Do you care what happens to your body after death?

I'd like to go to the Body Farm at the University of Tennessee's Forensic Anthropology Center. It will be my contribution to fighting crime!

I don't know why I cringe at the idea of my body getting sliced up for organ donation. Philosophically, it sounds fine, but I never go that extra mile and check that box on the drivers license. And considering how many bodies are on the earth, creating more and more cemeteries doesn't make a lot of sense.
While I am no longer young, I still haven't reckoned with my own eventual demise, and it's kind of scary.

I know I shouldn't care, but I kind of do, yeah. I do think that desecration is a thing, I think it's horrible for a dead body to be deliberately abused. I can't justify that, I know that you're dead, it's just a shell, nobody should care what happens after you're done using it. But like someone said, I wouldn't like to think I'd have my head used as football, or have my body raped by some perverted embalming staff guy.

I just don't feel okay with that even though I'll be dead and would not be able to even care anymore.

For the same reasons, I'm not sure about cremation. It's likely going to be the only method I can afford - or the local council, lol. I will probably be cremated and not have a choice to be buried. But something about burning up a body disturbs me. Yes, I know, again, why? It's dead, it doesn't matter. But I don't know why it bothers me, it just does. I'm trying to be okay with being cremated. I've even thought how one good thing about it is that I can have myself scattered in two places; there's a place overseas that I've asked a friend to receive some of my ashes to scatter.

I know I ought to be onboard with donating organs. But I hear that they leave you in a mess. I just don't know what to think about it. I feel like I've been kicked around in life and so I feel an irrational need not to be kicked around in death too.

I want to be launched into a black hole, but it's a little pricey right now.

Yes I care. I do not want to be creamated. That's just horrible. I want my body intact and in the ground, to merge with Earth and become one with earth.
