A lot of people of people choosing race tracks, myself included, which is hardly surprising on a forum like this. Though I do like the sound of being a diamond or a firework. :D
 
When my time comes, just want my ashes scattered in the one true place I was the happiest and had most comfort in, underneath my room. Just have someone in my family or friends just dig a hole in my room and throw the ashes inside, cover the hole back up - so as a ghost, I can haunt my old location for ever.
 
Being dumped into the solar system from the ISS would be cool.

Realistically, I don't really care because I'd be dead. I'd much rather let me kin deal with the location for my remains an let them do what makes them happy...

...Unlike my father who has held my by promise to scatter his remains at the Boleyn Ground (Upton Park stadium) or wherever West Ham's ground is when he kicks it. During game play no less. By doing a streak. And I gave him my word I would do it thanks to alcohol. :grumpy:
 
Since I'll be dead, I don't care. Pour it down the drain as far as I'm concerned. :lol: That being said I really like the idea of cremation and much prefer that over being buried in the ground, take up space and cause inconvenience to friends and relatives. In my humble opinion that is.
 
I say the Atlantic ocean, no particular spot, but if I had to choose, somewhere out in the middle of it would be nice.

Earth's oceans are one reason why I'm still alive today, and in my death, I would like to be there.

Green burial's the way to go. No land permanently occupied, no air pollution. I used to be all for cremation, but not anymore.

For the sake of this thread, I wouldn't want my ashes scattered anywhere. The idea of scattering it in a specific location as to create some kind of meaning is pointless to me. If I'm dead, I'm dead, end of story. No sense in trying to be all symbolic about it. Or better yet, I'd turn my ashes into something new, or purposeful. Like pencils. Anything useful or purposeful for someone else. 10 Amazing Things Your Ashes Can Do After You Die.



If you check out the link above, the idea we can have our ashes turned into diamond is extremely resourceful. Can have family or a friend keep that, or sell it to help another in need of money. And here a bunch of you are ready to throw all that potential good out into gardens, race tracks and an ocean. Although it was a joke, out of all the choices we've picked, I liked TB's the most. 👍

Also, technically Earth's landmasses are one of the reasons you're alive today... and the sun.

It goes a little deeper than that. The reason why I post in blue is connected to that reason.
 
As a totally fanatic mountaineer I want my ashes to be scattered on some mountain top here in Austria. One that is taller than 3500 meters because thats when it gets really beautiful up there.

I live on the coast, and suffer from at times, crippling anxiety and depression. It astounds me what walking down to the water's edge at night can do to heal.... at least for a moment.

Not sure what the ocean has done for you, but it has done and continues to do a lot for me.
 
@Slash did too.

Me? I like to think it'll be far enough in the future that the whole commercialization of space travel will have become reasonably affordable. Stick my body in a rocket and point it straight at the sun: ULTIMATE CREMATION.
Beaten to it. So I'll opt for being launched into the central galactic black hole. Maybe I'd be the first person inside if I'm really lucky.

Second choice is being atom smashed in the LHC or whatever is around then.
 
I would want to be buried at Kentucky Speedway, but if I had to be cremated, I would want my ashes to be mixed into body paint at the Lamborghini factory. Then I can be a Lamborghini.
 
Likely on my latest Pokemon game as it'll have my prize Shiny Swampert in it. Therefore no one will be able to play the game and get rid of my childhood Pokemon ;).
