    I’ve told my family more than once to arrange my funeral the cheapest way possible. If they had the option to dump me in the ocean, they have my blessing. Don’t spend money on me, I’m DEAD.

      Donate your used meat parts to your local medical school. It’s fun, educational, and a great way to stay in shape!

      Funerals are for the living.

      Don’t tell your family what to do at your funeral, because you’ll be dead. It’s not for you, it’s for the people left behind. So let them do what they feel is right.

      Besides, how could ever know or care? You’re DEAD.

        ^- this right here is the right answer.

        I have a song I’d like to be played for the 5 people who’ll attend, but that’s more about the message it convey - if I don’t get to use my death to influence people, then I guess I don’t really have a choice. I have a preference with regard to burial vs cremation, but that’s it. For the rest, you figure it out. Don’t want to maintain a burial plot? Fine, don’t want a tomb stone? Fine. You have to deal with it, so you get to decide.

      I mean, what this ad should really read is “save your family thousands”. If you can afford it and have the resources, preplan your whole burial plan so your family can just grieve instead of dealing with all the admin of it.

      You can go ahead and prepay for the service, even if it’s just cremation and stuffing your bone dust in a cardboard box.

      That way your family doesn’t have to both grieve and figure out arrangements.
