So what do you want done with your corpse when you die?
What's it going to be? Opulent bronze casket, mountains of flowers, and a dozen professional mourners to lament your passing? Scattered at sea? Launched into space? Mummification? Donated to science? Norse ship burial?
Serious and comedy replies accepted in this hallowed ground. We're dying to know what you think...
``Necrophilia would be my second choice for what should be done with my corpse, the first being scientific or medical use. Once my dead body is no longer of any use to me, it may as well be of some use to someone.''
-- Richard Stallman
First, all the organs I haven't worn out too much will be donated to those who need them. I would like my brain, which I presume to be non-transplantable, to be removed in an as complete and intact state as possible and preserved in a jar. I don't know what the best preservative for brains in jars is, is there something better than good old formaldehyde these days? Anyway, the jar should be made of some transparent material that isn't likely to break if dropped on the ground, and vacuum-sealed. The jar will either go to any of my friends and family who wants it and promises not to break it nor destroy the contents, or auctioned off to the highest bidder who agrees to follow the same conditions. In case of auction, the money will be used to offset the cost of the whole brain-preservation endeavour. Should any money be left over afterwards, it will be donated to the Free Software Foundation.
As for the rest of my body, my fiancée has already called dibs on my eyeballs and any intact parts of my skeleton, so I don't really care much for what's left over. It'll be advertised as "free to good owner, must pick up personally" in local papers.

This guy had no family of his own, had no children, and grew wealthy in his time on earth. His heirs would have been his wife's family and he didn't like them. To assure they inherited nothing from him, he spent all of his money on a ridiculous set of monuments to his wife and himself.

Pimping my body to necrophiliacs and have the money donated to children's charity.
"Screw the dead, save the children!"
I want to be the internet
I want to have my brain transplanted into the body of a young girl (around 8 or 9 years old).
>>9
But wouldn't that result in you having a grotesque oversized head? You wouldn't be very cute girl.
>>10
My head is slightly smaller than average already and brains tend to shrink with age, so by the time I'm dead, that probably won't be much of a problem.
A bigger problem is that no one seems to be doing serious work toward making brain transplantation viable.
>>11
It's not viable yet because you'd be transplanting a fucking brain.
I'm gonna be cremated so I don't end up on CuteDeadGuys.com
>>13
Damn it, I wanted that to be real.
Oh well. I'll always have /r/PicsOfDeadKids and the deadgirls RAR.
Organs donated(Be an organ donator, kids) and then cremated with my dog who I plan to stuff when he dies
From there I want my ashes split in half- part to be scattered in the ocean, and the rest to be mixed with my other dogs ashes and any family members who are cremated ashes. After that my descendants can do with us what they want- use us as a paper weight, put us on the mantle, use us to boost the growth of their marigolds, I don't give too much of a fuck.
I'd also take an exposure burial or a Norse ship burial

To have award named about me.
I want someone to take my body and leave it floating in the river of my hometown, set in the water right next to my old apartment complex.
