I just want them to play “it’s raining men” as they scatter my ashes. Because, well…
What about “Freedom,” by George Michael?
Great song. I can’t think of a worse time to play it’s raining men than when it’s literally raining men, tho
Coffins are a huge waste of money and space. Cremation’s the way to go.
in general, agreed on the point about coffins, and using land just for butial into perpetuity is not a great tradition.
If and where it’s just about the use of a box, and/or about the using of land space solely for burial, then one other option they can adress bith of these is ‘green conservation butkal’.
The land is used for nature and ecosystem restoration and conservation at the same time, and there is no box/coffin required at all. They can also sometimes be less expensive than conventional burial (with the box and the embalming and so on) or even conventional cremation. Some more about the subject at:
Fuck it. Cryo.
That’s right, cryo is both cheap, viable, and resource light! Just smack some solar panels on that badboy and you won’t even have to think about rising electricity prices.
Fuck, I wish I was cryofrozen right now.
If things don’t go well, I’m probably not going to mind
Just throw me in the garbage, man.
Hey, that’s taken! Find your own garbage death pit, damn freeloader.
To be fair cremation probably can cost the same or more depending on the additional cost. It’s stupid why death cost so much financially. Families already facing the emotional cost of losing their love ones.
It’s always been cheaper in my experience.
How many people did you cremate? And at what point does it become cost effective to invest in a small kitchen cremator?
If you are an aspiring serial killer planning on serial killing then I’d say at victim #3 you should really invest in a small kitchen cremator to ignite your serial killing career
Mmmmmm cereal
At a certain point in life you’ll usually have 6 family members who have died, and if you live even longer you’ll start having friends die.

Catch me going out in that burnt mustard death whip babeee 😎
But seriously, it’s natural burial AKA “green burial” for me.
I’m going to have a sky burial.
Classy
Is that the one where you’re offered up to vultures while your loved ones watch them pick your bones clean and fly away?
Honey we’ve been over this: when I die, my remains are to be embalmed and presented like so.
If you can’t afford that or don’t want to bother, just throw me in the trash 🙂
“Offer not available in all areas”
ominous music starts playing
When I die, roast weenies over my funeral pyre and blast old Judas Priest albums out of a boom box.
I hope someone in this thread is taking notes on everyone’s post-mortem directives they’re leaving in the comments.
Hell, it’s in my will: funeral roast, weenie roast, Judas Priest on the boombox, and public bisexual fornication for all willing adult participants.
Specify the weenies that are to be roasted before the bisexual fornication, please.
Nah. I really want to make my death someone else’s problem.
Also, people aren’t going to care about proper disposal when the apocalypse kicks in.
someone else’s problem
Me, looking at the semi approaching from the opposing direction of the highway:
They’re already doing mass graves in Gaza
Save thousands by picking the ugly color for your coffin!
Act fast! Bile yellow is selling out quickly!
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.
Ziplock bag and a catapult.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu
Donate your used meat parts to your local medical school. It’s fun, educational, and a great way to stay in shape!
It’s fun
I loved it when I dismembered a human /s
I would honestly like to get to do that at least once
In school?
That works for me
Would you prefer it somewhere else?
i want the penis!
I’m gonna eat a bunch of weird shit like rocks and styrofoam before I die, and confuse the shit out of whatever student gets to dissect my stomach
Mind if I join you?
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.
Dump my body unceremoniously on the lawn of a billionaire.
I like that idea !
Ocean is public property. Float around the world in 800 days
In the stomach of three sharks, twenty crabs and that one weird turtle
Surprisingly still more useful than being put in a box.
Cremate me and blow my ashes in their eyes.
I’m here for this!
Hm I wonder if this counts as praxis
Well when I die, it is not my problem anymore…
I left VERY clear instructions to throw me in the trash.
When I die, I don’t give a shit what happens to my body, do whatever causes people and the planet the least ammount of crap.
I weigh alot, so use a cart to wheel me around so you don’t injure your backs trying to carry me.
If cremation is the least bad, do that, if freeze drying is less bad than that, do that.
If you can use my corpse for science or education, go ahead.
Just, please wait untill I am dead.

okay, I’m sure
RedditLemmy comments serve as a legal last will and testament & post-mortem directives. So we will remember what you told us.I will trust that you act a notary public on the matter.
K. I mean there are like three other seriously important things for my bare minimal survival that I’ve been procrastinating for weeks, but sure I’ll get right on that.
Basically what I specified in my will
Had to plan an unexpected funeral. They were going to be cremated but we wanted to have a service first. They have caskets, that are meant to be burnt, for the low price of $6,000. This was over 10 years ago too. I’m sure it’s much more now.
Only 6k? That’s a steal! As in “they are blatantly stealing money from you”
We just rented the casket for my father’s funeral. Then he was shipped to the crematorium.
Shit. Ours were $150USD pine boxes. Ugly as sin, but they got the job done.
Jeez, a refrigerator-sized cardboard box would be free.
you know, I was thinkingaabout purpose made carborad caskets, and they do exit, but reusing a fridge box seems like an even more fun idea if thats something that appeal to loving peron planning thir future funeral a More eco friendly, and more evonomical as yiu metión. 📦
also a shout out to the idea of shorids, in that cade case a clean old beafheet of the right size and material, will probanly work just as well as any shroud, for a burial. (For some some burial grounds, no box needed, just a shroud is perfectly fine. basically a fabric sheet wrapping. low cost it potentially free)
It’s not that absurd if you’re thinking of your family. Just… myself and other people have way different priorities. Some that might involve dipping my corpse in peanut butter and covering it in birdseed so that I might be the world’s first human pinecone bird feeder.
Edit: I just hope when I’m dead there is one person around to say, “He’s dead, he could in no way possible give one more single fuck…”
Make a will for the edit part
I agree with the edit so much
