You can donate your body to a ''body farm'', like this swell fellow did.  

On a more serious note, no matter how smart, successful and gallant we are, our destiny is to be cremated or to become a stinking, rotting pile of flesh.

Any accuracy to that?

I have a really hard time buying that. So no. 
But then you are a Michigan man so maybe they take that into consideration.

Yep, no liver donation for you.

Why would they want my organs?

The stuff I could tell you Zig about what people did with their cadavers

Jim Harbaugh has an incident in Ohio I damn well guarantee you he will get the finest help to make it.  NO OSU fan wants to see him go.

Good question. Blue doesnâ€t go well with red (blood)

I have a burial plot in my home town cemetery that I bought over 40 years ago for $25. It's right next to my sister's and her husband. They'll both be cremated and their ashes mixed together and buried in the same vessel. Pretty cool gesture. No need for a back hoe to dig the grave, just a post hole auger. I'm an organ donor as well, but I don't plan on anything being worth much to anyone when I go.

You could get some good coin for that liver right now, if you hurry.

I'm not really done with it yet.

 Half of it is all you need. Actually you could get by with 1/4 of it. So donâ€t be selfish Sparky. 

Hell, I was told I can't even give blood anymore. Makes one feel like a leper
