Have you all seen this picture from today's headlines?

"A pair of human skeletons lie in an eternal embrace at an Neolithic archaeological dig site near Mantova, Italy, in this photo released February 6, 2007. Archaeologists in northern Italy believe the couple was buried 5,000-6,000 years ago, their arms still wrapped around each other in a hug that has lasted millennia.

It think it is one of the most touching things I have seen. And it brought to mind a question: since we all must face this some day, do you prefer to be buried or cremated (or perhaps cryonics)?

cremation is fine, but I kinda morbidly like the idea of either an eBay or Craigslist bidding war!
