I’d like to become a tree.

    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.

    There’s still some active tar pits. I’m surprised nobody is intentionally trying to become a fossil. It would be cool to do some weird shit to mess with the aliens who find your fossil in 10,000 years or so.

    You ever get rid of a couch by having that garbage truck with the grinder on the back chew up that couch in about 3 seconds and leave nothing but a tiny bit of sawdust on the pavement? I want that.

      That’s honestly pretty bog-standard. That’s a term I learned on here a few days ago.

    Strip me for parts and give the rest to science. I’m not real sentimental about my body once I’m done with it.

      We did this for my dad, and my mom will follow the same path, I think.

      Some burocracy (and educating burocrats, as the law allowing for this in my country 🇦🇷 is recent) but it’s worth to do something useful of oneself after death while not enriching the post-mortem mafia.

      Of course both my brother and I want the same for ourselves.

    Don’t think I’ll have the capacity to care, but put me in the ground with nothing but a light porous cloth covering so all the nutrients and microorganisms can be utilized by nature.

    I want my skin and muscle tissue removed, and then I would like to be shot into space.

    It’s playing a long con, and I might fall into a star before I ever get the chance, but it would be really funny if some space explorer encountered a floating human skeleton and got spooked.

    Green burial. No preservatives, no permanent structures, just natural decay and completing the circle of life. Don’t pickle me for a funeral just get me in the ground asap.

    Cremate me and grind my ashes into small particles.

    Then take those ashes and mix them into dark spices like pepper as a filler. Sell it to the general population.

    I will be vored. I will be inside you. I will become part of you. You cannot stop this.

    I found a service that will mix your ashes in concrete and make you into an artificial reef. I like the idea of getting coral and sea fans to grow on me.

    Ideally there would be no body to bury. Think about it, can you think of a boring way to die where your body is never found?

    Of course i’m making sure my death will be adventurous by staying at my computer and never going outside. Totally won’t die of a heart attack like a loser.
