Zebediah:
Bagpipes for me. It's just not a funeral unless there are pipes.
And as for my body, take what you can transplant and burn the rest.
celticgeek:
Bagpipes.

Something that kept me going before Transition was the thought of cryonic neurosuspension.
I still think it's worth a punt.
Let me explain - if the damaged neural template can be scanned, or repaired (I think it would be easier to make a new one),then making the rest of the body would be relatively easy.
One that's a little less mixed this time. One that could give birth.
It's not so important to me now, I'm pretty happy with the body I have. But before.... the thought helped keep me alive.
techkid:
Funnily enough my dad was talking the other day about something he'd heard on the radio: aquamation, or water cremation (read the PDF here).
Like my dad, I like the idea of cremation (and organ donations (what would I need them for when I'm dead?)), and the ashes scattered (dad wants to be scattered over the Royal National Park. Myself... dunno. Mountains? Ocean? Whatever, so long as there's an awesome view for everyone involved).

Definitely don't want the whole preservative-filled-bury-me-in-an-impermeable-box thing, though. I'd rather go back to the earth effectively and efficiently. Maybe a green burial (no embalming, recycled cardboard coffin). But I definitely want a funeral service, preferably with a dixieland band playing the happy can't-keep-your-feet-still music on the way to the party wake.
After all, it'll be the last party I get to throw. It should be memorable.
