I would rather be cremated.
I don't like the idea of my body rotting 6 feet underground. Graves also take up a lot of space and the world is already overcrowding. A little tree in a memorial garden is all i would want, but to be honest i havn't given the idea much thought since im only 17.

I have to say that being able to say 'goodbye' to both my mum & dad (whilst at the funeral home) was a good thing - not quite the right words I know - but I'm sure you'll understand what I mean.
My mum died at home from cancer so it was a good thing to see her again lying peacefully free from pain.
My father died in his car from a heart attack (no other vehicle involved) so I hadn't time to say goodbye.
If anyone thinks this is a morbid subject then I apologise - but death is the 1 thing in life that you can't opt out of - so we might as well face it head on.
For me, like Ed I don't want to be embalmed unless neccessary; I want a basic non-denominational service with 'Affirmation' by Savage Garden played as the hymn, & 'Freebird' by Lynrd Skynrd as my coffin disappears - then I wish to be cremated & my ashes scattered at the place where I learned to sail.
Not fussy me, eh ?
