for the best, since I doubt we'll have timely interstellar travel by then.

Why die?

Cool pic.

 

[Nezaros]

Skulls for the Skull Throne.

 

[Solitaire U.]

You can toss my lifeless body into a filthy dumpster in a grimy, urine-stained alley for all I give a fuck.

Or dump my corpse on the shoulder of I-15 for the coyotes to devour.

It makes no difference to me.

 

[Valentas]

Do mourn for me as in "The Big Lebowski"

Oh come on, if you're gonna have that attitude, you may as well have your body used to freak the shit out of some people. Thrown off the Empire State Building, or left in the walk-in freezer of a restaurant.

 

[Chad]

Go out like a Viking!

I second this motion.

If not donate to science and when they are done burn the rest I don't need it anymore.

 

[Deleted member 1424]

I really don't want to have a funeral.

 

[doncarlzone]

Ideally I'd like to be frozen, just in case science can wake me up in a few thousand years

 

[Chad]

I really don't want to have a funeral.

Personally, I vote for a celebration of memories. However, I am sure if my death is any time in the near future this will not happen.

 

[kvothe27]

I would suggest freezing me or employing taxidermy to keep my likeness and then have people worship me as though I'm god and will bring the Ultimate Theory to the world when I'm resurrected. I would prefer the worshiping services to be something like that from the Ten Commandments when they were worshiping the golden calf. However, the Ultimate Theory will just make everyone go crazy and start devouring each other, so my resurrection would be for intellectual masochists. It would be the crazy N's who would try to do what is necessary ( preferably some kind of fucked up blood magic) to resurrect me.

The sensors wouldn't like this too much, however, and an epic struggle with robots, jetpacks(that only NT's understand how to use), dinosaurs (for the hell of it), the Apache, Nathan Drake, the Ice Princess of Nazogooliathika, the Death Star, and light sabers would ensue. But, I think I would just really, really, really like it if a big, epic space battle happened because of my death.

That, or any one of Solitaire U.'s suggestions would work as well.

 

[NormannTheDoorman]

Burn everything off of my body and just leave the skeleton.


Attach my skeleton to some contraption that makes it dance.

 

[GodOfOrder]

Turn my head into one of those singing bass things on a wall... or;

1. launch my body into the sun
2. into space in general
3. burry a bit of me in every country that isn't in africa
4. cremation via hydrogen bomb
5. sent flying at maximum speed into a net of thin piano wire... with a wood chipper awaiting me on the otherside

 

[RaBind]

Sent a drift in space in the direction, where I most likely will eventually get sucked into a black hole.

I had a daydream about being sent to the depths of the ocean on my deathbed (still alive, waiting to die), so I can adventure the unknown before my demise. Would be nice to see unknown deep sea creatures and other mysteries that lie await for their discovery.

Only problem with this is you wouldn't make it any further than 100m (328 ft) before you lost your marbles from nitrogen narcosis and decided you could breathe water...

Sorry to crush your dream. I'd suggest going with the space option.

 

[DelusiveNinja]

Leave it up to me and I don't really care about the body after I die unless....cognisant's idea is an option. I would probably leave that decision up to the one person I die loyal to. If I die loyal to anyone that is.

 

[tokoum]

Doesn't matter; I'll be dead. I'm an organ donor, though, because it isn't like I'll need them. I guess that I don't like the idea of people mourning me in an organized way like a funeral; I'd rather just go quietly.

 

[Brontosaurie]

i wish to be eaten but it's ok if my organs pass through somebody else first.

 

[Magus]

Don't know to be honest. Possibly shot off into deep space would be nice. Dressed as Buzz Lightyear.

 

[Duxwing]

Also, maybe taxidermied. Pack me full of sand and put me on display somewhere.

Have you signed up for Mars One yet?

Body gets donated to medicine / science by default. The rest of it, burn it or burry it or do something fancy, doesn't really matter to me. Hell, if you're all REALLY hungry, you can even eat me for all I like.

(once i'm dead ofcourse. And it'll be shitty meat. You'll wish nobody ever complained about the horse. )
