Cremation.... get rid of ashes, on a mountain, in the sea, down the loo... and then I would like everyone to just get on with their lives and be happy.
I have this fear of being buried alive, so I would prefer to be cremated. I would love to have my ashes placed in a stream or under a willow tree.
However if my family chooses to bury me they must give me a walkie talkie withe extra batteries and a cell phone. JUST IN CASE.
If I died in Valor, set me on a skiff, with gaz or oil to make it burn, set a detonator to activate the burning and push me on the water.
If I die a Straw death, just burn me and bury me in the familly crypt.
If I die a Sea death, drop my body in the water.
I wanted to be buried in the old cemetery I use to work in in Mount Clemens but my mother in-law intervened. She bought us a crypt in a mausoleum with out asking when she found out I had cancer (just what I need to lift my spirits at the time) and to top it off it's in a huge catholic cemetery. I can't sell it because my wife want's to be near her dad who past away some years ago.
Gargoyles watch over me...I can hear them snicker in the dark.
Pull the operating handle (which protrudes from the right side of the receiver) smartly to the rear and release it.
Monk, I'll abscond with your remains and scatter your body along the highway in 10 different black plastic garbage bags. I'll save your heart and toss it in a trout pond.
My personal preference is to have all the reusable and recyclable stuff be removed and reused. It won't matter to me (what with me being dead and all), but it matters to others who could use that junk, and it doesn't cost me anything to be generous after death, so they can have it all.
Anything left can go back to the ash factory.
Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

Cremated. 1/3 of my ashes in the bay near where I used to live, 1/3 across the finish line at my favorite racetrack, and 1/3 at whatever is my favorite place at the time I was living when I died.
There probably won't be anyone to carry out these wishes, and it doesn't really matter too much - I'll be wherever I'm going. LOL
