I mean.. yiu can sometimes potentiallydonate some of your skin, in tthe organ donation sense of donation, to be used for treating burn victims and that sort fo injury,

. and yiu could imagine some pharmaceutical Corp may want to buy some too.

and,some. things in reulation to planning ahead,, directives, wills and such death related documents (I guess this one may also then be relevant to /u/LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world ) : https://www.orderofthegooddeath.com/resources/end-of-life-planning

I don't know about that one, bit I know of a somewhat similar option. Yiu can. in so. e states, havarranhe to Hove your body wrapped in a... fabric shroud, amd laid into a .. vat filled with organic material, usually woodchils and the like(wood hips are sometimes consodered a waste or a garbage product) , then after after a few weeks you ahve compost or soil basically, that can be used for land conseravtion ect.

I might add, to yiur point, that representatives of the Catholic church have repeatedly opposed this posted etah option from becoming avakabke, on the ground that get this they considerit to be undignified', (granted, they're just about the only ones who take thatbosition, one they know moanybof the detail and context, but it's a substantial and influential organisation), and then random passerby who doesn't know anything other about the process than a sensational news headline on might well condiser it undignified too, in the moment anyway.

And of course, you could consider it to be as if you had arranged for your foture corpse to be turned into literal dirt, dirt, and then what could be more gloriously u dignified than that.

... more on that subject at: https://www.orderofthegooddeath.com/resources/green-death-technology/#natural-organic-reduction and at www.recompose.life (I shiuld warn, neigher of these resources make the process sound or look larocularky undignified, but then these things are a matter of perspective after all, in some ways)

in general, agreed on the point about coffins, and using land just for butial into perpetuity is not a great tradition.

If and where it's just about the use of a box, and/or about the using of land space solely for burial, then one other option they can adress bith of these is 'green conservation butkal'.

The land is used for nature and ecosystem restoration and conservation at the same time, and there is no box/coffin required at all. They can also sometimes be less expensive than conventional burial (with the box and the embalming and so on) or even conventional cremation. Some more about the subject at:

https://www.orderofthegooddeath.com/resources/green-burial/

you know, I was thinkingaabout purpose made carborad caskets, and they do exit, but reusing a fridge box seems like an even more fun idea if thats something that appeal to loving peron planning thir future funeral a More eco friendly, and more evonomical as yiu metión. 📦

also a shout out to the idea of shorids, in that cade case a clean old beafheet of the right size and material, will probanly work just as well as any shroud, for a burial. (For some some burial grounds, no box needed, just a shroud is perfectly fine. basically a fabric sheet wrapping. low cost it potentially free)

cardboard caskets definately do exist, I've seen them mentioned by morticians, and advertised, and they don't neccecarily look or work badly. then there are woven willow basket type caskets.

And then, this one is perhaps most similar to you the option you cite as a preference, there's the classic shroud. basically some plain woven fabric that the bidy is wrapped in. the lightest, lest resource intensive, and likely lest expensive body covering for a funeral, that i can think of. shrouds seem popular in green and natural butials, as well as a number of religious burials, and they have a history of sucessfully us that goes back some way it seems.

It's not neccecarily quite the same as used carpet, but you could probably arrange for a plain second hand sheet, or an old curtain perhaps, for your funeral if you wanted. Just make sure its biodegradable and large enough to cover a body, and you should be good (actually if you can find old carpet that meets those conditions, they might just accept that too, probably wnat to check with the burial grind staff ahead of time though).

In quite a similar spirit, perhaps, anyway. Then, with a coevring picked out, you'll probably wnat a local green or natural burial ground, as the likeliest place for a burial place that's up for that style of burial and coffin alternative.

Arranging to having yiur future postmortem body used to fertilise plants, is a really cool option, in my opinion. A green/natural/eco funeral is one way to, basically, do that, and it's pretty widely avalable too, in most places.

And cardboard coffins work, and tend to be accepted by mat green burial sites. Woven willow coffins, untreated wood coffins, as well as just classic biodegradable shrouds, are several other options that used for this. On that subject,Hheres some resources that might be helpful with planning for a green burial, ahead of time (and ensuring that thise wishes are carried out later) , for those that this appeals to and that haven't allready: https://www.orderofthegooddeath.com/resources/green-burial/ (the order also has information on n. o. r/terramation/composting, and on aquamatuon/water-cremation options, both of wchich are compatible with the 'become plant ferileser if yiu wnat to' idea) and https://www.greenburialcouncil.org/interactive-maps.html

And to mention green burials in another jurisdiction, , http://www.naturaldeath.org.uk/index.php?page=find-a-natural-burial-site

Hopefully some of that may be helpful, or intresting. tdl

tdlr:arranging for a simple post death thing for yourself, and becoming fertiliser for there's, is cool, and generally very doable too.

on the left, looks perhpas like a spacesuit helmet 👩‍🚀🌌

theres a short film I'm thinking of now...space suit...

🌸🌺💐 🐘

... Nice, also somewhat looks like a... 🌸🌺🌸mastodon.

edit:oh, this was 3 monthaago. stil cool though.

heres some points I found from a quick searcb: (specifically note point 3,... and... in another sense point 7):

"... 1. Drink more water to reduce bloating

Bloating can cause discomfort and make menstrual cramps worse. While it may sound counterintuitive, drinking water can reduce bloating during your period and alleviate some of the pain it causes. Also, drinking hot water can increase blood flow throughout your body and relax your muscles. This can lessen cramps caused by uterine contractions.

2. Enjoy herbal teas to relieve inflammation and muscle spasms

Certain types of herbal tea have anti-inflammatory properties and antispasmodic compounds that can reduce the muscle spasms in the uterus that cause cramping. Drinking chamomile, fennel or ginger tea is an easy, natural way to relieve menstrual cramps. Plus, these herbal teas can have other benefits, like stress relief and helping with insomnia.

3. Eat anti-inflammatory foods to relax menstrual cramps

Some foods can offer natural relief for cramps, and they taste great. Anti-inflammatory foods can help promote blood flow and relax your uterus. Try eating berries, tomatoes, pineapples and spices like turmeric, ginger or garlic. Leafy green vegetables, almonds,... can also help reduce inflammation.

4. Skip the treats to avoid extra bloating

While a brownie or french fries might sound delicious, foods high in sugar, trans fat and salt can cause bloating and inflammation, which makes muscle pain and cramps worse. Grab a banana or another piece of fruit to fight sugar cravings, or go for unsalted nuts if you want something more savory.

...

6. Try dietary supplements to help with menstrual symptoms

Vitamin D can help your body absorb calcium and reduce inflammation. Other supplements, including omega-3, vitamin E and magnesium, can help reduce inflammation and might even make your periods less painful. For best results, take supplements every day, not just during your period. Also, because some supplements interact with medications, be sure to ask your doctor before taking anything new.

7. Apply heat to calm cramping

A little heat can help your muscles relax, improve blood flow and relieve tension. Try sitting with a heating pad, taking a hot shower or relaxing in a hot bath.

8. Exercise for muscle relaxation and endorphins

If you’re in pain, exercise might be the last thing on your mind. But even gentle exercise releases endorphins that make you feel happy, reduce pain and relax your muscles. Fifteen minutes of yoga, light stretching or walking might be all you need to feel the physical and mental benefits of exercise. And if exercise is already a part of your routine, did you know that tracking your period can help you improve athletic performance? 9. Reduce stress to improve mental and physical period symptoms

Stress may make cramps worse. Use stress relief techniques like meditation, deep breathing, yoga or your own favorite way to relieve stress. If you’re not sure how to relieve stress, try guided imagery. Simply close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine a calm, safe place that’s significant to you. Stay focused on this space for at least a few minutes while you take slow, deep breaths... "

some places have some level of test, or anyways interview or vetting, before becoming a childcare worker, or befire adoption. that could be seen as somethkng similar to described.

of course,multiple jurisdictions also make even accessing contraception, far more difficut that it should be, with all sorts of tests ands barriers in the way. I guess that's the opposite of, in one sense, of whats proposed perhaps.

...

And, yeah, don't do eugenics, . do, however, make contraception and scientificallya accurate sex ed, freely and widely avalable.
