The most cheapest way possible for a cremation. I don't believe in expensive fancy funerals. If they made cardboard caskets that would do me fine.I have discussed this with family and even told them, no flowers. Sounds morbid but, that's my wishes.

Cremation will do for me. I'm claustrophobic.I couldn't bear to be buried alive.Same for my wife.

Buried is my plan, lots of hymns, and lots of flowers. Problem is I won't be there to see them.

What a coincidence.
And probably you'd love it, too.
I wish I'd kept the phone message my mom left me months before she died.

This question has come up many times on akaQA. I asked it myself back in 2011. I already have a crypt in a mausoleum in Ohio where my husband is in his final resting place.Mine is next to his. As for my parents, my dad never thougth about cremation. So he was buried. But my mom was hinting around that she was for it, b/c for one thing, " it's a lot cheaper" she said. But, my bro and I talked her out of it. Oh well.
It's kinda funny how my aunt and uncle never agreed on anything. So he was cremated, and she was laid out. But, at least his ashes are buried on their plot.

Another alternative is Resomation, see www.resomation.com. I don't know where it is available but worth checking out.

and there are green burials.....which are inexpensive.But, donating your body to a university costs next to nothing. And you would be helping the students to learn.There are two Univ med schools both about 20 miles from my house.

Ideally, I would say, burial at sea, let the creatures who may like a free meal get one. It would return me to live on, in a way. Scientifically, donate me to science, medical students could practice their art of medicine on my remains, and then cremate the remains. My family would like me buried conventionally, with expenses not needed to be spent, wood better than the average dining room table, wasted! After a couple of years, I would not care if they did not visit the site, but just had a memory of my life, so burial is not necessary for that. And I do not want to end up on a mantle, with others worried about me being spilled, so ashes off to sea...
