How would you like your remains to be disposed?

I'd like to know how you'd like your physical body to be disposed of, and what is your religious belief.

Personally, I'd prefer it if my body could be dumped in the garbage (unfortunately it's illegal).

I'm an atheist.

    I want my dead body to be hollowed out, stuffed full of industrial grade fireworks, set on fire, and thrown through the front door of the Discovery Institute from a speeding van with the evolution mural painted on both sides.

    After my organs are harvested I want my body to be buried at an eco friendly cemetery. Where there are no coffins (save for a plain pine box), no preserving of the bodies, you're just buried and returned to the earth. I figure after all the resources I've used, it's the least I could do to pay back my debt to Mother Nature

    I'd donate every organ that can be transplanted. The rest may be used for scientific research. The remains disposed in the most eco-friendly way available at the time.

    I want to be cremated and spread near the ocean. Not for any religious reasons, I've just always felt at peace there. It also pisses off my religious mother that I'm being cremated, instead of being buried so that Jesus can put my soul back in my body or something like that.

    I honestly could care less. I would probably donate my body to science or donate my organs after I die. It's not like I will benefit from my own dead body.

    I am not very religious, what ever happens after we die will happen regardless of whatever we think. I just accept that. Nothing can change it.

    the human body is temple of Holy God and that's why it must not be burned or in general destroyed as a whole, e.g. because God may want to recover it through resurrection of the soul-being that dwelt in it during its lifetime in it

    I want my body launched in a pod and sent into the sun.

    As ecologically as possible. I hear that dissolution is up-and-coming. "Air burial" might also be a good way to go.

    bury me and plant a tree on top

    I'd rather have my remains be put to some use.
