No Stupid Questions

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.

Very honestly, since I was a child I wanted to be burned to a point where the flesh is gone but the bones are still intact and have the bones buried.

I think it is even possible to do that in Austria but I live in Germany and obviously no one is going to spend time, money, and energy on these shenanigans once I am dead. But if I could selfishly wish for a way, this would be it. There are reasons for why I don't want to be buried and why I don't want to be cremated and this would feel... The rightest.

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

Used as a prop for a Halloween haunted house.

The matter that makes up my cells has been going through the cycle of life for god knows how long. All I know is I’ll be pissed if that cycle is cut off to isolate that matter in a metal box in the ground.

Something cheap for my family.

Vengeful spirit, for sure.

My wish has also been to become a tree actually.

Its not legal where i live but i prefer if my body was buried as is without coffin in a forest so flora and fungi can feast on my nutrients.

If I can have anything, I want to explode into a bunch of butterflies.

If only real options are available, I am hoping composting is legal by then. Just be turned back into dirt and plants.

If you want to be a tree, go cremation. Trees get their carbon from the air not the soil.

Dump my ashes into Mariana's Trench. That way I can contribute to the local ecology...somehow.

Bury me "buns-up" in a sidewalk downtown so someone has a place to park their bicycle.

I don’t personally care. Burials and other ceremonies are for the living. I’d prefer something that doesn’t harm our environment and to donate as many organs as possible, but that’s pretty much it.

I like what you said about being a tree. I may steal that.

I don’t have kids. I plan to leave my assets to a charity. Probably something for animals but I haven’t really planned that far ahead yet.

I would like to remain dead

I've organised to have my body donated to a medical school for dissection. It was quite complicated, lots of forms to be filled in and witnessed. My executor has to phone the university when I die & they send a van to collect me. They won't accept my body if I've died of something communicable, or it was eg some accident that left me too mangled. When they're done with me I'll be cremated and my name goes up on a plaque in a special garden.

Fuck it, I wanna be cryogenically frozen, if I can have the chance of living hundreds of years in the future, no matter how slim, I'd rather be prepared.

I'm an organ donor, but I suspect my organs won't be worth much by the time I'm done with them.

I would like someone to rent a tree spade, one if those trucks that can pick up a nature tree with us for ball, pick up a nice tree, wrap me in linen, throw me in the hole, and drop the trees back into the hole on top of me.

I want my nutrients returned to the earth.

That means that green burial, human composting, burial at sea, and aquamation are all options.

I absolutely do not want cremation. It’s an energy intensive process that also renders the deceased’s accumulated nutrients unavailable to other organisms.

This thread also reminds me that I need to revoke the organ donor status from my driver’s license. As much as I like / appreciate the concept, a viable organ donation requires dying in a hospital. I would prefer to pass outdoors in a natural setting that I feel connected to or, at worst, in my own home.

Thrown in a ditch

Prop me up beside the jukebox.

I want my body donated to a body farm.

Scatter my remains across Disney World, although I don't want to be cremated.

install doom on me

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

Donate my body to science if possible, failing that, dispose of me in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

Once I am dead I have no care for my body, maximize the use of it or minimize the impact of it.

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.

THROW ME IN THE TRAAAASH

If I had my way about it, I'd have a tree planted over me, but I don't expect to know the difference, so I don't really think about it much.

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.

viking style. I want to be pushed out to sea on a magnificent hand-crafted canoe. Then someone is going to shoot a flaming arrow into my canoe and I'll go out in a blaze of glory. No one said you can't request this and I think it would be pretty sweet. Needs instrumental accompaniment.

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.
