Do you want to be buried or cremated?

[MamaLema]

Me and DH took a walk through the cemetery and we started talking about our wishes and while neither of us know yet, we both agreed we should start thinking about it.

Cremate me and toss me into the Atlantic

 

[karen4546]

Buried. But I won't know.

 

[takemethere]

burn baby burn

Buried in the family plot in my hometown cemetery. DH too and God-forbid, DS if he should pre-decease us without having made his own arrangements.

 

[MamaLema]

Buried. But I won't know.

Understandable. I guess I just want to make a decision so DH would know what my wishes were and vice versa

 

[Gino USMC]

Ill leave it up to my family. Ill be dead so I wont care.

I don't have any preference but I assume it will be burial just out of tradition. If I had to pick I'd go that way.

 

[TippyThomas]

Cremation

 

[lilmc]

Buried. But no embalming. Wrapped in a cloth and put in the ground. No headstone. (Yes, it can be done at some “green” cemeteries). I took from the planet my whole existence, the least I can do it fertilize a tree and some dirt. Hoping that’s less of an environmental impact.

 

[Pyotr]

My religion forbids me from being cremated.

 

[DisneyJamieCA]

Cremated.
I can’t get DH to make a decision on what he wants.

 

[starry_solo]

cremate me and toss me into the Pacific.

But, seriously, I don't want little maggots crawling over my body. I know I'll be dead when that happens, but yuck!

I’m claustrophobic so I can’t be in a box.
But somehow I’m okay with being cremated and put in an urn. Lol.

I’m claustrophobic as well, but I want to be buried. The thought of being burned scares me. I know I’ll be dead, but I still don’t like the idea.

My religion forbids me from being cremated.

Cremation is now accepted by my religion but I'm old school. We will be buried with family.

 

[goofyernmost]

Neither. I want to live forever! Thanks.

 

[SaintsManiac]

Cremated as economically as possible then tossed into Lake Pontchartrain.

My wife and I will be cremated. No services, keeping costs to the minimum, but even then the services of the funeral home will be expensive*. We discovered my Grandmother bought 6 plots when my Grandfather died. She is also interred there, so we have 4 unused plots for free . And it is 6 miles from where my parents are interred. Only issue is it is 100 miles from here, but we have made it clear we don't expect visitors, but if our kids do want to visit, then can hit both of us, their Grandparents and Great-Grandparents at the same time.
*When my mom passed the cost to transport her 100 miles to the cemetery was $750! And that was in mini-van, the least expensive option. A hearse would have cost $2,000

Ok the minimalist in me want to be cremated. Yet I don’t want to end up on someone’s mantle or lost. So I’m thinking buried because you’re forced to put me somewhere. Yet I don’t like the frozen or embalming process.

So cremated and my urn buried.
