Is Soylent Green another Option?
Oh geez Margie!
You should see the other guy
There's actually human composting now, too! (I'm a mortician)
Only certain states, right?
I catch ask a mortician on YouTube every once in a while. She's a big advocate of the composting and the water cremation.
Yup! Human composting is only legal in Vermont, California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado right now.
That channel gets enough wrong that I can't support it. The biggest thing wrong that I've heard a million times is that you don't have to be embalmed. If there is going to be a viewing, more than 48 hours after death, even just with next of kin; there, legally, has to be embalming to stop the biohazard risk in most states. If you want a direct burial or cremation, you don't need to be embalmed; but if the public will be around the deceased, embalming is almost always required. Even in those that aren't mandatory after 48 hours, there's a massive liability waiver because of how dangerous it is, and you won't be able to touch them without gloves.
Bummer that she gets things wrong like that. I mostly just watch her tell historical stories. She can spin a mighty entertaining yarn.
Oh definitely. I created a show after I had to stop mortuary work (genetic disability) because it's fascinating. I even ran the Wayne State University Funeral History Museum for 3 years.
Is human composting a mainstream option now, or only offered at select mortuaries?

I'm game, sign me up. I don't want to join any zombie hordes again
hate it when that happens
Again?
Think about it, we put our dead in the sun to dry and after they become dead jearky we chop them in small pieces and recicle as bricks! We can build thousands of houses! And we can even use the cemetery grounds, since there will be no more burials! Win x Win x Win!
You can live with your loved ones for ever; End the cemetery space problems; End Homelessness; Save the planet!
Fargo Style
I can picture the minced meat being fed to pigs
You mean the Fargo Chips(TM)? 😁
Fourth option
Nice that there's a separate bin for organic
First step to mulching the rich.. ¯\(ツ)/¯
This way you fertilize the land more quickly.
Not me, direct the output right onto the BBQ.
Dinner and a show you know how to entertain
The Fargo Option
"It is our most modestly-priced disposal method."
We've had a doozy of a day officer.
That would be so metal. I now know how I would want to go out.
I'm ordering one for my funeral so I can rain down on the guests
I guess it's at least more environmentally friendly
Since we're on the topic, does anyone know if there's a Fargo community in existence somewhere on Lemmy?
I wish
Death by Volvo sounds good to me
Definitely wanna look both ways before crossing when this beast is on the road or no one will see you again
Naturally...
Yep I can see this is a Dutch car and environment, which makes sense they do like being efficient.
Human composting?
Damn now that's hardcore lmao
🍋 Well worth it.
It's called "branching out", having new offers and so on. Gotta be trendy to invest into that.
Scattering the remains has long been a custom
Remibds me of the woodchipper interrogation from the punisher
I'd go with that when I'm gone. Just plant a tree over me.
I say just throw me in the trash !
