fuck thousands for a coffin. or hundreds for an urn. can i legally be burried in butcher paper?
can i donate my body to science and skip burrial all together?
i want my final action to be a big middle finger to the funeral industry picking on people in their weakest moments.
There’s a book called “Stiff” by Mary Roach where she looks into all the various ways to (legally) dispose of your body.
You can donate it to scientific research (my personal preference) and they will use it as a very accurate crash test dummy (usually).
Things like the glass in car windows and car crumple zones were invented with the help of such donations, and she claims that on average 14 lives are saved by every body donated.
When I die just throw me in the trash
That’s against the law lol
Live with cats. They will take care of it.
To praphrase Diogenes and Frank: Just throw me in the trash!
No lie, i want a sky burial. Your body is split open and left on a mountainside populated by vultures, after a few days the villagers return and collect your bones, the only thing left. They grind your bones and mix them into crackers, which are then spread around the fields for birds to eat. Your entire body goes back to the birds, i love it. My wife isn’t taking it seriously but I mean it, i want one of those
Do a viking funeral. You know, that ceremony where you are sent out in a boat and a fire arrow is fired into the boat so it burns down while floating into the sunset.
But skip the boat. Have someone chuck you into the ocean and shoot arrows at you until you sink.
I want to be launched into the ocean with a catapult
Only heathens and foreigners would want a catapult. True noblemen would demand a trebuchet.
I want it to be with as little dignity as possible, just to ridicule all the pompousness and ceremonial BS
You can keep your fancy trebuchet!
Have nothing of value left when you die and make sure your relatives refuse ownership of anything. Leave it as a problem for the state to deal with.
Have nothing of value left
Debt with scummy companies is much better.
Max out all your cards or tell your kids to do so. Buy stuff that is consumable so there are no assets to reclaim.
Donate everything still working and the rest goes to a medical school for practice.
Do that and your organs will get sold from the back of a van
Not in Spain.
Become entirely homeless and cut off all contacts and remove all identification so no one will be around to care when you die.
I’m sincerely curious, what is done with corpses like that? And who takes care of it?
God that sounds so nice.
Well, in my mind it’s freezing to death on a side walk pressed against a wall trying to stay under the one unobstructed over hang.
Please, I can only get so erect.
Get eaten by a shark
There are burial grounds that are basically natural parks, where you have to be buried in something biodegradable, like a shroud or pine needle basket, and no grave markers are allowed besides something like a tree or uncut rock. (Burial locations are recorded by gps.) I’d like to be buried in one of these places. Not sure what the cost is, though.
Ironically enough, it sounds expensive because it sounds like someone bought a bunch of land for that purpose to appeal to people who want to be buried naturally. Big money Maker for them.
Wouldn’t that also be funeral industry
Don’t die. That’ll teach them.
That’s my plan. So far it’s working out!
It’s been 20 hours so far since you last reported, Still holding up?
You’ll get bored eventually.
Missing at sea could count
Science Vs. did a great episode on Human Composting a few years back. It’s really touching and highlights a fantastic way to convert your death into life.
Here is a link to the episode. https://open.spotify.com/episode/6reXXkhnvGxpSvnCz8wP2c

Is it a luxury option for the rich?
No. As far as I know, its the cheapest legal option. The only hurdle is that only like 10 states allow it as a legal option.
i will donate my body to a necrophilia foundation
What in the fuck did I just read?
Anyway the disclaimer at the bottom of the page is gold
But which one would you choose there are so many
Holy shit, can those even exist anywhere? You got me thinking. It feels like a potential rabbit hole.
Dude takes his kinks seriously. Let your freak flag fly over your grave.

I’ll give his family 15 bucks for the skull and dispose of the rest. I know a guy.
Do the hands still have any grip to them?
give me $20 and it stays in my will until someone else gives me $30
Pay a local taxidermist to stuff you so your kid/friend/partner can have you hang out in their living room. I told my mom I’m gonna have her stuffed and posed like a bear.
Thinking about this now it makes sense why my mom picked my sister as the executor.
The one idea I have is to be taxidermied; doing an obscene gesture,
I want to be turned into a drone. I’ll be just like this cat. It will be a much larger version. Used for deliveries or emergency services. And I will be completely naked.
