It's interesting what makes people prefer one vs. the other. I want to be cremated but my spouse is opposite.

There is now a third, eco-friendly option:

- being gently dissolved in a natural, lye-based solution. Lower carbon footprint than cremation.

Yeah, I am not doing that.

Heck I could do that for ya in my backyard. Like I do when I strip cast iron pans.

Burned to death.

Don’t even want to be cremated, even though you are already dead (hopefully, anyway).

Car accident or plane crash

Fire. I've recently realized I don't want to be cremated because I can't reconcile that my biggest fear is of dying in a fire, and yet I was ok with the idea of burning my body. Yes, I understand I'd be dead.

Buried alive or burning

I’m scared of a death where I’m conscious of the fact I’m about to die, particularly if it’s scary or painful (e.g. plane crash, house fire). But a million times more than that, I’m terrified of a death in which my kids are with me and I know they’re going to die too (again, e.g. plane crash or house fire).

Also, scared of like creepy torture/serial killer murder.

Buried alive. Big reason I am 1) an organ donor, and 2) planning to be cremated. It's extremely unlikely, I know, but let's knock that chance down to zero!

fire or drowning

Yeah def this one. Quick one is what I am hoping for.

Long slow painful costing my faking a fortune type death is what I fear.

I used to think it would be drowning but I revisited the 1985 crash of JAL 123. The Dutch rolls and Phugoid motion I think would have been the worst.
