What do you want done with your body when you die?

Upload my consciousness into a supercomputer so I can one day return in a clone body and rule the world (Or just sit at home and watch Oprah reruns)

When I kick it, I want every usable bit of my body given to hospitols and laboratories for use: I've no qualms about what it's used for, just as long as someone is able to benifit from it in a good way.

Following that, what remains I want stuffed, technologically augmented, and set up in front of a shopping center, where I shall greet customers with a zealous "Welcome to our store" and take off my hat, causing my head to come along for the ride (cookie for the reference)

Seriously, though - cremate me, compress the ashes into a diamond, and use it for the construction of industrial-grade tools or (if ever possible) as the central piece for some kind of jewelry display, along with a brief note that should list any interesting information about my existance and whether or not I was able to do something of any noteworthyness.

Depends on technology.

Under current technological conditions...

I'd LIKE to have my body under a manned space flight launch. I can't think of a cooler (pun intended) cremation

Feed it to a tiger! That's what I really want.

As it stands though, I guess I'm up for whatever.

I don't... really care that much.

When the writer Mark Gruenwald died he had his ashes mixed with the ink used in a printing of one of his works. That would be a pretty sweet way to go, too bad I'll never write anything good.

Good question. I think I would want to have the funeral closed casket, get everyone worried, have my wife and kids spread rumors that it was a messy death, that is if I do have a wife and kids. Then, hoping my wife is a good actor, I want her to rush the casket in a fit of despair and throw the lid open.

Wait for it.

Still coming.

Almost there.

And have spring snakes, helium balloons and candy spray out. And then me, wired up to nifty keen animatronics start dancing. After that, we'll serve cake and ice cream and Granpa Tassy will tell stories to the young wipper snappers on his knee. Then, I'll ride off into the sunset and become the travelling corpse, object of legend.

Seriously.

I'll need someone to scrape the ash off of the walls, and maybe a plastic bag or something to store them in...forever!

Preferably, I'll have died in a gigaton/teraton explosion, thus what to do with my body will be a rather moot point.

Seriously though, I'd say cremation. Convert the majority of my body that makes me, me, into energy.

Dude i was going to say the same thing--that would be soo cool--though it would be freaky for someone of the future talking to a dead guy on sd.net or something lolz

I plan to donate my organs to those who need them and occupying some real estate underground. I would like a nice two meter tombstone with my name on it.

With my luck? I want my body to be FOUND when I die.
