Some people swear by cremation, but this creates noxious fumes and is quite bad for the Earth's atmosphere. Some people love the idea of gorgeous 'preservation' work with formalehyde, make up and all the trimmings... but it doesn't decompose very well into the earth. Especially not with those lacquered coffins.
Some people get dumped at sea and like the idea of becoming shark food: there's nobility in that.
In the Muslim religion, the deceased has to be dispatched into the earth as soon as possible, forgoing the need for weird embalming practices...
Some rich enough would pay to be catapulted into orbit, thus ensuring mummification galore (for lack of CO2 and other pesky flesh-eating bacteria). The alternative to orbitting is cryogenisation. Brrrrr. How about creating a diamond from the carbon of your dead loved-one, as a keepsake for posterity (brrrrr again, double brrrrr, actually?)? lifegem
So... what's your choice (if you're lucky enough for it to be carried out, after all... you won't be there to enforce your wishes [8D])?
After my organs are harvested to help others, then I don't care what happens. Shoot me out of a cannon, take me skiing ala Weekend At Bernie's, it won't bother me.
