my dad says he wants to go in a fridge box, as that's the cheapest option for my mom... but he's not factoring it the cost of the new fridge.

I'm giving my body to science and my organs to someone else,
I decided it when I was a kid and don't really see myself rotting in a hole without purpose.- medical students gonna have a lot of fun playing with your organs. :)ApeRobot

Our family is into donating our bodies to science. I believe i'll do the same. donate the origins and let students poke my cold ass with a stick; perhaps they'll learn something.

on a dump or a mass grave.
or on a hill where the vultures and scavangers can devour my wretched body.

Cremation isn't "trendy" for everyone. Anyway, I'd rather have that since I don't really care, and it takes up less space. It works out.

I gave this a lot of thought years ago that, if I died at a young age I'd be cremated, and have my ashes spread by people at the places that mean the most to me. The places are all special to me and have great memories associated with them. I'd have some spread in the winter in Breckenridge, CO, by my friends from high school that I took ski trips with ever winter. I'd have some spread at Enchanted Rock, TX, my favorite camping/hiking place in the state (I was born and grew up in TX). I'd have some spread in Lake Michigan in Chicago, because this is my home now and has been for 9 years. And I'd have some spread in Moosehead Lake, in Maine, which was one of my favorite places to stay when my mom and stepdad lived in Massachusetts when I was a kid. I'm having this put into a will soon, once i get around to it.

I want to be carbonised, then compressed into a diamond which will be surgically embedded into my partner's forehead, as a constant, painful reminder of our time together.
When she dies, our trust will dictate that her body is carbonised and compressed into a diamond, then embedded in our eldest daughter's forehead.
This legacy will continue until some far off descendent has a koh-i-noor-like diamond so heavy that they can't walk, instead pushing themselves horizontally on a specially-manufactured (gold-plated) gurney. After that, I haven't really thought about it.

Doesn't matter too much as long as there are some lamenting womenfolk present and my enemies are driven around my remains clockwise and in chains at spearpoint a few times.

I could care less. When you're dead, you're dead, and the leftover body is just a pile of dead flesh...no more. Food for worms, etc...
