If one put his hopes on future science developement the following

would be adequate for preservation.

It is my believe that my body is the home of my Spirit there for

Should I die please do the following with my body:   NO AUTOPSY!

1) Put packets of ice around my head.

2) Infuse my body with heparin and nitroglycerin while cpr is done.

3) Get a quick release of my body from the hospital. 

4) The undertaker can then do a traditional wash out with embalming fluid.

5) Wash out thoroughly the embalming fluid with ethyl alcahol.
        (90% proof alcahol sold in liquor stores will do)

6) Cover the surface of my body completely with vaselin.
         (drug store vaselin will do)

7) Wrap my body completely in 3 layers of in bandages. Exspecially the head.
                                    
8) Paint the bandages until soaked with any oil based paint.

9) Pour 3 inches of rock salt in my casket. Place my body on the salt and 

then cover the body completely with the salt.

10) Ship my body overnight to  Alaska.

11) The undertaker there will arrange that I am interned in Memorial Park.

12) Before my body (in the same salt filled casket) is covered pour two 

feet of cement in the grave. Lower my casket right in the center. 

Pour 4 feet deep cement over the casket.

13) Press prepared memorial plate into the wet cement.
