    I was researching for an article on burial methods (Read it here) and it got me thinking. How do you want to be buried?

    As for me I'm going back to basics, my body carried on a wood and canvas stretcher, covered in a cotton sheet with no embalming. A quick (less than 24 hour) burial and I'm done. What about you?

    Why Notorious? Beyond the obvious invite for grave robbers, getting buried in cash doesn't have too many benefits.You can't really use it after death anyway.

    Well thats the thing about Alkaline hydrolysis cool_78. It leaves the same residue (the bone particles and such) that cremation does, yet it doesn't emit the Carbon Dioxide and Mercury (from fillings) that cremation does. Its my second burial choice (if someone wants my ashes) :p

    Well, first I want to donate some of my organs to science so they will do some good when I don't need them any more... Then it's cremation all the way, don't wanna rotten slowly.
