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.
Donate your used meat parts to your local medical school. It's fun, educational, and a great way to stay in shape!
Shapes...once they get to you.
I loved it when I dismembered a human /s
It was really educational when I got to do it. Studying Netter's and Gray's (or in my case Finn Boysen Møller) can only get you so far. If you want to really understand anatomy, and the insane amount of variation that occurs, then dissection is a pretty good way forward.
You joke, but it really is an incredibly cool experience. I am not a doctor, but I was privileged to have a hands on anatomy class in school where we had human cadavers. Things are so different in person than they are in textbooks. And getting to actual see, touch, and feel how the human body works and how it goes wrong is just amazing. I was so wowed by it that it's what led me to my career today (working in a hospital lab with human organs).
I would honestly like to get to do that at least once
In school?
That works for me
Would you prefer it somewhere else?
Wherever I can works
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?
i want the penis!
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.
It seemed apparent, to me at least, that the person you replied to had the intention of telling their loved ones not to spend on OP's account. Not that they're forbidding the family from any course of action.
I guess if you take it super literally, okay, whatever. But the smallest amount of thought seems to make this obvious.
^- 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.
Hell I told mine to hit up those shady companies on This Week Tonight. You can get rid of my body and get a few hundred dollars? Win win I don't care.
I too would like to be a skeleton doing a backflip in a museum
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.
Ziplock bag and a catapult.
'Goes to rent catapult'
Fuuuuuuuuuuuu
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.
