Would you rather be cremated, buried, or something else?

The real story in that link is that Chicago just lost a couple hundred democratic voters (it's a good joke because that city historically [still probably currently] has dead people vote democrat. We're pretty much tied with Louisiana for corruption)
However I'd rather be ash (cremated) than a pile of dirt and bones in a collapsed wooden box (caskets can't hold the weight of 6ft of soil, too much weight). If you're ash at least you can be dumped in your favorite place or something.
