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

  The bog.

    That’s honestly pretty bog-standard. That’s a term I learned on here a few days ago.

  Medical school.

    this, take whatever organs you find useful. leave the rest to decay in the wilderness somewhere

  Having recently watched Andor, I think I’d like to be made into a brick and used as a weapon against fascists.

    Well boy are you alive at the right time!

      Sure am!

  Eat me, bang me, fill me up with cream. Who gives a shit?

  I told my kids to claim my skull for the mantle and compost the rest

  Just throw me in the trash

  Become dogfood

    You got something against dogs?

  Something cheap for my family.

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

  • lousyd@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I thought cremains would be worse for the tree.

    source

    • spittingimage@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      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.

    Thats just carbon though. Surely the nutrients in the ground are equally important.

  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.

  I would like to remain dead

  Thrown in a ditch

    When I read the question, I immediately heard Frank Reynolds saying “when I’m dead, just throw me in the trash”. Lol

  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.

  • lousyd@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Could you leave the organ donor status just in case you die in a hospital?

    source
• Batman@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  I want my body donated to a body farm.

  Sky Burial!!!

• Psythik@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  I don’t give a fuck because I’m dead and won’t be there to see it.

  Do whatever you want with my corpse.

  I think just cremation. Get rid of this body suit. :)

  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.

  I want to be explosively shot into space go back to being stardust.

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

  Organ donation process, then load my body in to my shitbox car along with as much of my bullshit that fits in it, light it all on fire and trebuchet it into a quarry or something.

  Space burial

  I would also like to become a tree! My grandma’s cabin that I spent a lot of time at growing up is right next to a national forest. I hope that type of service is more widely available when I die

    Oh that would be nice!

  You ever get rid of a couch by having that garbage truck with the grinder on the back chew up that couch in about 3 seconds and leave nothing but a tiny bit of sawdust on the pavement? I want that.

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

  Sky burial! Hack me up and feed me to animals and plants. That way I can at least give some of the energy back that I consumed in my life
