First of all, I would donate whatever organs were useable.

I just attended a sister's funeral service this week, and the casket was open until the service began. When they closed it (while we were all sitting there) I had to look away because I didn't want to remember that, although I can kind of remember it because I knew what they were doing and I can picture it in my mind. Anyway...I don't want that to be how people remember me. I don't like the thought of being laid out for people to look at me and I definitely don't like the thought of being in a box and laying underground while I wait for whatever to happen to my body. I don't like imagining my loved ones that way (even though I do sometimes), and I don't want to imagine myself that way either. I want to be cremated, have a memorial service in a church (with a picture display) and then whatever my family wants to do afterwards. As far as my ashes are concerned, right now I would want them buried with my family in a cemetary. Later on in life, I might change my mind. If I died right now my mom wants to have a place to come "visit me" so I'd let them decide to put my ashes in the family plot if it would make her feel better.
