If money were no issue, I would fund a billion-dollar research into longevity. If we could only stop bombing our enemies, we would have figured this out along time ago.
I'd much rather be a fertilizer that nourishes some environment than in a box taking up land in some hole. I hate how our primary body exposal processes(cremation/burial) remove humans from the circle of life.
My point is that from embalming the dead to putting them in sealed boxes in the ground, the intention is to avoid decaying and naturally returning to the circle of life. Most coffins buried nowadays are sealed in concrete vaults btw.
Oh, interesting. I didn't know that they were sealed in concrete. I think we put the dead in a coffin because as long as we know their bodies are there, it's like they aren't really gone.
There's a place in Springfield, MO that turns your ashes into powder for fireworks that your family gets to design and set off. That's what I would do.
I'm telling anyone who's left to just do whatever's cheapest and pocket as much of the life insurance and estate as possible. I'm just a corpse at that point you could just toss me out in the woods for all it really mattered.
I'm going to be dead. I don't right care what they do with my corpse. Whatever's cheapest works. The whole funeral thing is for the benefit of the living anyway.
I want a viking burial where I'm on a boat and get pushed out on to the ocean or lake and a fire arrow that sets the boat on fire then a massive party to remember me
Just recycle me. Use me as fertilizer or something. I don't want to go to waste in a box. If I can't continue to enjoy the world, at least let all my bodily bacteria get out and enjoy it for me.
Space burial but nix ashes in low orbit, whole body in a sturdy coffin (think Spock in Star Trek II), and full blast into intergalactic space. Outta here ;)
