[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 964423, member: 31608"] I voted "other"; my personal dream is that I be launched into space in any random direction, with enough velocity to escape the solar system. Cremated, or not, I don't really care; the reason why is because I would like to spend all eternity wandering the stars, something which I can never do in life. At some point, I'll wind up in the orbit of a star and incinerated, which is why it doesn't matter if I'm cremated initially or not; eventually, the star will run out of fuel and either burn out and become lifeless via particle degeneracy pressure, explode in a supernova via accretion, or collapse into a black hole. Or, I'll be sucked into an existing black hole and slowly released as particle/anti-particle pairs via Hawking radiation. Either way, I (and all of us) will simply evaporate into the same void as we came from when the universe started 14.5 billion years ago. That sort of elegance is comforting, to me. [/QUOTE]
