Or stuffed? Lol. I want to be put in tomb or something.

I have another question, I don't want an autopsy nor do I want any fluids taken from me, is that possible?
I'll be back

    I dont think its possibly to not be drained sadly. An autopsy is only done if its a suspicious circumstances I think, or cause of death is not apparent.

    I definitely want to be cremated. I'm very claustrophobic, and the thought of my body being placed in a small, enclosed, dark box and buried 6 feet under the ground freaks me out just a little! But I don't want to be kept in an urn, either. Scatter my ashes!

    omg... lol

    a french exchange student told me once that in france they had to re-bury a lot of coffins to make space in a graveyard or something, and when they took a bunch of the coffins out some opened and there were a lot that had scratch marks inside. apparently it was due to a disease that paralyzed the victim temporarily and the doctors back then couldnt tell that they were still alive. so everyone thought they died and when the disease wore off the people came out of the coma... inside the coffin!


    therefore, if i ever get buried in a coffin i'll want some sort of escape plan buried with me.

    Yet another reason to be cremated....

    Def not cremated, i believe we should all donate our organs + skin etc to help others. Skin may sound weird but organs for sure then the rest of me can be buried if so wish.

    I do not want to be an organ donor. Sounds selfish but I have my reasons. I will not be buried. Its all personal though

    Good point ed!
    I don't really understand the argument that you cant get into heaven if you don't have all your parts for the afterlife... its like the least selfish thing you can do, isn't that what many religions preach?

    My grandpa donated his eyes.... its crazy what they can do!!

    I do plan on donating my organs before being cremated. You can do that, right? I mean, you don't have to have all your organs intact to be cremated, correct?

    Cremated....why waste the land for burial???
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

    They can take whatever they want when I'm dead, then bury me so I can provide a little fertiliser for whatever is growing nearby. At our local cemetary there's a woodland area, think I'd quite like to go in there in a wicker/cardboard coffin.
