They can always use your bones,esp your femurs,They harvest them,de hydrate them, cut them into slabs to be used as spinal implants.
Used to work in the buis,I know all about this stuff.

If my body went to medical science it would scare all the female students & dispel the myth about white boys,,,,,

That was my dad's thinking/the less money the better; He was dying of cancer and made arraignments with an outfit for Cremation. It wasn't through a funeral home but a business that advertised that 'Burial is like pouring money down the rat hole'. They knew that dad would die at home and would be available 24/7.

Dad died at 5:15pm, all of us kids were there along with mom. We waited until any grandchild that wanted to say goodbye had done so and made the call.

The 'guy' showed up at 9:30pm that same night in a pickup truck with a canape. He opened it up and brought out the folding wheeler and a body bag. My brothers and I had to help him pick up 250+lbs and place dad in the body bag.

Mom had been crying for hours and came to see dad one more time. After the guy had taken dad away mom said about the 'man' who had been there; "He's not a very nice man". My wife consoled her and said "Mom for a little more money dad would have had a nicer man".

I can't say for certain, but I do believe that if dad would have known the impact on the family that he would have spent more money.

Well here's one for the American's, from an American Company.

Have your cremated ashes turned into shotgun shells or rifle shells...blast off for the next world in style!

Company is called:

Do not really care what happens after i've drawn the fake five from the deck of cards.

Propably i get cremated and buried by the local tradition: into the memory grove at the graveyard. It's a place where ashes get buried without a stone and without your family knowing the exact place. Just somewhere there.

And when people want to remember their loved ones they just bring a candle somewhere in the grove.
Those memory groves look beautiful, specially in the dark winter times with hundreds of candles burning.

Or as someone working at the ship there's always a small change to end up as fishfood. The sea is a beautiful place to get buried as well.
And those who want to remember can light a candle wherever there's a shore. No matter where.

However, i hope neither of these wont happen yet.

Part of me says "demand something that's going to annoy and inconvenience as many people as possible as one final joke to the world", but the other part says "viking funeral" - send me to Valhalla in a burning boat!

To be honest though, anything better than being weighed down with a bag of cement will do - I won't be there to enjoy it anyway!

I read a 'last' book by a guy (don't remember who) who was dying and had made all the arrangements for his funeral. He then went into remission and wrote three more 'last' books. During that time, he un arranged all of his funeral preparations because he figured out that it was really none of his business.
