Well I for one have always wanted a massive towering mausoleum building erected to hold my body (which would naturally be conserved in the best way possible if there's a possibility of future resurrection)

Or, along that route, what about people in deep debt? "The court orders that the body of the late (name) be handed over to Bank of Generica, Inc. as compensation..."

I want the cheapest burial possible. I don't want some long drawn out service, no embalming, nothing. Maybe just a small thing at someone's house and have me thrown in a hole.
Cremation.


That pollutes more than it does good... And only solves half the problem.

Oh god no. That, is something that should never happen, ever. If anything theres a reason to hope this doesn't catch on, because there are people cold enough to do that. Actually, the cost would make it kinda, inefficient, unless you forced the losers of the suit to pay for the process, which would just be cruel.

Donate your body to science? Honestly, I'm surprised nobody mentioned that option...

Well, somewhat I wouldn't want to see myself being mutated by weird medicines.

...but yeah, it's another choice. Who likes to help humankind?
