Things People Would Consider For Their Remains After Death!
In a survey of 2,000 people, 29 percent would consider cremation, with their ashes scattered in a natural setting.
Just 24% of people say they will donate their organs and tissue so they can ‘live on’ through others.
One in 10 would be happy for their entire body to be donated to science, while others like the idea of their ashes being formed into a diamond (seven percent) or being inked into a loved one’s tattoo (four percent).
The study also asked people how they felt about the possibility of a zombie apocalypse. The study, commissioned via OnePoll, also found that when it comes to a zombie apocalypse, 18 percent consider themselves at least somewhat prepared for one.
Although only nine percent are ‘very confident’ they’d survive such a scenario, 32 percent are ‘very unconfident’ they’d last.
