i'm likely donating my body to science. i'm not sure for study or for plastination just yet, but i figure i might as well let people put my body to use as i'll no longer need it. also not being religious or spiritual i don't feel the need to be buried or cremated and have any sort of ceremony. i figure if i have a family at any point they will respect my wishes, even if they don't agree with my decision.

but to answer the question, i think it would be awesome to have all of my jewellery in my body if i did go the plastination route. if i donated my body for study then i guess it wouldn't matter much.

I think that funeral directors are very professional, respectful and conservative. If it's a facial piercing they would most likely ask the family what they want to do. It it's a piercing hidden by clothing it doesn't matter what they do once you are dead. I think returning the rings, unless requested, to a grieving family member would be worse. The family member might not even know the person has those piercings.

I want to be creamated (with my jewellery in).  Nobody else can interfere with my dead wishes.

I couldn't care less about jewelry, but because of an intense fear of coming back as a zombie, I'd prefer to be cremated.

i don't give a shit what you do with me when i die.  i'll be dead.
