I want to be the final course in a 5-course dinner. So does Alan.

Take whatever organs of mine can be put to use for someone else, and if that dictates cremation, then so be it. I'm not really fussy about what way I'm disposed of.

Whatever the loved ones find most comforting. It won't matter to me.

Something flashy and gaudy so in 5000 years someone thinks I was important in a primitive culture.

I wish to be cremated, and then have my ashes put into an hourglass. So that I may still be of some use.

I prefer cremation. I find it ridiculous that in certain states you need to be in a coffin to be cremated. The cheaper the better as far as I'm concerned. Then spend the money saved on a kick-ass party, with top-shelf booze and play all my favorite music.
