When you die, what do you want to be done with you?

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

    We did this for my dad, amd my mom will follow, I think.

    Some burocracy (and educating burocrats, as the law allowing for this in my country 🇦🇷 is recent) but it’s worth to do something useful of oneself after death while not enriching the post-mortem mafia.

    Of course both my brother and I want the same for ourselves.

    I don’t thing corpse borne explosive device(CBEDs) are a legal form of burial, but I am not one to stand in the way of someone’s dreams so long as nobody is physically harmed.

  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.

    Now that’s an idea…

• MossyFeathers@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Cremate me and grind my ashes into small particles.

  Then take those ashes and mix them into dark spices like pepper as a filler.

  I will be vored. I will be inside you. I will become part of you. You cannot stop this.

      I’m not into this as a sexual thing. I will ascend and take control as my body becomes part of your chemical processes. I will become a part of you. mwahahhahah!

  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.

  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.

  source

  • shalafi@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Forgot about the donation angle! I’m signed up for organ donation, need to get that more clear in my will, but whole-body donation would be great.

    Worst case, med students can have a go, see how bones heal, stuff like that.

    source
• w3dd1e@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  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.

• ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Literally just throw me in a ditch idgaf as long as my body is allowed to naturally decay and recycle the energy back into the ecosystem.

  Stop locking bodies in boxes that take decades to decay.

  Reminder to leave instructions for your loved ones, regardless of your age or health. One of the hardest decisions your family will go through is trying to guess what you’d want.

  Donate all my usable organs, plant a fruit tree in the empty chest, preferably in the yard of my family home.

  source

  • spittingimage@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Should they bury you as well, or do you plan to be a year-round Hallowe’en decoration?

    source

    • agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      That’s a good point. Take out my skeleton and preserve it for display, bury the meat with the tree.

    church organ donation.

    source
• ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

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

  source
• Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  I had planned on (organ donation first of course, but then) cremation, mostly to make my leftover remains easier and cheaper to deal with. Lately I’ve heard about rapid-composting, which is supposed to be more environmental. So that might be good. But it might be more expensive, in which case back to the plan.

  source

  • lousyd@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Rapid composting, like, turn you into soil?

    source

    • Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Yes

      An example:

      earthfuneral.com

      (I looked up “human composting” and Google knows I live in California, ymmv)

      source
• LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  I don’t really care, not planning on dying within the next few decades. Maybe by then, we’ll already be in space, and whoever has to make that decision can just push my body out of the air lock.

    You can never truly be prepared for death, natural death just like accidental death can happen at anytime in any place with out you knowing until it’s too late.

      Good point. I should already be registered as an organ donor, although I have no idea how that process works.

  Resurrected or uploaded.

  source

  • bss03@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    If it is possible for the mind to survive the death of the body, I also think uploading would be fine. It’s a risk to be sure, but not having a body would actually address a lot of my current disappointments.

    If resurrection is possible, I’d like to think the death could be prevented. But, I’ll take it if uploading is not available and death of the body is still inevitable.

    source

    • thawed_caveman@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Makes me wonder what the experience would be like for the mind being uploaded. Do you feel like you have a body? Can you change what that body is? And before you do anything fun with that new hot body, you should know that anywhere you can go is still in a simulation, so you can be tracked and observed at all times.

      Speaking of that, can you adapt to the concept of “being somewhere” becoming meaningless?

  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.

  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.

  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.

  source

  • lousyd@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    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.
