    My wife and I have a burial plot. We plan to have a tombstone. A newspaper notice and a few words spoken by someone wh Knows me well should suffice.

    One can also donate your body parts to other people. I carry a card with me which says so. One never knows when she may die, so why not to be useful to other people?

    Giving your body to science is also useful to other people, not as immediately as donating your organs for sure, but still useful. For example in a university future pyshicians could learn with your dead body, so when they graduate they are skillful enough

    As for cryogenization, science will never recover back to life cryogenised corpses. All the cells are destroyed by the cold.

    My grandma used to say so, she always wanted her body donated for scientific research... But it didn't happened after all - at the end of her life she was very ill and then we buried her and never remembered about her wish... So make concrete arrangement for that now! :)

    Now that this topic has been revived, I wish to add that I am against cremation in general for four reasons :

    1) it destroys DNA, which makes it impossible for (future) population geneticists to study whole populations if cremation is the norm of that particular society (which is why we have so little Roman-era DNA samples)

    2) it prevents a fast recycling of organic matter by other life beings (insects, worms, etc.)

    3) on a large scale, when hundreds of millions of bodies are cremated each year, it pollutes the air and increase global warming (just like a coal factory would)

    4) it prevents use of the body for science and organs donation to people who need them.
