    Just throw my body to a bunch of lions or tigers in dublin zoo, I'm sure they'll make short work of me...

    Actually, I wouldnt mind that whole dessication/compression thing that turns you into a diamond.

    I thought it would be interesting to note that the ashes that result from a cremation aren't ashes at all. In the business they're called "cremains", and are primarily composed of pulverised bone.

    Definitely like the idea of a headstone, just to leave a little mark somewhere.


    That reminds me of the old joke about the Epitaph on the Atheists headstone that reads 'Here lies Joe Bloggs, an Atheist. All dressed up and nowhere to go'

    Um, whatever people want when I'm dead, they can make me into a puppet for all I care.

    here's a theory- agnostics shouldn't know what will happen to them after death and atheists shouldn't care.

    Viking funeral. Put on a longboat with my favourite possessions, shoved out on the sea or a suitably big lake, and set alight.

    Probably illegal, but not like they can punish me.

    I've filled all the paperwork out to donate my body to science [not as cool as it sounds as they are just going to let 1st and 2nd year med students poke at you but hey your dead so doesn't matter] After a while when they are done poking they cremate the bodies and give the ashes to next of kin. If my next of kin needs to have some sort of religious service in order for them to deal thats their choice....like I said I'll be dead so why should i care.
