Perhaps the word I'm looking for is "fascinating"? :shrug:

Am I simply warped?

1. I like it.

Beats keeping their ashes on the mantle. Now THAT'S creepy!

[Deja Q]

2. Creepy. Spread my ashes around a tree and let it prosper...

And given a choice, let a pack of dogs take a whiz on the tree rather than cutting it down.

3. Actually... I kind of want to do that when I die.

I mean, I want my ashes scattered too... But I think it's an interesting idea too, to have part of your remains turned into a gem stone.

If I ever save up the money, I might consider that. Otherwise, I'll just have my ashes scattered.

4. i was planning on willing my body to a group of necrophiliac satanists...

when you're dead- you're dead.

5. Perhaps the word you are looking for is "fucked up"

OK, two words.

[Xipe Totec]

6. No, that would be more like post #4 n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Personally, I think it's fucking stupid. Living things die - let them die and decompose.

That's the cycle of life.

Our society is totally fucked-up on issues surrounding death.

8. Spare part me out then mulch

I have yet to find a place that will/is able to comply with the mulch part.
