How do you want to be disposed of?
-
Last I checked, you could have a gram of ashes shot into space for around 5000.00.
Edit: $1500-$5000 for LEO, $10,000-$45,000 for the Moon or other.

I always thought the Sleeping Beauty thing was cool but Im going for at sea unwrapped just weighted down...Goodfellows style...
-
Cremate me then fertilize the grape vine that contributed to my undoing.....
-
Morbid but inescapable. Another eco choice would be a cardboard coffin (for either burial or cremation) in a woodland cemetery. Fairly minimal impact and as traditional as you would like it to be.
-
As cheaply as possible. The average cost of a funeral I believe is between 2000 and 3000
-
I didn't think there would be much reactiion but it looks like members do think about such things. I have a spot picked out for my ashes in County Kerry. It's on a mountain that can be reached via a road that links Inch Strand to Camp Village. I have even shown it to my wife but have a feeling I will have to write it into my will if I want it done.

Mmmm, I wonder what is the cheapest way of doing it? I suppose shark feed must be one of them?
-
Do you know how much it costs to go on a shark-seeing tour?
-
My grandparents were cremated and ashes were buried under a tree in the "Life for a Life" scheme. Suppose it's a nice place to go and "see" them, but I had a feeling the scheme is run by con-artists...
-
Don't care really, probably the cheapest method. Worm food or ashes, when you're dead, you don't have much to say about it...
Cheers.

Hi Mike, your poll does not include the possibility of not wanting it at all ¡¡
How do you want to be disposed of?
NO WAY
who knows now if humanity is going to reach the point of no more dying to get to know ?
remember we are all now in crucial times
cheers -

cheersYou make it sound like the global economy is going to be so bad that we are going to grow frugal and avoid the expenses of dying

I want to be dipped in bronze and turned into a fountain - where the water comes out is up to your imagination.
Actually, I'll be dead, so I won't care at that point. Just as long as there is a large monument to my modesty.

Or carbonite.

That's what solo wants (shot into space). Is the name "Solo" a coincidence? Well, maybe not HanSolo but PeteSolo...
-
I'd like to be wrapped in a compost bag, with a whole load of tomato plants embedded in my rotting body, and for the fruits of those plants to be consumed by other human beings! Then I should stand a better chance of being part of humanity again, rather than becoming a fly or a worm!
There's been a few deaths in my family recently, from MS and Alzheimers. My brother in law, who is only 62 has advanced stages of Alzheimer's as well. And I thought cancer was a horrible way to go? Watching your loved ones turn into a lump of meaningless putty is devastating. Can we change the subject??
-
TF, sorry to hear about your Brother-in-Law. Alzheimer's is tough on everyone involved. But I think its a good thing to have a little thought on the matter in hand as it helps to put things into perspective.
Juan, so you want to live for ever. I thought about it and decided that I would not want to. I think life at around 250 years old would be quite boring. But again we are all living longer. If you go back a couple of hundred years, 40 was old age!
I must look this up as I think it could be interesting
-
..... I was not too far out. Check this out Life expectancy variation over time. Juan, your great great great great grandchildren could be living to a couple of hundred years
-
imagine 250 years to live from now
with death secured
and ...
enjoy
to die is disgusting
