If I can have anything, I want to explode into a bunch of butterflies.
If only real options are available, I am hoping composting is legal by then. Just be turned back into dirt and plants.

No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

My wish has also been to become a tree actually.
Its not legal where i live but i prefer if my body was buried as is without coffin in a forest so flora and fungi can feast on my nutrients.
The matter that makes up my cells has been going through the cycle of life for god knows how long. All I know is I’ll be pissed if that cycle is cut off to isolate that matter in a metal box in the ground.
Very honestly, since I was a child I wanted to be burned to a point where the flesh is gone but the bones are still intact and have the bones buried.
I think it is even possible to do that in Austria but I live in Germany and obviously no one is going to spend time, money, and energy on these shenanigans once I am dead. But if I could selfishly wish for a way, this would be it. There are reasons for why I don't want to be buried and why I don't want to be cremated and this would feel... The rightest.
Green burial. No preservatives, no permanent structures, just natural decay and completing the circle of life. Don't pickle me for a funeral just get me in the ground asap.
Ideally there would be no body to bury. Think about it, can you think of a boring way to die where your body is never found?
Of course i'm making sure my death will be adventurous by staying at my computer and never going outside. Totally won't die of a heart attack like a loser.
Harvest for transplant whatever organs I haven't managed to destroy and then put my ass in one of these. And if I am lucky enough to still have any money at all by then, please bury it in the Pacific Northwest.

Forgotten
Take what someone else can use (not sell), chuck the rest in a hole in the ground in the middle of the woods.
Stuffed and mounted in a ferocious pose. Hide me in the closet of someone you don't like.
I've always thought sky burials are pretty cool, but as a person living in North America who has no plans to move to Tibet or take up Buddhism, that's completely impractical. Next best thing might be for my to be placed on a body farm.
I said body farm, my wife was too creeped out by that. So then it was "donated to science" but then those nasty body brokers get your parts and sell them wherever so now it's natural burial.
In Colorado one can be buried on private property not designated as a graveyard so if whatever county I end up in is cool with it, just plant me in the back yard.
I don't care it's not my body anymore. The people left behind can decide.
Cremate, then spill the rest into an ocean. A few years later my star dust is consumed by other life forms around the world.
For the people after me it’s one big effort and then never again.
donate me to an artsy goth who really wants to make a goblet out of bones for social media clout for all I care. Let a reclusive cannibal coven get a few pieces. Liquefy the rest and chuck it out a window. I'm dead, what do I care?
The average human skull has a volume of about twice the average bottle of wine. Thanks to your sacrifice, some artsy goth is getting wasted.
I’d like to be put into a meat grinder and fed to a critically endangered species so the earth has an opportunity to say fuck you to humans
That's just a burial with extra steps
I wonder if I could be made into quality boots and other clothes.
I'd like my mind to be uploaded into an AI heaven or whatever similar thing.
Give me the oven.
I'd be OK if they dismantled my body for parts but it's kind of unlikely that they'll find something usable. The rest is a big whatever - burn it, bury it, pet cemetery, I'm OK with it. As long as the body doesn't leave my city.
Is vampirism or zombification an option?
pack my ashes into a cannonball and shot me over Lake Michigan
Just throw me in the trash
