Distributed, but not so distributed that I can't appreciate the particularities.
@mister-moggy removed their quoted postI have visited the small private cemetery where members of my extended family get buried and have been buried since the 1970s. I have seen the plot where they will bury my remains. If that's the arrangement that makes sense and seems fitting to those who outlive me, then that is where I want my body to go when I die.
@mister-moggy
personally, i wish to go nowhere
but this was called to mind
Desiderata
GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

I do not care about where I go after death. I would prefer my body be dumped somewhere in the wild, birds gotta eat same as the worms.
@eladar saidAccording to your beliefs, what is the nature of the 'afterlife' that you believe your soul will embark upon after your death?

@eladar saidHardly means 'sometimes [it is]'.
According to my beliefs you are a worthless individual hardly worth responding to.
This was an on-topic question and, certainly, it is not a "worthless" one, nor would your answer be "worthless".

@fmf saidI believe the OP asked "where do YOU want to go when you die?" You are not your body.
