  Why do they paywall all the fun stuff behind being dead

  That part doesn’t matter one single shit to me. So what? I’d be dead. It doesn’t matter what happens to my body when I’m dead.

  For that matter, why should anyone give a shit? Society has this really illogical view on corpses. We place way too much reverence on empty husks of meat. They are dead. Dead. The person who was there is gone. Their body is not them.

  And if the person had some dying wish to be buried or cremated or anything like that, you don’t have to honor it. That’s the thing about respecting the wishes of dead people; they are dead, their opinion matters as much as the opinion of a brick. You don’t honor their memory by spending thousands of dollars to put an empty husk of meat pumped full of chemicals into a gaudy box and bury it in the ground next to hundreds of other boxes filled with empty meat husks. You honor their memory by remembering them. That’s it.

  Have a funeral. Have a remembrance party. Mourn them with stories, with tears, and with an abundance of drink and unhealthy comfort food. The body does not need to be a part of it.
