The most appropriate final resting place I could imagine.

Read about this in the news today. Pretty cool.

Awesome ending. If frozen in cryogenics to be woken up by Captain Picard is out of the question then that is my next choice.

Yeah, that didn't go so well for Jimmy (Scotty) D., did it?

Let's hope this time it works.

It's actually cheaper than a traditional burial as well, based on some figures I've seen. I intend to have it done when I die.

Viking funeral for me.

I actually know a guy who arranges them, tows you out to international waters in a scale drakkar, and burns it to the waterline.

How much does that cost?

Doesn't matter. That is beyond cool. I'd do it.

A whole hell of a lot. They guy started out with burials at sea - either diving with cremains, or an actual whole coffin. Turns out there's a lot of bureaucracy involved; the coffins must be of a particular composition, have a particular number of holes drilled in a particular array, and must be placed very carefully according to the positions of transatlantic cables. Then, he branched out into more custom requests, like the Viking funeral. I think it was about a 10-foot replica, plus it was an all-day affair - he had to tow it to international waters.

back to the op, I've heard of that before....I'm not sure If I'm going to do that or donate my body to a medical school, but it'll definately be one of those.

Well, since I plan on living forever........or at least until a stake is hammered threw my heart, I won't have to worry about that

Give. Me. His. Number!

As for Majel, better hope her rocket doesn't explode on the pad.

Don't know if I still have it. Last time I spoke to him was about 10 years ago.

(and back then, it was approx. $50,000 US.)
