What's gonna happen to your carcass once you're no longer using it?
Me, I'm off to Harvard Medical School. If someone can learn from me, dead or alive, I'm more than happy to teach. No memorial service, no funeral, nothing. Just off to school, then when they're done, burn me up, then off to an unmarked grave that the school uses.
My second choice would have been The Body Farm in TN. It's a place that teaches forensics. Bodies or left to decompose in various conditions. Among others, there is car trunks, water, rolled in carpet, shallow grave... You get the idea.
Then there is:
"Well I ain't afraid of die'n,It's the though of being dead I wanna go on being me once my eulogys been read Don't spread my ashes out to sea, don't lay me down to rest You can put my mind to ease if you fill my last request
Prop me up beside the jukebox when I die Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand prop me up beside the jukebox when I die
Just make your next selection and while your still in line You can pay you last respects one quarter at a time"

I saw the 'body farm' on a Discovery special once. Kinda' gruesome....... As for me, I am donating whatever they can harvest when I am dead. I plan on living to be at least 100, so I'm not sure how much they will be able or want to use..........

I will be an organ doner. If I am dead and gone what use are they to me anymore and if someone could live longer because of me then so be it. The rest I want buried in the woods overlooking the river I live on.

The only thing that will be of any value in me would be the exotic metals used in joint replacements and re-enforcing hardware in my back, the rest of me is just about all worn out.

Several years ago I heard about a taxidermist in AZ that somehow was able to stuff humans (for lack of a better way to describe the preservation). I'm thinking of doing that. Put me in my favorite pair of jeans, t-shirt, cigar in hand and rollers on my feet so I can be moved during cleaning. Just don't use me as a coat rack.
