Try getting a copy of blood red roses. It's about the excavation of a mass grave from the battle of towton. There's plenty of detail about why you wouldn't want to be in a medieval battle.

Reading things like this makes me wonder; what people would think of my remains if they're one day exhumed? How can I troll the archaeologists of the future?
"Being hit with hammers and spears would suck." is another obvious one.

Something like "mfg by skynet/cyberdyne corp"

Definitely a missed opportunity. Despite being dead, I think I'd rather like being posed in a museum somewhere. The feed-a-tree deal is nice too... but diggers would loot the leftover scrap and weigh them in for beer tokens.
Here's an interesting vid courtesy of Lloyd. If medieval remains teach us anything, it's the importance of a good skull bucket. Most battle discoveries tell the same story of being killed via head wound, either after incapacitating blows to the body or just straight to the bonce.
Brutal. Nice teeth though.
