hell no. i refuse to bury my loved ones who are still alivei am talking in terms of religion.but infact burial is much more important for your beloved ones who still live.
Viking funeral....
I don't know, I have a few...hell no. i refuse to bury my loved ones who are still alive
Cremated, ashes scattered. So much simpler. And I hate bugs.
Take what's useful from my body, then burn the rest. I would say Viking funeral, but I'd rather most of my possessions remain with my family-- leave me a suit and a weapon, and I'll still be making my way in the next world with more than I started with in this world.
If I die before my husband goes - I'll be rotting in a hole in the ground along with most everyone here.
If I outlive my husband: my body will be donated to BodyWorlds for plastination and display. I've always thought it was the single most coolest thing - why rot, why waste - when you can be immortalized forever in a blend of art and science? I always thought mummies were cool: everything from the bogman to Egyptican pharoahs and their cats . . . why not join them?
I want to be cryogenically frozen, so I can hopefully awake in the future.
i have told my wife that i want a cremation. she tells me that she will use it to show off her crazy and take me everywhere and talk to me to weird people out. :lol:
Even if that involves gluing you to a billboard poster for tea leaves?Once the I that is me has departed, my body is an empty shell. My family should do with it what they will; whatever will best suit the financial situation and their emotional needs to grieve, say goodbye and move on is fine with me.
I'm attracted to this, as well. I'm curious about the theological implications-- can the soul complex persist? How much of the revivified person is you, when parts of the soul have been replaced?
\That reminds me...my stepmom has said on several occasions that when she and my dad pass away she wants them both cremated and she wants to wear a vial of their mixed ashes around my neck at all times.
Seriously...
I'd imagine that if there is a soul, it's put into stasis with the body.
A living a body and the soul are probably bound to each other.
Not to mention that the cost for this service isn't all that crazy.
Runs about $20k-30k if I remember right.
