I had to pay the trash company to take an old couch. They sent over a special truck that ate that sofa bed in seconds and all that was left on the road were some wood splinters. That was when I knew how I wanted to be disposed of after I die.

I've always said to dump me in a ditch somewhere, I'm not gonna care, I'll be dead. If anybody pays for an expensive ass coffin for me, I will come back and haunt their ass.

Your body is a resource. Don't throw it away or bury it, give it to a gothy craftsman in exchange for half the jewelry made from it going to your family. It literally triples your chances of acquiring haunting privileges.

A reminder to everyone that Costco sells caskets: https://www.costco.com/funeral-caskets.html

And every funeral home legally has to allow you to purchase the casket elsewhere per the FTC: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/ftc-funeral-rule (That doc also has a lot of other useful tips in it.)

Even knowing the crazy shit that happens when your body is "donated for science" I still want it. It would be neat for some weirdo to have my skull on their shelf, or get dissected in front of an audience.

Now that I think about it, I should sell off my body parts like a Ferengi.

In Edge runners, they were putting people's cremated remains in stainless steel capsule, like a world's worst kinder surprise. That struck me as being very plausible in the future.

Air frying is just a convection cremation, you know.

I told my wife that when I die, if she can, claim she doesn't recognize the body so that the state has to dispose of me to save costs.

I want my remains to be scattered around wonderland. Also, no cremation

As a woodworker, my first thought is 'I can build my own casket for a tenth of that price."

My second thought is "Damn I need to get into the casket industry."

Just fling me into a wood chipper, and point it at the ground in a field somewhere.

Failing that, I've always loved the idea of being strapped to a rocket and launched into space.

If all else fails, I'd like my family to perform a (mostly) shot-for-shot remake of the funeral scene from GoW: Ragnarok.

Funeral homes will try to guilt trip you to go for the most expensive options by saying it will be the last thing you can do for your loved ones.

Am I the only one that thinks a Viking burial with a raft cobbled together out of logs and stuff by my loved ones would be awesome?

For when you need that last extra special grope of capitalism

I like the idea of having the entire family pool in money to get a single, large, shared funerary urn. Dump my ashes in with my ancestors and give it a good stir.

Just shoot me out of a cannon

You sure about that buddy ?

I've made it very known that I wanna be thrown in to the woods to rot when I die.

You just wait to find out how much it cost to make the hole and then to close it. Or to just purchase the little spot of ground that you're going to be buried beneath. Or how about the giant concrete box they have to bury you in to which goes your casket. Or spending $600 on a single splay flowers..... With a bow.

Just throw me in the trash

I'm finally going to medical school!

Harvard Medical. As a cadaver. They'll return my ashes to my son when the students are finished hacking my fat ass up for science.

Put me on the lawn so I can finally fertlize it like I said I would.

In the mighty words of Danny devito, "when I'm dead, just throw me in the trash."

I consider it to be alarming because it can encourage people to choose cremation unnecessarily, just because it fits the budget. I would not take away or mock anyone's choice to cremate if that really is their first choice...

But I think it's upsetting for Orthodox Christians and other groups that require burial and would like to have a dignified casket at an affordable price. Just like how I sometimes feel bothered thinking about *the cost of burial plots." The idea of being fleeced of a significant part of a modest inheritance through the funerary process is really off-putting.
