They might find out when they try and build a conservatory

We can't keep on burying people,  there just isn't enough space in this country,  that's why I think cremations will become compulsory before much longer.     A lot of graves get neglected anyway.      If you keep your loved one's ashes you'll always have them close to you no matter what happens,  or you can place them somewhere meaningful.      

I agree. I think if people have bought a plot. then allow it, but certainly no more cemeteries. Why should someone who is dead have a piece of land forever. 

 

The only downside is that people will complain that 'only the rich can afford it'.

It’s everyone’s personal choice don’t get me wrong. 
 

but what you gonna do with your body parts once your dead? Nowt.

 

someone else might have a life changing benefit.

 

the idea that some young poorly lad / lass has a long happy life by using my useless bits is something i would find great to be honest.

Absolutey, 100%.

 

For me (personally), I find some religions are completely selfish in this respect. 

They're happy to have a transplant to save their lives, but unwilling to help save others with their bodies. 

 

Although probably no one would want my lungs/heart etc. because I smoke, I want my eyes to be used to practice new methods of helping blind people.

Funny enough, I was thinking about my mortality a few weeks ago.  I was wondering if Sheffield University would like a new skelton for the medical department?
