That would be fine be ready always so that your family would have to worry less since the only things for sure in life all die so it is a good things to prepare in advance. Well, I do not like to be cremated I like the natural process. do you like your ashes to remain in an urn or to be scatter to any place you wish to be ..

If it's right for you..that's all that matters. My granmothers last request was to be cremated and have her ashes spread across the lakes and mountains of where she had come from. She had been in the big city most all of her life after leaving home. She missed home but was there per her husband's request. She was cremated and brought back but her son(my uncle) has not fulfilled her request. It bothers me but there is not a lot I can do about it. I think that everyone should have their last request respected and followed. Take care.

I think you have a right to request whatever you wish. My family are aware of mine and I hope that they will feel able to carry them out when the time comes.I've said that I'd like them to have a party to celebrate my life... preferably in fancy dress!

There is nothing wrong if that is what you really want. Personally, I would like to be cremated too when my time comes. I have no wife but I will also discuss the same to her as to how I wish to be remembered when my time comes.

If that's what you want, then it is alright. There's nothing with having yourself cremated. But if you want to be really remembered when you were still alive, hire a taxidermist and have him stuff you. That would be cool.

i am with you. i want to be cremated as well. when my time comes i want to have all my affairs in order. i don't want my children to have to worry about anything. everything will be paid for,. all they have to do is just remember me as their mother.

When I die I would like my body to be completely preserved including all my organs and even eye balls hoping one day I can be resurrected. If that is impossible then cremated or in a way where my body no longer exist like my ashes being absorb in acid or something. The reason for that is so that no one can defile my corpse.

Hi... We have the same thought regarding that matter. I want to be cremated too. I don't know if this is right, but if we think that this could give us the PEACE we long after life, why not?

For me it's okay but you know when you do that it's like your not giving your family, friends and relatives even a little to show you their last blow of love, respect and time for you. You should give them also a little to accept that you're gone and give them the last glimpse they have for you.

It will be right for you. How one wants to be disposed of is entirely a personal decision. Personally, I would like to be frozen, in case technology is such I can be brought back in the future. You can never tell how people will remember you. I have a cousin that was very close to me. However, when she was dying she made a statement to me that is all I can remember about her now. She said, "In the end, material things are not important."

Cremation is what i have in mind since it's easy on the budget. But i would still prefer to be buried in the ground. I don't know if it's just me but i don't really want my body burnt it's just like experiencing hell already.
