Would you like to be cremated when you die?

My Uncle, who died due to cancer of esophagus, told his family before the died that he wanted to be cremated. He was in the US with his family when he died. He wanted half of the ashes to with his family and the other half to be sent over here in the Philippines. Personally, I think I would do the same thing if ever I would be leaving the country and be migrating to other country. I would also like half of my ashes to be sent to my parents and the other half to be kept by my own family. Otherwise, I would not allow it to be cremated. Instead, I will ask my family to have my body be of use by letting other people use it for scientific studies. :) DO you think it's also a good idea? How about you? Would you also like to be remated when you die? :)

I'd like to be cremated as well. :) Dying is never an issue to me and I'd like my body be given back to earth when I die. I'd like it to be thrown to the sea while performing a ceremony, during sunrise to symbolize new hope and a new beginning.

i say if theres anything left of me when i'm done with this meat sack, give it away to someone who might better make use of it than the ground bugs. and yes cremate the leftovers. throw me in the air, and in the seas, and on the land. just make sure you close your eyes when you do it. i've had ashes in my eyes and it hurts. cheers
