15. I'm not a fan of cremation...
When I was younger, it seemed like most of my family members that passed were buried in a coffin. But then the trend sort of moved to cremation, and I'm just not a fan of it. I know it won't matter to me when my time comes, but I'd just prefer not to be burnt up, and I'd prefer even less to have an urn of my remains set up as some decoration in somebody's house. My father passed away, and my mother put his urn on the mantle, and I just don't like that at all.

I also don't the whole death ceremony though, and wouldn't want to have some big huge burial get-together. So I don't know. Probably, due to financial reasons, I'll get cremated, but I'll just demand that they dispose of my ashes, and don't even get to keep like a honorary urn or anything like that :)

Throw me in a glad bag, bury me in the back yard, and have a party and celebrate, and don't be sad. That would be my first choice, though :)
