I don't want to be buried -- I want to be cremated. And I don't want anybody looking at my body when I'm dead -- so no "viewing" before the fire. I'd prefer not have a funeral, per se, but more of a "celebration of life" kind of thing -- and that's really for those left behind, not so much because I want that -- but it can be true that some sort of service can make loved ones feel better. I definitely don't need a minister or anybody else standing up in a church and telling lies about me.

I have thought, too, about willing my body to science. I'll be done with it.
