HA! Okay, that is awesome.

YourMajesty, she could have you cremated and then put the remains in a plastic baggy and sew it inside of a rag-doll Mummy plushy.... (or a rag-doll version of you. I wonder if there are artists out there who will do commissions to turn people/pictures into a doll, the way you can get a commission of someone's portrait?)

I want to be cremated and have my ashes planted with a tree.

Do you care what kind of tree?

I just found out about the Dragon's Blood tree:



It "bleeds" red sap!

oh, neat! Island ecologies can come up with the coolest stuff!

For various reasons I choose to believe if there is an afterlife then the condition of my remains won't affect it. Thus, I don't care what will happen to it after death, much like I wouldn't care what happens to my apartment after I move out. On a pragmatic basis I'd prefer the person laying me to rest to do whatever is most convenient for them, and on a moral basis it feels fair giving my body back to the earth to biodegrade since I've taken from it all my life.

I guess I'm using up finite space by wanting to be buried, but oh well, that's my wish.

You're definitely not the only one! :)
