[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Random Protestant. Cremate. Prearranged plans for mother and stepfather down to the urn for ashes. Made it very easy. They were interred at a Veterans Cemetery. I and DH will be scattered in a meaningful place, [/quote]

Random Atheist - Donate your body to science.  That way it will be of use to medical students and future generations.  and you won't know the difference - you'll be dead![/quote]

Actually it's the same no matter if you are cremated, laid out in a funeral home and buried in a box, or used by medical students.  You're still dead and don't know anything that's going on anymore.  If you're at a funeral. home viewing, you don't know if you are in your favorite outfit, or how lifelike you look.  Everyone is looking at you, but you're not looking back anymore.  You are dead.

The difference is that the first two options cost money, are religious and use earthly resources and the third one is free and actually helps future generations of people who are still living.[/quote]
