Cremation, remains placed in a bio urn with an oak tree planted on a ranch south of Abilene. Every one who wants to pee on my grave will now have the opportunity.
coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc. I don't give eeffoc until I have my morning coffee.

Im an organ donor and once they are done I wish to be cremated. I think cemeteries are a huge waste of land. agreed

I plan is to get use of the taxes I have paid over the years of my life by being buried in a national cemetery.

Cremated. Then ashes spread in Roaring River, Lake Fork, and the Gulf.

before cremation became popular, I told my wife to just dig a big deep post hole and stand me up in it to not take up so much space ... now that there are many more crematoriums, cremation after they pull any useful organs out ... spread my ashes over the TX hill country.

There is a natural cemetery in Austin that sounds amazing besides it being in Austin. You have to be buried with no embalming fluid and in a biodegradable bag. Headstones must be even with the ground and natural wildlife roams the grounds. If there were to ever be anything like this in West Texas I would be all for it.
I like the idea of being cremated but would also like the family to have a place to go if they so desire. Some colleges are building Columbarioums if Texas Tech builds one that is probably where I'll end up.

Could always randomly find a small plot of land and set up your own cemetery to be such as that out there.

All global warming alarmists should opt to be composted when they go, it's a fitting end.

I would prefer buried in the family plot in Northern Stephens county a few hundred yards from the Clear Fork. No cars coming by....just the occasional rancher, pumper or hunter.
I am waiting for some cheapster to say "just quarter me....put me in trash bags and put me on the curb on trash day so the trash man can haul me to the landfill.

Coworker says he wants to be cremated and his ashes put in disposable douche so he can be "run through one last time."

On me I really don't care, as for my wife she wants to be composted with a tree planted over her.
