“Y’all can bury me loose.”

Bury me in the back yard. Meh.

Gork ,

I like the idea of having the entire family pool in money to get a single, large, shared funerary urn. Dump my ashes in with my ancestors and give it a good stir.

I too have thought about the family urn. Throw in the pet ashes too!

Eww, I don’t want to be touching great-uncle Harvey!

Even knowing the crazy shit that happens when your body is "donated for science" I still want it. It would be neat for some weirdo to have my skull on their shelf, or get dissected in front of an audience.

Now that I think about it, I should sell off my body parts like a Ferengi.

I don’t care if some psychopathic med student uses my body as a puppet while doing a silly voice. I don’t care if they play Weekend at Bernies with it. That prick will be saving lives soon enough, that’s all that matters. When I disrespectfully dissected a fetal pig in high school bio, I still learned something.

What if they resurrect your brain in a jar and make you watch Justin Bieber videos all day?

I don’t believe in hell

MrsDoyle ,

I want this too. I saw a documentary about a dying man who took this option. They interviewed him about the decision, then after his death filmed medical students dissecting him (from a distance, it was discreet) and interviewed them about the experience. They were grateful for his gift, and incredibly respectful when speaking about him.

The thing is, the inside of a body looks nothing like the nice tidy diagrams. It’s a mess in there! I’d like these kids to practise on dead me before they start cutting into live people.

It’s my understanding that most bodies “donated to science” end up as medical school cadavers, that you’ll be a semester’s lab equipment for four graduate students.

That would also be good, but Last Week Tonight did a story that showed the reality is more like I described

the average cost of a casket is usually between $2,000 and $5,000

Anticorp ,

You used to be able to get a pine box for $500. Idk what they cost now. I only know this because I had the misfortune of having to plan a funeral for someone.

KingJalopy ,

I’ll build you one for $495

xor ,

if you donate your organs, the hospital will cremate the leftovers for free…

@BonesOfTheMoon Funerals are bourgeoisie BS. $ 700 cremations include a cardboard box

BonesOfTheMoon OP ,

I used to know a guy who embalmed his own wife (yes I’m serious!) who offered to get me a deal when the time came for cheap cremation but sadly he died first.

MrsDoyle ,

A funeral I attended recently had a plywood coffin and a bunch of felt-tip pens for people to write messages with. At another one a while back, the coffin was wickerwork.

NocturnalMorning ,

I’ve always said to dump me in a ditch somewhere, I’m not gonna care, I’ll be dead. If anybody pays for an expensive ass coffin for me, I will come back and haunt their ass.

Burial Pod baby: 8billiontrees.com/…/tree-pod-burial/

I would have liked a sky burial or something.

excitingburp ,

This is basically what I want done, composting and then burial under a redwood sapling. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_composting

Agent641 ,

My plan, if I live old enough to be facing debilitating age-related illness is to organize all my assets to be distributed beforehand, then hike out into the middle of a dense forest where I cant possibly be found, dig a shallow pit to lie in, and die there by whatever means tickles me at the time.

There are no large predators where I live, so Id just be slowly dissected by the ants and the beetles.

Bene Gesserit burials in “Chapterhouse” sound like it: dig a vertical hole, put the body in with (presumably) biodegradable wrapping, plant a tree on it.

Sadrockman ,
@Sadrockman@sh.itjust.works avatar

I’ve said the same thing,same reasoning, but my wife and kids lost their minds when I suggested it. I even suggested planting a tree so they could have a place to consider “me” to be,no dice. So good luck to you and everyone else concerned with saving money or hassle out there.

mortrek ,

You basically just rephrased multiple scenes with Frank in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia…

“I mean, I don’t give a shit. If I was dead you could bang me all you want. I mean, who cares? A dead body is like a piece of trash. I mean, shove as much shit in there as you want. Fill me up with cream, make a stew out of my ass. What’s the big deal? Bang me, eat me, grind me up into little pieces, throw me in the river. Who gives a shit? You’re dead, you’re dead! Oh shit! Is my mic on?”

or another episode: “When I die, just throw me in the trash!”

Just thought it was funny to find people mirroring Frank Reynolds in real life… although I always pretty much agreed with him. I’m more concerned with how traumatizing it’d be for my family to see me in a ditch, or being filled with cream.

Diabolo96 ,

You sure about that buddy ?

scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2718

msgraves ,

oh god that scp keeps me up at night

Diabolo96 ,

Yeah, it keep popping in mind from time to time. All we can do is hope it’s not what actually happens and move on or otherwise we’d become mad.

FlihpFlorp ,

The page isn’t loading for me, what is it?

Don’t know much about scp but always love what horrors people think of

msgraves ,

huh, sometimes wikidot decides to break for a while, does it work now?

FlihpFlorp ,

Not yet sadly

msgraves ,

what is it?
