Harvest for transplant whatever organs I haven't managed to destroy and then put my ass in one of these. And if I am lucky enough to still have any money at all by then, please bury it in the Pacific Northwest.

Pretty much the same. I'd like to be useful for other living beings instead of being sealed in a useless wooden box or a glorified ashtray.

[-] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Seems only fair since I've been eating them my entire life.

[-] SandLight@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Stuffed and mounted in a ferocious pose. Hide me in the closet of someone you don't like.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 4 months ago

Give my body to a cabal of necrophiliacs so I can continue to be fucked in death as I was in life.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 months ago

Take what someone else can use (not sell), chuck the rest in a hole in the ground in the middle of the woods.

[-] fiendishplan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I've asked my wife for a closed coffin just because I think the open ones are weird as f-. Other then that I'm going to be dead so it won't matter.

[-] frankPodmore@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 months ago

I'd like my corpse to be used to frame someone for murder. Obviously I can't name names, because that would undermine the plot, but I trust my loved ones to frame up someone who has it coming.

I think just cremation. Get rid of this body suit. :)

I'm excited for what's next.

I would also like to become a tree! My grandma’s cabin that I spent a lot of time at growing up is right next to a national forest. I hope that type of service is more widely available when I die

[-] viking@infosec.pub 1 points 4 months ago

Whatever my wife feels like, assuming she's the one to survive me. I don't hold any religious beliefs demanding me to do something specific with my body, so I'll leave it to her to decide.

Should she be passing before me, I'd just want to be cremated and scattered somewhere in the most cost efficient way to not affect anyone's finances.

[-] coriza@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

First, don't spend money on it. That is the most important. Second, if possible make something useful of my body, like donating to science. I listened to a podcast about this "cemetery" that is a research facility and they let the bodies decompose in a variety of situations to study the process. Third, don't do any funeral or rituals and that includes keeping a cemetery lapid or stuff like that.

One exception is if someone wants to do something really funny and weird, like the guy that wanted his skull preserved and the rest made into two diamonds that would be fitted to the skull and to be kept like in the living room to judge everyone or something.

I took up enough precious space on this bitch of an Earth in life, so my only wish is to take up as little of it as possible in death.

No giant overpriced wooden box in a concrete case on a dedicated plot of land, filled with fanciful linens to wrap my lifeless husk specifically treated to rot away as slowly as possible. Not if I get a say. Burn my dead ass to ashes and preferably scatter them to the wind, I don't care where. Or, as a wise Danny DeVito said, throw me in the trash. Nature will have its way with what's left. I'm crumbling to entropy anyway, might as well get it over with as efficiently as I can.

I will not ""become"" a tree, or ""return to"" anyplace. I want to be gone. My lease on this world is over. I explicitly want that lease returned, to the fullest extent it matters.

Not like I'd necessarily get a say, though. Funerals and their rituals are for the living. The ultimate conclusion of my wish to command nothing of the world after I'm gone is that I also can't command what happens to my remains after I'm gone. I can express my wishes, but if no one agrees to honor them, so be it.

If my loved ones want to stuff my corpse in a monkey suit and bury it in an expensive box on a dedicated plot of land for 100 years because that's how they want to greive my passing, who am I to stop them? I'm dead.

I’d like to be put into a meat grinder and fed to a critically endangered species so the earth has an opportunity to say fuck you to humans

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

That's just a burial with extra steps

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Vengeful spirit, for sure.

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Used as a prop for a Halloween haunted house.

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 1 points 4 months ago

Any parts that can be used to improve a human life should be used that way. Then any parts that can be used to improve animal/plant life should be used that way. Then the rest should be disposed of in the manner that consumes the fewest resources.

But, I'll be gone; you guys can do whatever with it; I won't care.

[-] IMNOTCRAZYINSTITUTION@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I want to be cremated. I want my wife to keep the ashes for as long as she wants and then eventually spread them so my atoms can return to the earth

[-] Surp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago
[-] november@lemmy.vg 1 points 4 months ago

I won't be there, so I don't care as long as it's not something bad for the environment.

[-] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I said body farm, my wife was too creeped out by that. So then it was "donated to science" but then those nasty body brokers get your parts and sell them wherever so now it's natural burial.

In Colorado one can be buried on private property not designated as a graveyard so if whatever county I end up in is cool with it, just plant me in the back yard.

I don't really care, not planning on dying within the next few decades. Maybe by then, we'll already be in space, and whoever has to make that decision can just push my body out of the air lock.

Not my problem... Whatever my SO/surviving descendants want is good by me.

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

We're gonna make you into a real horse chandelier then.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago

I mean, I guess the heart and stuff will still be good. The brain is going to be splattered all over the wall though.

[-] Dlayknee@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Hey man, are you ok? Do you want to talk about anything?
