What would be cool would be cremated and have my ashes made into a gem, my first name is 'Crystal' so it would be cool to be one after I go. I could become a family heirloom! Here sweety, here is your grandma on a necklace.

As far as I know this costs about a million and a half... I think it's a sweet idea, but definitely not for me; wearing jewels made out of dead people seem creepy to me.
However, as my parents are generally mostly Buddhist I'm pretty happy with being cremated to become ash. Seems the most natural to me. Return to the earth in the closest form to it. Either that be drifted away in the Pacific Ocean so I can ride the waves back and forth between Japan and America, since I feel both are my home countries.
Having a place / hole in the ground to lie to rest in peace doesn't seem to sit right with me, especially if that particular spot I was to be buried barred no special meaning to me during my lifespan. I would feel like I'm bound to that burial ground. As my heart's always been partially with my family in Japan and rooted here in America, burning my body so that the ashes could be distributed amongst where I spiritually feel at home seems to be more important to me.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
