I’d like to become a tree.
Scatter my remains across Disney World, although I don’t want to be cremated.
How about dehydrated like jerky?
“This is an outrage! I was going to eat that mummy!”
I don’t thing corpse borne explosive device(CBEDs) are a legal form of burial, but I am not one to stand in the way of someone’s dreams so long as nobody is physically harmed.
Strip me for parts and give the rest to science. I’m not real sentimental about my body once I’m done with it.
We did this for my dad, and my mom will follow the same path, I think.
Some burocracy (and educating burocrats, as the law allowing for this in my country 🇦🇷 is recent) but it’s worth to do something useful of oneself after death while not enriching the post-mortem mafia.
Of course both my brother and I want the same for ourselves.
Yeh. This.
This and compost the rest. Now available in WA!
install doom on me
What are your specs?
Toaster.
I don’t personally care. Burials and other ceremonies are for the living. I’d prefer something that doesn’t harm our environment and to donate as many organs as possible, but that’s pretty much it.
I like what you said about being a tree. I may steal that.
I don’t have kids. I plan to leave my assets to a charity. Probably something for animals but I haven’t really planned that far ahead yet.
Right on.
THROW ME IN THE TRAAAASH
I tell my wife that I want to be cremated and then have a ceremony to dump my ashes in the bin. I find the idea hilarious.
Bury me “buns-up” in a sidewalk downtown so someone has a place to park their bicycle.
Now that is an idea I’ve not yet heard.
I found a service that will mix your ashes in concrete and make you into an artificial reef. I like the idea of getting coral and sea fans to grow on me.
Now that’s an idea…
viking style. I want to be pushed out to sea on a magnificent hand-crafted canoe. Then someone is going to shoot a flaming arrow into my canoe and I’ll go out in a blaze of glory. No one said you can’t request this and I think it would be pretty sweet. Needs instrumental accompaniment.
Just be sure you give someone a heads up so that they can practice their archery enough to actually set you on fire
It’s okay, the band has “Entry Of The Gladiators” prepared in case this part of the send-off is missed.
Scoripon in Cyberpunk 2077 had a very similar idea.
Prop me up beside the jukebox.
church organ donation.
I’m an organ donor, but I suspect my organs won’t be worth much by the time I’m done with them.
Cremate me and grind my ashes into small particles.
Then take those ashes and mix them into dark spices like pepper as a filler. Sell it to the general population.
I will be vored. I will be inside you. I will become part of you. You cannot stop this.
There are easier ways to get laid man
I’m not into this as a sexual thing. I will ascend and take control as my body becomes part of your chemical processes. I will become a part of you. mwahahhahah!
Donate my body to science if possible, failing that, dispose of me in the most environmentally friendly way possible.
Once I am dead I have no care for my body, maximize the use of it or minimize the impact of it.
Forgot about the donation angle! I’m signed up for organ donation, need to get that more clear in my will, but whole-body donation would be great.
Worst case, med students can have a go, see how bones heal, stuff like that.
There’s still some active tar pits. I’m surprised nobody is intentionally trying to become a fossil. It would be cool to do some weird shit to mess with the aliens who find your fossil in 10,000 years or so.
Resurrected or uploaded.
If it is possible for the mind to survive the death of the body, I also think uploading would be fine. It’s a risk to be sure, but not having a body would actually address a lot of my current disappointments.
If resurrection is possible, I’d like to think the death could be prevented. But, I’ll take it if uploading is not available and death of the body is still inevitable.
Makes me wonder what the experience would be like for the mind being uploaded. Do you feel like you have a body? Can you change what that body is? And before you do anything fun with that new hot body, you should know that anywhere you can go is still in a simulation, so you can be tracked and observed at all times.
Speaking of that, can you adapt to the concept of “being somewhere” becoming meaningless?
I think you can have a POV without having a body, and you can “be somewhere” based on your POV rather than your body.
But, I also think that probably not the only reasonable guess at what the uploaded experience is like.
If I had my way about it, I’d have a tree planted over me, but I don’t expect to know the difference, so I don’t really think about it much.
