    If they should think of me, then try to be contented with life. Its not getting what you want. Its wanting what you have got. Was that Aristotle?

    If they HAVE to do something with my body - then body farm for me.....
    I jokingly told my wife just to put me in the wheely bin as I genuinly dont care what happens after Im dead, then after a bit of thought decided that full body donation was the way to go.
    Zero cost, no body to worry about just ring up and say "He's ready" and its done. They can whip out any bits worth salvage and use the rest to train doctors on how to operate *

    * Or they can just stand back and marvel at my amazing physique (Amazing in the 'Oh my god, I think Im going to be sick' freak show sense)

      There are too many bodies being offered for science, most are refused

        I guess we will have to see whats happening closer to the time.. I reckon I've got another 50+ years yet.

        The the two fall backs that come to mind are BodyWorlds and the trusty wheely bin.

        Ill be dead, I wont care, Ive basically told the family to do whatever they want, my preference would be as low a cost as possible if that means hiring a tree shredder for a few hours so be it!

          Maybe dissolving your body is an option?

            Dissolving in alkaline solutions is know as resumation - is being used in a few states in America - not really sure it is going to take off over here but we shall see - greener than cremation but we always have committed dead bodies to fires or into the ground.
