Say money was no object how would you want to be buried? Or at the very least what would you want done with your remains?



For me I would like my corpse shot into the sun. They could put me into a coffin shaped like a photon torpedo tube from Star Trek and play the bagpipes in the background as they launch me towards the sun.
 

Not. I want to be cremated, ashes spread wherever my loved ones want (since it's their deal), and maybe a tree planted for me somewhere.

Never given much thought but not leaving a trace behind sounds good so cremated so far.

Stars I can't abide by the thought of my corpse rotting away underground. I know I'm not gonna give a shit afterward but I want to die happy, you know? I want my ashes to thrown up into the air someplace, free on the wind. Like a bird.

I want to be cremated and have the ashes turned into a diamond.

Put me down for one of these.

I'm simple- parcel out the parts that can be used by other people and burn up the rest and toss me in the ocean. Nuthin' fancy :D

Hehe, yeah I want my body to be the new Buster for Mythbusters for one horrifying episode.

Oh yeah, before the cremation I forgot about this part. At the moment they need more cadavers of people fucked up like me, to learn more about my illnesses, so if that's still the case when I croak I'd like to help out that way.

I've already told my wife to stuff my body full of dynamite, put me in a boat, set me adrift to sea, and remote detonate.

Hadn't considered this. Organ donation, for what can be of use to others, is a good idea.

If money was no object? I'd either like my remains placed in a long distance space probe (I've already seen the sun, send me somewhere interesting, eh?). Or used in Frankensteinesque experiments. You could probably stick me into a haunted house somewhere as well. But only if the house were made from bodies, like Davy Jone's ship from Pirates of the Caribbean.

I'd like to be brought into orbit, preferably uncremated, and have my casket re-enter the atmosphere.

If it could be scheduled/timed properly, it'd be awesome for my friends and family to be able to look up and see the shooting star.

All this talk about being used to fertilize a tree reminds me of the enders game sequels.

Huh. Money no object you say?

Well, originally I'd have my body cremated and spread somewhere. But if I could be as extravagant as I wanted, I would demand that my ashes be crushed into a diamond (I hear they do that), and have a 40 ft. statue of me made in as most a exaggeratedly triumphant pose as possible, with my fist in the air. Then, on this hand, there would be a ring made of solid diamond. My diamondized remains would be placed on the very tip of this ring-- the highest point on the statue. The statue itself would be placed high upon a cliff, outside some kind of coloseum or other important grandiose building.

Only the worthiest and most foolhardy of criminals would attempt to retrieve the diamond that I rested upon. I'm happy with anyone capable of taking the diamond having it.

------------

My mom wants to be made into a diamond and put into a ring, -or- her ashes used in a painting.

My dad wants his ashes to be planted with a new tree, so he can "live on" as the tree. The Dad Tree.

Huh. I missed chazwozel's. That does sound awesome. Like a modernized viking...thing. I'd some how want "the weapons of my vanquashed enemies" piled in there with me. I'm sure chazwozel would have the Rna sequences of the diseases he'd cured in the boat along with him....if...if that correlates I'm afraid I'm woefully ignorant when it comes to micro-biology.

Well if money is no object......


I want to be chopped up into body parts after being full body tatoo'd with the location of a 40 billion dollar treasure. I'd have people send one body part to a random person with a letter attached. I'd make them find each other to get the treasure. This act would sure to be riddle with treachery and backstabbings. Then, when they finally find the treasure, the money is so old it disintigrates upon exposure to air.

Seriously? I mean, if money is no object? Geez you people are not creative.

"Oh I'll just be cremated..." Yeah, me too, but if money is no object, weeeeeell...

I'm going to buy a tropical island and the majority of it will be covered with the largest, tallest pyramid known to man. Deep beneath it, my corpse will be entombed in a room that can only be reached through a booby-trapped maze. Each section will be built by different contractors, who will never speak to each other and be killed after construction is finished (Their bodies will be donated to science, or the fishes). Throughout the pyramid, in elaborate pictorial codes, will be messages to my loved ones for people to try and decipher for centuries. The island and ocean surrounding it will be a protected site, maintained with the funds of "money is no object" (which is my favourite source of money) with all types of animals brought in exclusively to make my resting place more awesome. There will be no snakes or worms there, however, because those things give me the creeps. I will have staff whose sole job it is to traverse the island, ensuring no snakes or worms have made their way onto it, and ridding them if they do.

I will also genetically engineer a giant dragon and store him in a chamber that can only be accessed with a key that can only be obtained if you have the correct item, which you can only get to if you've beaten my previous three [strike:2nz0epwv]dungeons[/strike:2nz0epwv] tombs, and then once you get to the dragon, you must use your wits and that item to defeat him and get my heart (which will be kept on ice, otherwise it will be useless after the boss battle. Also I'm not sure people with heart conditions bad enough to need a transplant should be fighting dragons). After you take my heart, the pyramid will collapse.

ORRRRRRR


With my no object money, I will construct a moon station UNDER THE MOONS Surface. An UNDERGROUND MOON BASE TOMB will have been built to store my body. There will be 998 doors and the door will only open once you have answered the question, or guessed the trick. After getting to the last door, the tomb requires you to write a 89 page thesis on "why is blue." When the tomb opens, a gas will be emited that changes the DNA of the one that opened the sarcophagas into my exact DNA at age 21. When this has occured, computer preformed magick spells will transfer my lingering soul into the body with no resembles mine. After a long battle for dominance, I will destroy the tumor which is the original soul and walk the Earth/Moon again.

What color? The yellow are cheapest, and I think blue costs the most.

Until I read this post I had no idea that it could actually be done. :redface:
