When you die, what are you picking?
As a kid I mostly thought everyone was buried, so I've always had that expectation. Recently found out my wife (and her parents) prefer cremation. I can also sense @Copper 's indifferent reaction to this!

I wanna be wrapped around a tree ball, just like the piggies in Speaker For The Dead.

I would go for burned, but Mrs George insists otherwise.
This is, for me, (cough) not a hill to die on.

I like buried, my wife burned.
I want the whole funeral package.
The church was just across the street from school. As an altar boy we got out of class to serve at weekday funerals.
So I always liked funerals, I went to a lot of them.

Probably cremated. That is most common thing in Taiwan.

So then, burned and buried? Or just buried?

I should have said they were both burned and buried. That’s probably what I’d do unless Mayla has strong feelings about it.

Mulched, then spread as an all natural fertilizer over a field of kale. I will live on through the lives of crunchy moms across the country.

Wonder if "let me float in the outer space" will be an affordable option during my lifetime.
Srsly though, it won't be all of me because I think organ donation is a sensible idea and there is a chance that by the time I go I may still have parts that are worth harvesting. :man-shrugging:

Buried.
I'm freaking 6'4".* It would be a terrible insult to the zombie community if I didn't make my body available post-mortem.
*maybe 6'3" with my shoes off as @jon-nyc would be fond of pointing out but I don't give a shit, the point is, I'd make a good zombie.
You're killin' me.
