After death

So I am led to believe that when you die you either have to be embalmed or cremated before burial in this country. Except on indian reservations.

I don't know that to be fact it's what i've been told.


I mean firstly I don't want to be shot full of all that nasty stuff....and I certainly don't want to burn.

I think it's bullshit. When I die I don't want to be either. I'd rather do like the indians did and plant an oak on my rotting carcass and call it a day. Hell maybe a pine box but that'd be about it.

This entire thing about paying 9k for a coffin or something is absurd too. I'd rather you take that 9k and buy a bunch of weed, patron, and cocaine and have a great time.


anyway....thoughts?

Firstly they will only formaldehyde you if you are going to the Chapel of Rest for visitors. Just tell them beforehand that everone saw enough of you anyway! Lol! Secondly, don't most countries tax you on dying ? Becoming a missing person is definitely the cheapest option.

Ps Hindu is usually open coffin at home (?) and then the body is submitted to the river.

Become a Parsi. Your corpse will be lovingly cleaned and clothed and then left on a "tower of death" whence you will be eaten by vultures. Oh, please don't use any antibiotics for a month prior to dying. It hurts the vultures.

I just want to be buried whole with an oak seedling planted on me. Figure that tree will be there for several hundred years possibly. That's a long enough effect on this earth for me :)

You wouldn't wanna be put on permanent display? Preferably in the Foyer in the family mansion in the Hamptons...Assuming we had one...

In reality..What's the cheapest? We be poor folk...

In my city I can't bury small pets on my property anymore.

With all the laws in the world, your body has been determined to be toxic to the ground and ground waters.

Burial at sea I think is the only other legal way to be planted.

(I like the oak tree idea myself)

That reminded me of the old show Northern Exposure where Chris has to bury his friend Tooley.
He dug a grave and laid in it and didnt like the idea.

He ends up using 'the fling' to send Tooley into the river.

I can't find the video anywhere, cept this one in Spanish.

Just skip ahead to the 2:15 mark.
You'll get the idea.

Who cares what happens to your body, you will be dead. Chop me and feed me to the wolves, or mount me on a spike I dont care, I wont be around to complain

I would like my body to be used to grow weed. However it's broken down doesn't really matter and if people want to do something else I really can't stop them :)
Many religions require the body not be fucked with after death. Worst case claim to be one of them.

This is what I'm planning, except they won't have to wrestle my boots off me. I'll already be in them LOL (ashes tucked in). I'm good with anywhere and I don't care. I'll have moved on.

If this doesn't happen I don't mind what they do, potter's field or a medical school to scare the up and coming kidlets. It's all good :)

Embalming is a service I'd like. That's how they guarantee you are dead before burial. No more waking up by accident 6 feet under and clawing the tuck n' roll off your coffin lid or waking just as you hear the retort firing.

What's worse with pigs is they don't even seem to have a bad attitude about it all. It's just food to them, nuttin' personal.
