Have you decided what you want to happen after you die?

Kind of a morbid topic, but I'm curious to see what other people think. Where I live, the majority of the time it's a standard funeral service, and burial in a casket. Only once have I been to a funeral where the deceased was cremated. After that I started thinking about what I wanted. I have trouble imagining my body rotting away in the ground. It just doesn't sound like a very dignified way to end your life. I also don't like viewing the deceased in the casket at the funeral service. Having people carry the casket, and viewing the body seem more tramatizing for me. The cremation funeral service just seemed a little more peaceful. There was no focus on the dead body at the front of the room. To me it almost seemed like a better memorial - because the body is already physically gone. So you really spent your time focusing on memories. So at this point in time I think I would prefer to be cremated. I'm not sure what I would want done with my remains though (ex: sprinkle them somewhere, have them buried, etc). How about everyone else? Have you decided what you want done after you die? Have you made your wishes known to your family? Do they agree with your wishes, or has there been any objection?
