I saw that on the news during lunch today. If you ever need proof that there are sick people in this world you now have it.

I don't think the corpses mind.

Cemetaries seem like a waste of space to me. the only exception would be for fallen soldiers in my mind. Personally, I don't need a plot to remember my dead family members, that is why we have memories.

With that said, I know that the national cemetary here in town is running out of room and moves people around to make more room.

I don't think that the corpses have a problem either except that they bought that space and are having it resold out from under them. If you get moved they should send your family a bit of your money back.

What ever happened to that guy in Georgia that ran a crematorium, cheaped out on the propane, pocketed the cash and just stacked a bunch of dead people in the woods around his property?

Jail or Laughing Academy?

When I die, my wishes are as follows

Donate whatever usable organs to those in need...

Donate whatever else to science...

Burn the rest...

Use the ashes for fertilizer or something

There is a company here in NJ that is legally allowed to bury you at sea. They follow all the federal guidelines for depth and weight to keep you from floating back up.

Personally, donate everything you can, then dump what is left at sea. I consider it the ultimate in recycling. Someday somebody will be having a tuna sandwich and eat a bit of me

Think about that next time you start drinking or smoking some funny smelling cigarellos

I want my organs removed if they are any good, the resulting cavity filled with explosives, and be detonated at the beach.

I got alot more joy out of seeing a car crushed by aerial detonated whale bits than I should have. I think I am still laughing.

Do not pass GO, do not collect $200. Twelve years.

Not too long ago there was a piese on the local news about a place in europe that will take the cremated remains and make "diamonds" from them. Just what you want to propose with. "Will you do me the honor and consent to be my bride? The wearing of grandma on your finger would make me the happiest man on earth"

We had a plot for a family member hi-jacked by a different family member by putting his grave stone on the site (Both are still alive). My mom noticed and was like WTF. Then changed her mind and said "I dont care, stack'em up. We could probably get another uncle in there!"

I laughed.

Strangely enough, if they were close enough family, I don't think I'd mind.

But I'm going to be cremated (after organ donation) and tossed into Oregon Inlet back home. With maybe a few grams sprinkled on Road Atlanta's Turn 5.

Unlike some of you, I don't have any elaborate requests for my remains.

Except being loaded on a rocket and shot at the sun. That would be badass.

A pine box and a backhoe. They can plant me in Graveyard Field at the family place. I really doubt I will care at that point. All I ask is for the wife to throw one hell of a party. You are all invited.

bury in the ground for me. don't need a fancy coffin. i'll be dead and it'll be full of rotting person-juice so it's not like fancy uppolstry is going to last! possibly just throw me in the back of my van and bury that all. already have the van and digging a big enough hole would be cheaper than a coffin anyways. that way i'd have more room, and a stereo!

Turn me into ashes and scatter me on a racetrack (even NASCAR would be acceptable). Imbibe alcoholic beverages and celebrate my life, don't mourn my death.
