Cremation or Bury?,which one have you decide?

I actually do think about this at times. I know I will not be in the body anymore but I just cannot have myself burned into ashes-I hate heat and so I have to be buried. I know it sounds silly but its just not me to be cremated.

Neither. I'm donating my body to science.

@amadeo This is some thing we have to decide.In my religion it is cremation.

We were also thinking cremation. It is cheaper and we do not want a service either. which will save money.

Burial here.

In our religion, we must be buried.

Always a tough issue, but I do not think I would want to be stuck in one place. Probably cremated and ashes thrown in the ocean or something. Could end up in many places that way.

I've told my family if they put me in the ground I would haunt them forever. I want my ashes spread around the Adirondack Mountains and if anyone need to be near me, they can enjoy mother nature at the same time.

Cremation is the only way to "go."

My husband and I have decided on cremation as well. Our sons know our wishes.

I am a Hindu and we are cremated. I like it that way too - siva

Cremation. I find cemeteries rather barbaric and creepy.

I have decided I want to be cremated and turned into a tree. I think that is the best way to go. I don't see the use of rotting in a box in the ground when I can give life to a big beautiful tree one day.

Definitely cremation although my mother is against the whole idea. I always say that I want to be cremated and my ashes to be thrown in the ocean or they can plant a nice tree with it.

I prefer to be cremated; however, I don´t like the idea of cremation, but i don´t like to be buried either. I had thought on throwing myself to the ocean when the time comes; however, I don´t know if I´m going to have the time to do this or I will just shut my eyes and leave.

I don't think it's a bad idea for even young people to consider these arrangements. Accidents and unexpected medical events can and do happen, and it's better to have everything taken care of. I think we'll end up going the same route as you. No sense in going all-out when there are more important things the money can go toward. I figure I'll tell the kids to pick out a place to install a memorial bench or something of the sort that can benefit a lot of people if they want a physical place to remember us.

I bought a Purple Cross burial plan back in the 1980s. It is now worth a little over $9,600. I paid a little over $5,200 for it. Made payments on it for about 6 years.

Definitely cremation! I want to make a "clean" exit, and I don't want to take up any room when I no longer need it!

I would probably consider donating my body to science maybe it could be used to help find a cure for something and its free.

First off, I would start by donating what organs I could; if I don't need them any more, someone else might as well make use of them, right? Secondly, I want the rest of my remains to be cremated. Burial plots take up so much room, and aren't even as permanent as they're made out to be (graveyards get cleared every few decades or so to make room for new graves). However, instead of having my ashes spread in any particular way or place (except maybe as a firework because that's just an awesome way to do it), I want to be buried in one of those tree urns. They mix your ashes with the soil in a biodegradable earn that holds a sapling, so as the tree grows you become a part of it. This gives back to the environment, and creates its own marker of your resting place that generations of family can go to visit.
