Have you chosen your graveyard or decided what to do with your dead body.

It is known that there are people who what their body burnt, others may want to bury. There are people who want their body buried in particular place or near or with their beloved ones. Sometimes there would be quarrels among the relatives on these burial issues of death bodies. Some would like to donate their body to medical studies. Have you decided what to do without your body?

Actually I already purchased what is needed if ever I die earlier. I do no want anybody to have a problem regarding this. I do not want to be cremated. I want everybody to visit me also from time to time.

I wanted to be buried so that my relatives can visit me. I don't want to be cremated.

Oh! I wish they would load my body on board a space ship that would be sent out of the solar system to far and beyond. But then, I could not possibly afford such an arrangement. May be I would like to donate my body for use by medical students for their studies and after that they can do whatever they want. I don't care.

I've thought of it a little, but not too seriously. I don't know if I'd want to be cremated. . . People tend to think of that process as a clean-cut, done-deal type of thing. . . It's not as pretty as you might think. In countries like India, where they don't normally use modern or advanced methods of cremation, you can see the bodies actually burning, not hidden or concealed. The flesh melts off your body, I think. I would assume that this would look very gruesome. As for traditional Western burial, I think that is gruesome and unsightly as well. A decomposing body is not a pretty sight either, I'd wager. Medical studies or organ donations? I can just imagine them cutting and detaching parts. . . very gruesome also. See, so everything has its faults. . . I can't decide!

This is a kind of question that I would prefer to avoid. Although this is very unrealistic, I just prefer to say we live whatever we can (sorry for being vague).

We have been telling our daughter that we want to be cremated when we die. I guess, it would be lonely in our graves if our daughter is not here to visit us on All Souls Day. But kidding aside, i am lately thinking of donating my good body parts to those who needs it like my eye or heart. The question is, will my body parts be still good for donation when the time comes?

There is lots and lots more years to go I sure of that. Donating parts of body for those who need I feel it will give some goodness to the soul.

When I die, I want to be buried immediately or be cremated. I don't want to be a burden to my family getting through a long burial which is a common practice here in our country. We also already acquired a graveyard lot in a private cemetery.

When I die I wish to be buried and I wouldn't want to be cremated. I would like to go into a coffin in a quiet graveyard. I wouldn't want to donate my body to medical studies. I am very clear about these ideas. A person never knows when he or she will die. I lost very much blood after my baby daughter was born and as a result the consultant said that I was going to die. That made me very upset and really scared. I wanted to live so very much indeed and I slowly got better over the next 8 weeks time. I was weak and felt faint very much of the time.
