    Initially read it as "shark c*m" and was left extremely confused.

    My father in law wants his body donated to that plastisizing exhibit that tours the country. Not sure why...

    Well, technically, a little bit of him would be.

    No chance of waking up 6 feet under if you're cremated.

    I always thought the tree thing was a good idea until you really begin thinking about it. Where do you plant the tree? Where your family lives? Does that mean your family can never sell the house? What if the tree dies, does everybody get super upset? If you plant the tree in a public place like a park, doe that mean you have to run off bums sleeping under it?

    Buried and then cremated while in the ground. Just add gasoline. Then, cover with the dirt. But, mixed in with the dirt, I want high quality buds just to give off a nice fragrance. I would also like Sour Diesel bud in there with me when I burn...just because it's powerful and compliments the gasoline offering a diesel solution. :D

    Seriously speaking, I'm conflicted about this decision. I'm not sure it really matters because I will be dead. I don't like the idea of burning any more than I like the idea of being whole and buried. I wish there was another option sometimes. Soylent green? I forget if I have a preference in my Will. I guess I need to read it again. It might have been nice to catch a ride on that Tesla launched into space, though.

    That is *exacly* what I want, but you can't do it.

    You should look into donating your body to science. You might end up at a body farm. Both Sam Houston State and Texas State have body farms.

    I probably will go with cremation, but with a tombstone so future descendants can trace the family heritage if they choose to. .

    Cremation. I'm assuming it is much cheaper.

    So I met this young guy while drinking at a bar. He's a mortician. He described what he does to dead bodies and I knew then I was getting cremated.
