I'm practicing hymns of praise, so that I will be able to praise God better, right from the start in Heaven.
Cremating yourself means that you are destroying important remains of you.
Yours bones will keep general information about you, including alimentary habits, health, but mostly your DNA.
Today, we can learn a lot about someone by studying his bones. In the future, people might even be cloned.
Cremating yourself means erasing the little that rests from you after death, if you didn't had children or didn't do anything relevant. It's like if you never existed.

Bullshit. You have to have balls of steel to knock yourself off. That aint easy and no coward is killing themselves.
No. Poison is readily available, and it only takes 5 seconds to kill yourself in a painless way. On the other hand, deciding to live takes a lot of courage. I have seen the determination to live from a lot of cancer patients, despite the extreme pain and suffering. They could end all that suffering in 5 seconds. But they are brave people and opt against it.
No man. even if the action happens quickly and painless you still need balls big ones to off yourself. Im sure of it.

To death should be treated philosophically. Everyone has their own problems their troubles, and after death it will not. I'm not really afraid of death. I'm more afraid of the prospect of getting sick and to suffer to death.
Nothing is worse than death. Even if you suffer from horrible illnesses such as Ebola, cancer or tuberculosis, at least there is a glimmer of hope that it will get cured. But death is the end of all hope.
Talking about suicide? Only cowards will prefer suicide. Those who lack the willpower to live, will end their lives in a second. But in my opinion, no one must commit suicide. Human life is more precious than anything else in this world.

Which one do you prefer? Burying your body or through cremation? For me, I choose Cremation. It is very cost effective. They will just cremate your body into ashes and you can chose whether by placing your ash into a container or scatter it anywhere. Unlike Burial, you will need a casket and even a lot to where they will bury your body. 
Justify your answers please 
The national policy can only choose cremation. In fact, it does not matter to me, people have nothing to die, but also how to manage after death Justify your answers please Ever since I turned 10 and realised I would die eventually, like everyone else, I chose cremation. Why? Because, first of all, cemeteries occupy way too much territory and I always thought it would be better to use these plots of land for more constructive and productive reasons e.g. for cultivating more cereals, fruit trees, vegetables etc. or/and for reforestation. Second of all, I believe in the circle of reincarnations and that is the main reason why I don't give a damn about my body (at least in such a fashion) and I'm not that attached to it to waste my time pondering how shall I preserve it and whether my ancestors will occasionally drop by my tombstone and leave posies of faded flowers. And I also conjecture that it's kind of more respectful to commit this precious vessel to the fire because the element fire is the purest element there is and I would rather see my body turned into a pile of ashes rather than rotting in a coffin and being devoured by these disgusting worms, bugs and other creepers. And besides I always wanted to be cremated either in a Viking fashion or under the pyre made by my closest and nearest friends.
Interesting how belief influence the way one wants to be disposed of. I enjoyed reading your post.
As for my belief, when I am gone, it's not really that I am "gone" it will be a case of ceasing to exist what I believe. Therefore I would like natural processes of nature to take over my body. Also together with no casket, also nothing traditional in the sense of a gravestone or any of that. If the loved ones wants to, maybe just a little heap of ground to indicate the spot and maybe some marking to mark the spot, but definitely not a traditional permanent marble or granite gravestone. This way, the site will be re-usable within a few years, and the soil will be extensively richer in nutrients.
I read that too but they call it a diamond, made from human ashes. Costs about 27K us per carat which is more then a real nice 1ct diamond would cost. The avg 1ct diamond goes for around 10k for a good one. vs-defgh so at 27k its crazy expensive.

Death is inevitable, but so is hope!

Burials to me are more sincere to life, although my mom refused and rather be cremated like she is so I gave in. Death is an extremely sad subject matter and to the extent people take in preference to the after-life is never ignored.
I have family members both buried and cremated and prefer to let them decided on their own. I chose burial as a better alternative because equally wasn't there as well as the fact most relatives have been buried instead and chose it that way.

Burial in a coffin and the coffin in a cement enclosure. I wanna keep myself looking good as possible for all the girl ghosts out there.
You've seen too many horror movies? What ghosts? They do not exist and after death you will not be saved even in cement. Your body will eat the bacteria that are already inside the human body. Deal with it! Death is the end!Don't be so silly, sergeyzol. :p
Also, a cement coffin isn't such a bad idea, when the zombie apocalypse breaks out, that's one less zombie to deal with that's cemented underground.
Haha. Yep. In a zombie apocalypse scenario, this cement coffin might actually be one of the safest places there is. Come to think of it, zombie guys won't turn to you because they only smell those zombies around you. But you won't get eaten as 'your zombie' can't get past the cement.

I vote for cremation, of course. Fire is a pure essense and it's beautiful. Expences on burial aren't worth it. And I don't really want my body to keep existing and being someone's food, you know. Yucky! Ash can be just thrown into the air, sort of, and it's fine. And people won't come to some place with buried people to mourn about my death. They just have to let it go.
I also voted for cremation. With regard to the fact that the body of someone can eat, then very soon it will be broken down into organs. France has passed a law which obliges to take the deceased all organs suitable for transplantation.Thats an amazing law. Can you link me to articles about that.
