London: Oscar winning actress Tilda Swinton wants to be left stretched out on a remote Scottish beach for the birds after she dies.

Contactmusic.com reports that she doesn't want a traditional funeral or cremation and prefers nature to have its way.

She said: "I'd like to be done up to the nines in a huge flowery chiffon dress, stretched out like a sail on a beach in the Hebrides, (so I can be) pecked to pieces by birds."
