    I would rather they just dump my body into the middle of a forest, preferably in an orienteering course.

    You are joking Rastilin?

    Being dumped in a forest is not a quick and simple means of disposing of a corpse.

    In six months somebody out walking their dog will find the body. Then a nationwide hunt will ensue to find out who it is. Possibly a murder enquiry will be initiated because of the suspicious circumstances. As most murder victims know their killer, the enquiry will focus on the decaying corpse's nearest and dearest.

    Romantically walking into the forest to die is the best way to cause a person's immediate family enormous amounts of shame and distress.

    A person having their body dumped in a forest is the best way to get the person who did the dumping locked up for life.

    In fact please delete this page from your computer cache. Who are you again? I must have got you mixed up with somebody else, must dash, bye.

    ;)

    I want to be buried with my grandma, who doesn't have a tombstone, so the tombstone would have to say Here Lies me, my grandma, my grandma's three dogs, my grandma's parents and my grandma's grandma. So quite a big tombstone.

    Being a mere 16 years of age I have to admit I haven't given it much thought except that I actually one of those who wanted their body to be donated to science. I'm personally convinced that with enough science experiences they'd find something completely odd, like a block of copper or something. (My blood has super-high levels of copper and very low levels of most other metals. How do I know this? I've had 53 blood tests taken -- usually for allergies, but one was once to figure out if I had blood-metal issues) Otherwise I'd want to be cremated with my ashes put out to sea because I think that would be the ultimate irony; ashes in water.

    And if I was going to get stuck with a tombstone (because my family wanted one or something) I'd want something so odd and unusual that even if it was small in comparison to others, it'd stand out and everyone'd be like "What the heck is that?" Like a dragon carrying a very large pen...

    "Here stands a Young man who tried to skateboard, failed miserably to his ultimate demise, his dog died too...) I want to be baried vertically rather than horizontally. :hahaerr:

    Well, maybe not that exactly, but something very funny, I want something very funny on my tombstone that will make everyone laugh when they read it. Have you played Baldurs Gate One. There are some really funny ones in the graveyard in The town of Nashkel! If you haven't read them, check em out, they are hilarious!

    Hmm, I don't really plan on dying, I would like to live for all time, but I'm not sure if I could work it into my schedule! :p

    But, on my tombstone, I would like it to say, "Another angel fallen, another faded star. The world will never know what a jewel it has lost."

    Yeah, that's pretty, and I want that on my tombstone! :D

    I want my skin peeled off and my innards cremated. Then the skin would be placed over a crazy evil robot that would wander around smashing stuff and saying 'REMEMBER THE SOUL! REMEMBER THE SOUL!'

    Then, when the robot is destroyed, it will be placed in a huge mausoleaum (sp?) populated by zombies, bats, and other such critters, along with an insignificant item that is secretly necessary to save the world.

    But little do they know that the robot wasn't really destroyed...

    It will be a palace of the damned, an eternal testimant to EVIL! MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

    Either that or a small granite plate in the ground, I'm not picky.

    Endure, and in endure, grow strong.

    Something for my closest to think on.

    Hmm, preferably upright above and slightly behind my head. :D

    Seriously, I would like it Black Onyx for the headstone, with Marble for the words. Probably ungodly expensive, but worth it, to commemerate someone so great. :)

    I think I'd like to live on as a lich in a dungeon where I could kill every adventurer entering, until someone would be able to kill me (for good) and take my all powerful ring :D

    Serioulsy, I'd go for the cremation but I don't know where to leave the ashes. I don't like urns, so my ashes would have to be scatterer somewhere. Maybe the field of my favorite football team :p

    AJAX!

    *blinks blindly*
    Riiiight....

    How about an inscribtion that says something like: "The great spammer will live on in our agony..."

    Now that I think of it, a mausoleum that's big enough for me, the wife, and the kids would be pretty cool. Even better would be a stone tomb that had our form carved into the lid of the tomb (just like in LotR:TTT when Elrond is telling the story of what will happen to his daughter if she stays with Aragorn) :rolling:

    Me? The great spammer? I do believe you must be joking, I've never spammed anything even near to this magnitude before today/yesterday!

    Anyways, as an addendum to my previous comment, I want a statue of an angel above me, like in the old Civil War graveyards here in the U.S

    Big, glowing neon green can be seen for miles with the words "STFU NOOB" about 30ft high should do it
