    Cremated, my mom, and my wife were both cremated. it is the easiest, and cheapest way to go, and you will always have a piece of them for memories.

    Mummified, with an elaborate burial chamber filled with traps to go with it. In my Sarcaphagus will be a memory stick showing the location of the rest of my buried treasure.

    If I can't afford that though, I just go for cremation.

    Theres this thing where you can get cremated and then they turn your ashes into a diamond, by compressing the carbon or something, I'm no scientist. I think it would be awesome. A diamond is forever. And from what I've read about it, every stone is slightly different in color , which makes me smile. You could have the stone cut into several smaller stones and made into earrings, rings, pendants, basically whatever kind of jewelry you want. You could leave something beautiful behind for the people who love you, so they can always have a peice of you with them. With my luck, my brother would try and pawn the diamond version of me, so I'll just leave him my electronics.

    If your body just decays anyway I guess I'd like to have a marker somewhere in a cemetery but I would definitely go for cremation. That way my ashes could be scattered or placed in a necklace ( it sounds kinda creepy but there's certain people I'm sure you have promised you would never leave) and you won't have to if they can carry you around.

    cremated because then my family can have some of me forever....and not only that but in like 200 years when theres no where else to bury bodies i dont want them digging me up and do w/e with me.

    I'd want to donate my body to science and if that doesn't work out then I guess I'd rather be cremated.

    Cremated. I think the whole idea of burial is stupid and a waste of real estate. Turn me to dust, and sprinkle me over a river on its way to sea.

    I don't care, I'll be dead! Either way, it sucks for me. I suppose if I have to choose, I'd be cremated..less wasted space.

    Stuffed and put on display.

    Just kidding. Probably buried.
