[QUOTE=OvB;32041044]They have some kind of crushing device that breaks up whats left of the bones into smaller bits for the box of ashes they give your loved ones. This does the same. So you'd still be put in an urn, there would just be less ash.

We should just toss our dead in a volcano![/QUOTE]
I want to be tossed into the sun, far more epic, or better yet, I want to beat voyagers speed record, send me to proxima centauri

gah manic beat me to it
Ashes wrapped in a tar coated cloth, set on fire and launched from a catapult at my enemies castle.
Ultimate medieval cremation. Now, if only I had more enemies in castles in the modern day.
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;32045659]Burial in a casket the normal way doesn't have to be expensive.
Besides, what is more beautiful than letting the dead be joined with the Earth?[/QUOTE]
A nice-looking casket made out of some kind of cheap stone easily is in the thousands of dollars price range. I stress the "nice-looking" part, too; after a few months in the ground, they fall apart. The simplest wooden caskets are normally only a few hundred dollars cheaper. The metal ones are a medium budget kind.
A dead person rotting in the ground is not a beautiful thing, my friend. Unless you've got some kind of weird fetish. If you're going to be buried, then I suggest you get a wooden casket. Decomposition takes a very long time. The metal ones that are airtight liquefy a body within about a month. Anaerobic bacteria flourish. And the stench... it is beyond description. The stone ones don't have this problem so much; a body in one of them normally is just covered in mold, shriveled, and reeks of must and rot.

Thought about becoming an embalmer. Took some classes on it.
The funeral business is a very lucrative one.

So? You're dead, you cease to exist, it is physically impossible for you to give a shit.

You can donate yourself to Gunther von Hagens and he'll turn you into plastic so you can show off your naked body for millions to see.
If I die, I want to be dropped in a Volcano. A live one, if it's dormant or dead I'll just be splatted on the solid magma. That'd be shite.
would be good for one last prank
trick people into thinking your bone dust is a form of powdered food and liquefied you is the special solution to make it edible
This seems like a good way to deal with dead people. I never understood why people got so fussy over a dead body, all it is once the person dies is a rotting chunk of meat.
A good efficient way of dealing with the dead. Simply reduce the bodies to a liquid then convert said liquid into fertilizer for use.
Cheap, efficient, quick, does not use up resources or much space.

Throw 'em into a pile of compost.

Rots and lets off horrible gases. When George IV was buried his coffin became so gassy they had to drill a hole in it (Otherwise it would explode)
Coffins have actually been known to explode.
I want to be burned on a pyre Darth Vader style when I go.
I'm getting turned into a statue of me doing something totally awesome like killing a bear with my hands.
Then I'm passing it down the descendants for everyone to look and go: "Ok. He was pretty awesome."
Bodies are devoid of value, conserve them for dissections at universities, hack off the flesh of the rest and serve it as food.

i wanna have this done so my enemies can drink me...
I want to become a diamond
And then have that diamond mounted on something important

Maybe a sword or something.

[QUOTE=ChilColdCoolaid;32041239]Dead bodies that get put in the ground get pretty nasty looking over time anyways.
I don't know about you guys but if I was a dead body I'd like to get the nastyfication process over with as soon as possible. It would be like ripping off a band-aid really fast, except with decay.[/QUOTE]
I don't think I'll care about what I look like when I'm under the goddamn ground in a wood box that isn't supposed to be seen ever again.
On the topic of what you want to happen to you when you die, I think it'd be pretty badass if I could be launched into a planet (let's go with Mars) and have a religion formed around my frozen carcass by the nomadic tribesmen who no doubt already exist on such planets.
Deposited into normal sewage? What the fuck?

Shhhhh
Sun is more awesome
Or send bodies into space. Who knows! Millions of light years later, Aliens might find some bodies and make contact with the humans!
