    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.

        They are. I researched it because my mother wanted to grow a lemon tree from her cremains. Human ashes are too acidic for most plants to grow in unless you mix them with soil or compost. Which doesn’t seem at all respectful.

    I’ve always thought sky burials are pretty cool, but as a person living in North America who has no plans to move to Tibet or take up Buddhism, that’s completely impractical. Next best thing might be for my to be placed on a body farm.

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

    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 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.

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

    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.

    Just throw my body in the trash. And no religious burial. I’ll be damned if some pastor who doesn’t know shit about me give an hour long eulogy about Jesus over my corpse.

      The pastor I hired to deliver the sermon at my dad’s funeral literally implied that my dad was not “up above” but “down below”. I think it’s because we asked him to keep it non-religious and he was being petty.
