What's better or you? Buried or being cremated?!
Honestly, I'd rather have my ashes in a coffin, so then the bugs can't eat me.

What's better or you? Buried or being cremated?!
Honestly, I'd rather have my ashes in a coffin, so then the bugs can't eat me.
Your opinion?
I'd prefer to be Cremated so my ashes can be spread along an ocean or something, or if I have enough money pay to be Cremated and have my ashes launched into Space :thumbup1:
My Grandpa wanted to be Cremated too, so when he died he got Cremated and my Grandma spread his ashes along her Flowerbed.
Imagine if someone else from your friends/family related died on a young age. Then most of the time they wont know it.
Personally I want to be buried. How can bugs eat me if I'm in a steel and stainless coffin? :P
Go with cremated - don't fancy the idea of being buried, a decomposing corpse.
From dust to dust.
Cremated for sure. I don't want people to feel the need to have to come visit my grave at a specific spot.
I'd rather be cremated cause I wouldn't wont my body just rotting away in a casket as my body disintegrate to dust and I'm just bones.
Definitely buried!
If zombie apocalypse breaks out I don't wonna be left out. :)
I would like to be cremated when I die.
Mainly because I don't want to become bug food and I want my loved ones to always have me.
I don't want to become one of those graves that are solo'd out in a cemetery with the other graves that have been long forgotten with no flowers or anything.
If I was in a jar, at least I'd still be by my family and maybe a part of me spread out somewhere of my choosing.
But overall, defiantly cremated.
I want to have my own spot, where I can rest quietly. Buried.
"I would request my body, in death, be buried not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna throughout my life" ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson everybody.
It would be funny when we have the technology to revive the dead and I rise from the dead while all of you still dead..(I choose buried)
I'd rather be buried, Thus way I'd be buried with family and rest peacefully.
Even if I lay there and rot at least I'd be somewhere where people would remember me by.
I'd want to be in a coffin floating around space.
Cryogenically frozen is my first choice.
Buried along side family. I don't like the idea of being burnt to a crisp as much as some people don't like the idea of decomposing over time. At least with decomposition its a slow processes.
I don't plan on dying though, gonna get super rich and when we're able to transfer conciousness into AI i'll be the first in line :thumbup1:
Frozen. So they can revive me in 1000's of years.
The idea of being buried scares me tbh ... You don't know what comes after death, but I think being cremated is less of a risk, cause when you're buried you ARE stuck in a place with just enough space for your body.
I wouldn't say this is a debate, therefore I am moving it to the OW and putting a poll with it.
Moved from Debate to Outerworld.
My dad has been tellin' me this, he wants to be cremated because when we see someone being carried to the grave yard and usually there are lots of people following, it's always rainy, if not sunny, and your relatives won't have to visit your grave when it's your anniversary, just at home and celebrate..
I rather be cremated than to go rot in a coffin.
You do realize that your coffin does decompose over years, so either way you'll get eaten by creatures. I'd rather be cremated as I don't like the thought of having my flesh torn off by cockroaches and maggots etc. They don't go for ashes as much.
Cremated. It's cheaper.
Cremated.. Then cast into a strong east wind!
If I had the money, I'll get my ashes given to everyone in my family (abit each)..
If I had to choose out of Buried or Cremated I would choose cremated, then all my ashes to be sprinkled into the sea.
Same as Gohan, funerals are way to expensive, and here you basicly pay for a amount of time your coffin/body stays there, no idea what they do with it after? :/
I want to be cremated and turned into chocolate milk mix :D. (Southpark jokes ftw!)
Jokes aside, I have no idea to be honest, I don't know what makes me more uncomfortable to be honest.
In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether your cremated or buried. Either way you aren't going to know what happens to you, or feel anything.
The main fear of dying for me is being put into a body bad, put into a fridge and being cut up, that's why I don't carry a donor card (I would give one of my kidneys to one of my family though, I'm not selfish, just don't like the idea of being used as a lab rat).
1. Go into a 3 inch steel coffin to be launched into space (Awesome!)
2. Be frozen (Like many other obvious reasons users have said, as in brought back lol)
3. Cremated
4. Buried
I prefer the idea of a burial. I'd rather be decomposing flesh than burned to a crisp. Been to a cremation before and it's heartbreaking knowing that when the coffin disappears behind the curtain it's into a furnace. Having buried a very close and loved relative I can safely say I preferred the burial (if you can prefer one or the other). Plus I like the idea of a memorial site where your family know where you are and it's like a tribute sort of thing, having a proper grave site.
i wonna be cremated. My dad wants to be buried with a tree panted on to of him.
I don't really care what happens to me after I'm dead, simply because I'll be dead...
Personally, I don't really care, whatevers cheapest. Donate to science maybe? At least someone will benefit from it.
Although, if you get buried you could become part of a future zombie army, which would be pretty awesome
Cremated.
Cremated, don't like the thought of being in a coffin underground. (the thought of all the bugs and stuff eating you puts me off)
Whatever makes my family the most comfortable, I suppose. I really don't care either way, and I don't think that I will even be able to care once I'm dead ;).
Neither.
Lucid dream for me.
I wouldn't mind being cremated. It's cheaper than an entire funeral revolving a burial. (I think)
Id rather be cremated. Im getting gooseflesh when i think about bugs eating my body lol. And like few of the peoples said before, funeral is too expensive, besides that, i dont want my friends to think that they should come and visit me. If i were cremated and my ashes would be spread along some nice place (Like ocean or w/e), then i could say im "everywhere", and then my friends would just close their eyes and think of me, think that im near them. Lol sounds kinda creepy but w/e lol. Cremated for sure
Buried so I can be a zombie :D
son i go to heaven
