That would be like painting over the Mona Lisa.More likely a cosmetic surgeon will practice the impossible by trying--and failing--to make you handsome.
ah so you like my space travel idea!Why would ANYONE want to do anything other than preserving your dead body as much as possible? That way, just in case later down the road they come up with the technology, your body (especially your brain) might be intact enough to revive you and your memories. If your body is burned up or rotted that possibility goes out the window...
I don't plan to die anymore than I plan to exist.
Stuffed and mounted!
If I'm dead why would I care?
Typically that would take place in the reverse order, though, wouldn't it?<whistling>/You don't have to be dead for thatStuffed and mounted!

But first "they'll" have to come up with a suitable preservation technique... Didn't that sort of cryogenics go out with the 70s?* I very seriously doubt "they'll" ever come up with way to reanimate (or even "recycle") a formaldehyde- or alcohol-pickled corpse to anything like useful (or even usable) condition...Why would ANYONE want to do anything other than preserving your dead body as much as possible?

ETA: * Hmm. One wonders if any of those flash-frozen corpsicles are still sitting around out there, and/or what happened to them when that era's "start-ups" went belly up? (no pun intended) Probably weren't many to begin with, but if memory serves, there were at least a few...
No, why would they defrost you? It's not like there's ever a shortage of people. Why would they waste resources on one that's already dead?Errrrr, so they can live again?
This is my first preference or a Parsi Tower of Silence. Absent that, then the a Muslim burial would be my second preference: wrap in sheet and bury by sundown. Under no circumstances do I want to be embalmed, a truly disgusting practice.tibetan sky burial

Parsi Tower of Silence.
LOL, for real? Because you sign a contract with the company who you pay a bunch of money to preserve your body, and your next of kin can sue the shiat out of them if they don't follow the contract and revive you once the technology becomes available?
After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers, and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn't care no more about him, because I don't take no stock in dead people.
