Well, I'm 21, in perfect physical health, and my lifestyle is really risk-averse, so...PeZook wrote:Have the people who want a Viking funeral made any actual arrangements for such?
Because if they did, it's the most awesome thing I've read, and if they didn't, they really should because otherwise it's just internet grandstanding.
One thing is sure is that when I die I'm donating my organs - this I have made sure my family know my will on the subject. Maybe I'll donate what is left to science ? If I can, maybe I'll make them cryogenize my head/central-nervous system for the hell of it ? I dunno.
The question is : what to do of my final remains (IE : ashes) ? The viking/rocket solution would be awesome, but it would be too costly and it'll be a bother to organize for those who will have to make it a reality. On the other hand, I hate cemeteries, they're really too depressing ; so I think I'll just ask for my ashes to be released somewhere of significance for me.
And other than that, my plan about death is to avoid it as long as it is reasonable - how I define "reasonable" in this case being intimate knowledge...
