Burial or Cremation?

I am doing the same thing as Chris and Lindsey. I am going to be cremated, then turned into a diamond.

I had brought up the LifeGem issue before, but it seemed most thought it was "morbid". I think it is a wonderful idea.

If my family wants to remember me, all they have to do is pull out that beautiful diamond instead of going to a cemetary.

I would have to say burried, because Im not for cremation. I want a nice coffin and I want to be wearing a pretty dress with NO shoes, Ive got to be as comfortable as possible, besides who sleeps with their shoes on anyways. I have told my husband that if I were to die giving birth and the baby too, then I would want the baby to be buried in the same coffin as me, and I want to be holding it and the baby has no cloths on just bundled in a blanket. Im not pregnant but if I ever do become pregnant and that happens then thats what I would want. My husband would like to be biogenetically frozen, but I think it would be too expensive so I think he would be ok with just a burial. He also mentioned before about cremation and his reamains put into the ocean, his always changing his mind tho.

Burial for us, I have a spot right next to Ry. I want to havea fairly traditional Jewish burial like Ry's. Pine box, closed casket, etc. Then we had a big memorial service later.

You know I haven't quite decided what I want done with my body once I'm gone. While I guess burial was my top option, I hate the idea of being burried in the ground and have people move away. At the same time, being cremated also freaks my beans because I'm afraid of fire and being burnt. At this point I have no clue. What I do know, is that before I die I want to have my service. I got the idea from the movie 'Weatherman' - where Nicholas Cage's father has a sort of 'roast' - where everyone came and talked of him and talked about favorite memories, etc. It was like a big party that he was a part of before he died, so that he could get in ALL of his goodbyes before passing. I know that that's what I want to do before I die. Have a big party and celebrate my life before I die.

Wow. That sounds really great and like a fun time (truly) but geesh-laweez, would I be one hell of a wreck!! I think I would be the biggest emotional basket case EVER, that it would for sure ruin the whole dynamic and point of the thing. Too bad though, b/c I would go for that too if I knew I wouldn't be a baby.

Thanks everyone for sharing your views. I kind of like the diamond thing but I'd have to see it first. I wonder if they have a cheesiness about them, and I wouldn't want that.

I think I lean more towards the cremation for some of the same reasons I did that for my dog.

Good things to think about for sure. I'd like to have more of this stuff planned out and discussed so it's not such a burden on my husband when that times comes.
