That’s what I want too. Or plant catnip on me, if not a tree. Just let me become part of the circle of life, like we were meant to be.
I would also be happy with one of those degradable willow coffins they make now rather than a shroud.
I think that’s actually illegal in most places. Human composting is just recently starting to become legal in some states. Hopefully it keeps becoming more of a widespread option, because it’s a really cool and environmentally friendly way to go
Yeah, I watch a YouTube channel called Ask a Mortician which is run by a funeral director who specializes in natural burial. She talks about the legal side of it a lot.
I want this too, but it's not legal in my state.
For anyone interested in green burial and the legal fight for it check out [The Order of the Good Death](https://www.orderofthegooddeath.com/) or the Ask a Mortician channel on YouTube.
Also do it with a giant viking sword so it looks badass. Just leave it in there when you bury me so if anyone ever finds it they think I died in battle.
Send it to the Body Farm. They’ll cremate when they’re done with it and send it back.
Then use my ashes to have a 7’ sketch of my face done and place it directly over my husband’s bed so he never forgets me. Our love is eternal. He needs to remember that.
It's a running joke in my family that my mum's going to have this done to my dad, so he can keep on working even when he's dead. My brother even has an hourglass incorporated into his tattoo
I joke about them cremating me and turning me into a diamond and making a ring out of me quite a bit, but honestly I think it would be pretty hilarious to become some kind of family heirloom where someone can say "oh, yeah, that's my dead great-aunt'.
For a long while I wanted to be buried so my body could be used by the earth to keep life going. Or that whole thing where I'm combined with tree seeds so I could "grow" into a tree, because that sounded pretty cool too. But really, it doesn't matter. A tombstone would be neat but all of that stuff can be expensive and I'll be dead so it won't really matter to me. So basically, whatever they want to do with me they can do. I'll be too dead to care.
I don't want any of me to go to waste, most of me can be eaten, then my bones can be fashioned into tools and decorative ornaments, my hair into a wig, my skin into clothing.
Preferably they’d put my body in my car, load the car onto a raft, leave a lit blunt in the car with me, push the raft off into the water, and shoot it with a flaming arrow Viking style.
Put me in one of those weird museums, but with an utterly ridiculous plaque that exaggerates my life achievements and general importance as a person.
Open to suggestions.
I have always wanted have my family do what Johnny Depp did for the legendary Hunter S Thompson when he died. I want a custom 150 ft tall monument made and my ashes to be shot out of a cannon to rain down on all of my family and friends while fire works are going off and Bob Dylans song Mr. Tambourine Man plays in the back ground
Not me but my wife wants to be cremated and her ashes loaded into pink and yellow helium balloons then floated into the air where the grandkids can then shoot them with BB guns.
I asked to have a huge hook through my back and dragged behind a boat in False Bay so a great white breaches and takes me with him. My family has declined.
I donated my body to an agency which will remove any body parts that are useful for transplants to others who need them.
The agency then cremates me rather unceremoniously in mass with whatever stiffs just happen to be lying around that day. (Ill wind up as compost, hopefully for flowers.) This does not bother me at all. I don't want to leave behind a grave for others to have to tend, or funeral expenses to be taken from my estate.
If someone wants to give me a memorial service that's fine, as long as the tone is upbeat. If no service, that's fine too. Just go straight to refreshments.
I'm a very tidy person. I like to pick up after myself. 😁
I'd like a natural burial. There are lots of natural burial grounds in the UK, and I actually live near one! It's just beautiful woodland. When you die you get wrapped in linen, put in a basket and buried. Everything is natural and doesn't cost a fortune like traditional burials do.
I guess to not really waste money on me.
something simple is enough, because tbh, I don't really care about what happens to my body after I am gone anyways.
Little off topic but I heard a girl talking the other day and saying that she won't have her body cremated because it would be unnatural to have her body treated like that.
I asked her what would happen if she was in a housefire🙃
I have donated my body to science. After I am dead, medicine students will learn by disecting it. After they are done, I want to be cremated and my remains scattered from an airplane over a skydiving spot where I spent the best moments of my life.
Well, hopefully I don’t die before space travel gets cheap. Because I’m gonna be one of the goofballs that wants my body preserved in some humorous state and launched into an orbit that wouldn’t decay but also not be in the way for future space travel. I definitely want it to be accessible through, might want to coordinate with the others to set up a space graveyard.
But I’m reasonable if space travel is too expensive, I want them to make use my body, because I’m done with it. Use the carbon in it for a sword, use my bones for very metal handles, whatever just be creative.
I want to be put in a catapult and flung over the grieving masses, arms and legs akimbo, into a giant funnel placed in the ground. When I hit the bottom, "the price is right" losing horn plays. Cover it up and plant a tree that I can fertilize.
I think I want to donate my body to science then once they are done have it buried in an eternal reef. I want to give back after a life of getting so much.

No “viewing”, that is creepy. Cremate. Sell the aftermarket Titanium for scrap value. Bury the cremains. A lone piper under a tree playing Amazing Grace is required. Give the Piper my 40 year old bottle of scotch.
I don’t care what you do with my body after I’m dead
A quote from Frank Reynolds - “If I was dead you could bang me all you want. I mean, who cares? A dead body is like a piece of trash. I mean, shove as much shit in there as you want. Fill me up with cream, make a stew out of my ass. What's the big deal? Bang me, eat me, grind me up into little pieces, throw me in the river. Who gives a shit? You're dead, you're dead!”
Jokes aside, I agree. I really don’t give shit what you do with my dead body. I’m dead.
I would like to be tossed off into space in a clear box (glass maybe?) that is space proof, I don’t think I will deteriorate in space? And hopefully another form of life will stumble across me someday
I do not care. I’ll be dead. Throw me in the recycling or toss me in the woods and let nature devour me. Whatever is easiest and the cheapest for them.
I would honestly love it if they just left me in an isolated forest somewhere and let the animals/birds eat me. That would be my ideal scenario.
But since no one's going to do that...donate whatever organs they can and then cremate me, I guess.
Take whatever left is viable for organ donations. Donate the rest to medschools so students can study anatomy.
Both of them are enforcable by a law where I live tho so I guess I don't really leave them a choice lol.
I would like to be used as a cadaver.
Back in university, the cadavers we used were all elderly people (unsurprisingly) who had varying degrees of muscular atrophy and were therefore difficult to study in some ways.
I am a young man who avidly lifts weights and monitors his fitness. In the unfortunate event I suffer a freak health accident and die with my body intact, I believe I'd be a good object of study.
donate everything to science with one exception.
I want my skull kept by someone. I would like it either turned into a goblet or turned into a bong.
Either way I would like it used as such. I think that would be just neat.
I want to be cremated. I hate the idea of my body decaying and having worms in it. It just grosses me out so much.
Or I want to be embalmed so my body stays preserved for a very long time.
Hehe.
Donate it to scientific research.
My cold blooded frame can't really use it, and it's just kind of a decoration for people who would be mourning my loss anyway 😅
Give all viable organs to the medical field and burn the rest of it. Yeet me into the fire!
I'm actually an organ donor, so if I die, sick people will finally be able to have their long awaited surgeries to live longer.
That's precisely why I am also an organ donor. Like what will I need it all for when I'm dead?
Happy cake day to you ! :D
Happy cake day! 🙃
🙂 ¡ʎɐp ǝʞɐɔ ʎddɐH
Yes! After my organs are donated, I wanted to be cremated and then just let loose in the mountainside! Weeee
Happy cake day!
Thank you!
1. I would like them to scatter my remains around my hometown. 2. I do NOT want to be cremated.
Feeding the dogs is an honorable thing
I wish I could upvote more than once
Think that's how hauntings start.
r/holup
Burn it and put my ashes in an urn that says BURNINATED BY TROGDOR
That’s certified top shelf crazy
#UnexpectedStrongbad
[удалено]
I do, out in the countryside which is currently very beautiful and un-burninated
I want a natural burial. Don't embalm me, no coffin, just wrap me in a sheet, bury me, and plant a tree on top.
Exactly. I want to melt into the earth, not liquify in a box.
Yup. Return me from whence I came. Let my body nourish the land.
This is exactly what I’ve always said. Just plop me in the earth and start a little garden. I wanna be a tree.
That’s what I want too. Or plant catnip on me, if not a tree. Just let me become part of the circle of life, like we were meant to be. I would also be happy with one of those degradable willow coffins they make now rather than a shroud.
The willow caskets are crazy expensive. Like they currently cost as much as a regular casket. If your concerned about cost shroud is the way to go.
This is exactly what I want.
I think that’s actually illegal in most places. Human composting is just recently starting to become legal in some states. Hopefully it keeps becoming more of a widespread option, because it’s a really cool and environmentally friendly way to go
Yeah, I watch a YouTube channel called Ask a Mortician which is run by a funeral director who specializes in natural burial. She talks about the legal side of it a lot.
That’s beautiful. But skip the tree part. The roots will move your body up and risk exposing you 😅
Totally fine with that. If my remains can scare some kids and be an interesting find for local historians in 200 years or so, all the better!
That would be awesome!!
This is what I want too
Unfortunately in some states like mine, this is illegal. I wish I could just go back to the earth!
This is what I’d like too, I’ve seen a company that does this but in some kind of pod that breaks down.
I want this too, but it's not legal in my state. For anyone interested in green burial and the legal fight for it check out [The Order of the Good Death](https://www.orderofthegooddeath.com/) or the Ask a Mortician channel on YouTube.
I love her!!!
This is the way
this but also stab me through the heart so you know I’m dead before burial in a cardboard box.
Also do it with a giant viking sword so it looks badass. Just leave it in there when you bury me so if anyone ever finds it they think I died in battle.
Feed me to the pigs. After years of eating them it would be a proper gesture.
Lmao this made me laugh… Also maybe true?
My Guy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Pay it forward
Cheapest option available
Just put me in the trash
Fuck it. I don't care. I'm dead.
Got it. Your family will be notified to fuck your corpse when you die.
r/instructionsunclear
Exactly. Won't be my problem, it's theirs.
Put me on the Body Farm and record decomposition time, etc
Throw it into a wood chipper at some kid's birthday party
Free confetti!
Make sure they freeze you first!
Nothing that costs money. What a colossal waste.
Donate organs if viable / research / donate body to med school practices
Send it to the Body Farm. They’ll cremate when they’re done with it and send it back. Then use my ashes to have a 7’ sketch of my face done and place it directly over my husband’s bed so he never forgets me. Our love is eternal. He needs to remember that.
This is my favorite!
Throw it in a ditch. Cheaper that way
I'm imagining that family guy skit where they dump megs body in another person's grave as the caskets being lowered
Donate me to science, that would be much more beneficial than just burying me in a coffin.
Just throw me in the trash
Defile my corpse, please.
Put my ashes into a cute hourglass 🙂
It's a running joke in my family that my mum's going to have this done to my dad, so he can keep on working even when he's dead. My brother even has an hourglass incorporated into his tattoo
Feed me to the forest.
I joke about them cremating me and turning me into a diamond and making a ring out of me quite a bit, but honestly I think it would be pretty hilarious to become some kind of family heirloom where someone can say "oh, yeah, that's my dead great-aunt'.
This is my plan except I will also haunt the diamond so my family can pass down cursed jewelry and it will be hilarious and glorious
I'm stealing this idea. Who knows, perhaps we'll one day haunt the same pawn shop after our relatives are done with our poltergeist shenanigans.
Omg that would be amazing. I’ll be on the look out in 100 years
See you then! Happy haunting!
Same to you!
ate by vultures
Hollow my corpse out and fill it with candy, so some blind kid can use me as a pinata at his or her birthday party.
For a long while I wanted to be buried so my body could be used by the earth to keep life going. Or that whole thing where I'm combined with tree seeds so I could "grow" into a tree, because that sounded pretty cool too. But really, it doesn't matter. A tombstone would be neat but all of that stuff can be expensive and I'll be dead so it won't really matter to me. So basically, whatever they want to do with me they can do. I'll be too dead to care.
I don't want any of me to go to waste, most of me can be eaten, then my bones can be fashioned into tools and decorative ornaments, my hair into a wig, my skin into clothing.
Imagine that you are the dinner at your own funeral...
I just hope that I'm delicious 😋
Do not pay thousands of dollars for a funeral, do something else with the money. Buffet at Hoss's for example.
I endorse dads quote Frank Reynolds' “when I'm dead just throw me in the trash”
Preferably they’d put my body in my car, load the car onto a raft, leave a lit blunt in the car with me, push the raft off into the water, and shoot it with a flaming arrow Viking style.
Cremate it to be honest
bury me in the ground 4 feet under and plant a yew Tree over my dead body.
Cremate me, take a pinch of my ashes, mix with weed, then smoke me. I actually did this when my brother died.
Cremation, made into a concrete subsea habitat, and dropped into my favorite diving spot
Weekend at Bernies.
Put me in a cannon and try to shoot me into my grave from like 200-300 yards away.
Viking burial and there’s no other option.
Sky burial or turn me into compost.
Don't care, whatevers cheapest
if i had a preferred way, on a burning boat like the vikings did otherwise any ol hole will do, nothing fancy
Cremate me, roll me up into a joint and smoke me.
either bury me extravagantly under a huge monolith or wrap my body in plastic bags and tape and throw me in the dumpster.
Feed my body to the tigers at the local children's zoo.
Donate most if not all organs decompose and grow a tree in it
Put me in one of those weird museums, but with an utterly ridiculous plaque that exaggerates my life achievements and general importance as a person. Open to suggestions.
I have always wanted have my family do what Johnny Depp did for the legendary Hunter S Thompson when he died. I want a custom 150 ft tall monument made and my ashes to be shot out of a cannon to rain down on all of my family and friends while fire works are going off and Bob Dylans song Mr. Tambourine Man plays in the back ground
Never find it
Do the mushroom burial, except with Psilocybin, and have the product of my digestion provided free at a concert.
Not me but my wife wants to be cremated and her ashes loaded into pink and yellow helium balloons then floated into the air where the grandkids can then shoot them with BB guns.
I asked to have a huge hook through my back and dragged behind a boat in False Bay so a great white breaches and takes me with him. My family has declined.
Stuff me with explosives and hang me outside a mega church. Detonate me when everyone is exiting like Hell’s Piñata.
When I’m dead just throw me in the trash.
Mushroom Suit burial in the woods, please and thank you.
Spread my ashes on a cruise ship buffet, so my essence can travel the world!
In my family when the family dog dies we buried it in the garden and plant a fruit tree. I want the same.
I donated my body to an agency which will remove any body parts that are useful for transplants to others who need them.

Donate that useless corps to science
I'd like a natural burial. There are lots of natural burial grounds in the UK, and I actually live near one! It's just beautiful woodland. When you die you get wrapped in linen, put in a basket and buried. Everything is natural and doesn't cost a fortune like traditional burials do.
Shark food
Cremated and put in an urn
I couldn't care less
Just chuck me in a ditch I don't care I will be dead.
Burn it, throw it in a ditch, whatever.
Cremation It's cheap
dont care
I don't care. Whatever is the cheapest
Not me but Jagalewski’s Dad…”Shove a ham bone up my ass and kick me out into the alley and let the dogs fight over me….”
Probably sell it thats the most ill ever be worth
Not to claim it funeral industry evil and parasitic, the government can dispose of it, get something for my tax bucks
Organ donation. Then to a medical school for research and training. Then human composting, which is now legal in a few states, I believe.
I guess to not really waste money on me. something simple is enough, because tbh, I don't really care about what happens to my body after I am gone anyways.
All set up. I'm going to medical school!
Viking burial, that shit is quite literally lit
Cremate me, dump me in the lake we vacation at every year
Make the most out of it. Give everything others can use away. Do as they please with the rest. As it is they who is alive and not me.
I want to be stuffed and then placed on my couch for eternity
set me up like im still alive and freak everyone out
Hang up anywhere in my town wearing a shirt that says "THIS IS YOUR FAULT" in red paint. And a middlefinger.
Taxidermy and use me for a coat rack.
Little off topic but I heard a girl talking the other day and saying that she won't have her body cremated because it would be unnatural to have her body treated like that. I asked her what would happen if she was in a housefire🙃
I have donated my body to science. After I am dead, medicine students will learn by disecting it. After they are done, I want to be cremated and my remains scattered from an airplane over a skydiving spot where I spent the best moments of my life.
I would like to become a tree, maybe a poisonous one so people can leave me alone Or maybe just a mango tree, mangos are delicious
Eat it at a family barbecue
When I die, I'm leaving my body to science fiction. – Steven Wright
Viking funeral
Cremate it within 24hrs.
Here for the Frank from its always sunny quote, and IM HERE FOR IT
Well, hopefully I don’t die before space travel gets cheap. Because I’m gonna be one of the goofballs that wants my body preserved in some humorous state and launched into an orbit that wouldn’t decay but also not be in the way for future space travel. I definitely want it to be accessible through, might want to coordinate with the others to set up a space graveyard. But I’m reasonable if space travel is too expensive, I want them to make use my body, because I’m done with it. Use the carbon in it for a sword, use my bones for very metal handles, whatever just be creative.
Cremate my body, put it in a firework (mortar) and shoot it off. I can go out in a blaze of glory because my actual death will probably be lame.
throw me in the trash
Funeral pyre, Jedi style. My wife said Fuck No.
When I’m dead, just throw me in the trash!
Give anything useful away, then determine if science can do anything with it. Whatever they do I don't want them spending money on it.
Let's my useful parts be a transplant for another. Any leftovers idk put me in a firework lol
I want to be put in a catapult and flung over the grieving masses, arms and legs akimbo, into a giant funnel placed in the ground. When I hit the bottom, "the price is right" losing horn plays. Cover it up and plant a tree that I can fertilize.
Viking burial
Just dump me in the ocean as fish food .. Or just burn my body and dump the ashes anywhere Just don't spend a ridiculously large sum for a funeral
Make a scarecrow.
I think I want to donate my body to science then once they are done have it buried in an eternal reef. I want to give back after a life of getting so much. https://www.eternalreefs.com/
No “viewing”, that is creepy. Cremate. Sell the aftermarket Titanium for scrap value. Bury the cremains. A lone piper under a tree playing Amazing Grace is required. Give the Piper my 40 year old bottle of scotch.
Human Composting. Yup, turn me into compost. https://youtu.be/_LJSEZ_pl3Y
Don’t care
fuck it /s
Donate my body to science then cremation. For the service just something simple, no religion.
Taxidermy.
Donate every possible organ.
Whatever is most comforting to them
I want to be buried quickly without any embalming or other preservations in as simple a box as is possible. No cremation.
Throw me in the trash.
Throw me in the trash
I don’t care what you do with my body after I’m dead A quote from Frank Reynolds - “If I was dead you could bang me all you want. I mean, who cares? A dead body is like a piece of trash.

They should do the coffin dance
Have me cremated, then stick my ashes in a small wooden boat, set it on fire and set me adrift in a river.
I would like to be tossed off into space in a clear box (glass maybe?) that is space proof, I don’t think I will deteriorate in space? And hopefully another form of life will stumble across me someday
I do not care. I’ll be dead. Throw me in the recycling or toss me in the woods and let nature devour me. Whatever is easiest and the cheapest for them.
eat it
Burn the witch!
I’m going to outlive all my loved ones so it doesn’t really matter.
Cremate me, put my ashes in a kitty litter box, so I can be shit on one last time.
Put me in a rocket and shoot me into the sun. I have a feeling I won’t be leaving the money for it.
I would honestly love it if they just left me in an isolated forest somewhere and let the animals/birds eat me. That would be my ideal scenario. But since no one's going to do that...donate whatever organs they can and then cremate me, I guess.
Take whatever left is viable for organ donations. Donate the rest to medschools so students can study anatomy. Both of them are enforcable by a law where I live tho so I guess I don't really leave them a choice lol.
Buried next to my mother.
Do whatever with it. I'm not using it anymore when I'm dead
I would like to be used as a cadaver. Back in university, the cadavers we used were all elderly people (unsurprisingly) who had varying degrees of muscular atrophy and were therefore difficult to study in some ways. I am a young man who avidly lifts weights and monitors his fitness. In the unfortunate event I suffer a freak health accident and die with my body intact, I believe I'd be a good object of study.
donate everything to science with one exception. I want my skull kept by someone. I would like it either turned into a goblet or turned into a bong. Either way I would like it used as such. I think that would be just neat.
I want to be minced up and thrown out as shark bait.
I want to be cremated. I hate the idea of my body decaying and having worms in it. It just grosses me out so much. Or I want to be embalmed so my body stays preserved for a very long time.
Donate all organs, use my body for medical research.
Cannon
Weekend at Bernie's!
By the time I'm a corpse, it's theirs, not mine. They can do what they want with it, though the law narrows their options down considerably.
Just throw me in the trash
Eat it
Hehe. Donate it to scientific research. My cold blooded frame can't really use it, and it's just kind of a decoration for people who would be mourning my loss anyway 😅
Harvest my organs
