Anyone have a funeral plan in case the unthinkable happens?

Ever think about cremation v.s burial?

If I have any working organs they can go to people who need em, burn the rest.

Green Burial would be my first choice, but if I'm overseas, or if it proves impractical for whatever reason, then they should cremate my remains and ship them back to my family. Then, I'd like my ashes buried in the family plot.

Box me up in a shipping box and send me snail mail to a random address in Manhattan. Laughing

Hi-larious shenanigans. Too bad I'll be too dead to see the look on that chuckle head's face...

I spend my life building stone houses for others and a wooden coffin for myself.

I don't have a family yet. I'll worry about it then. If I were to die now, I'll let the state sort it out. That's what taxes are for.

Well, they can just throw my body in the trash like everything else.

I want my body buried in its entirety to prepare for the bodily resurrection. Damn straight, I wanna be a zombie!

I signed up as an organ donor. Will probably not be valid if I die in Korea though... Don't really care much what they do with the rest. If someone volunteers to build me a pyramid, then that's fine with me too.

My father has maintained a life insurance policy on me since I was a kid. It is cheap, because he is a civil servant. So, if I kick the bucket, he'll get some cash to deal with my rotting flesh.
