Ask Lemmy

I don't think I have any specific wishes. My family can do whatever will make them at peace.

Cremation, then throw my ashes in the faces of people on a list that will be provided.

Not so much what I want done with my corpse but what I'd like to do with my life; die on Mars.* Even if it means lithobraking into Olympus Mons due to a miscommunication about imperial and metric units.

However, I have a few other ideas as well.

Most epic; funeral pyre boat.

Most metal; feed my corpse into a woodchipper and use the viscera for fertilizer.

Most likely; buried a bit shallow under a young sapling.

*: Excellent album by the Callous Daoboys

Cremation. Simple urn. Spread my ashes in the mountains.

Preserve me until we figure out how to put consciousness into a robot body and then make me look like the Major from GITS.

Or fire my preseved body into the depths of space so another intelligence can work on it.

Put me in a haunted house. Use my skeleton to scare people or in movies or whatever.

Hang my bones up in one of those ossuary chapels.

Don't care, I'll be dead anyway. Do whatever.

I want to be cremated, I don't care what happens after that. I tell my wife to just put me in the bin.

In the wise words of Frank Reynolds

I want to be scattered at Disneyland (note: I do not wish to be cremated).

My dead naked body should be catapulted at Mar-a-Lago.

Getting tossed in a hole with a tree planted on top so it can consume my remains.

Don't have to even be dead, I just want to be launched into the sun because that would be pretty rad.

Donate the useful bits to others, use me for science, then turn me into compost.

Launch my corpse at a dead planet with water or ice, see if my bacterial colonies eventually seed new life.

About 1/3 will be combined with my wife and her dog who have already passed. Another 1/3 will be combined with my fiancé. These will be scattered in a few different places that are special to us.

The final 1/3 is to be combined with concrete and made into ice cube sized pieces to be taken to different reefs around the world by whomever will take them.

I currently carry a tiny portion of my wife and her dog with me everywhere.

I wouldn't even know what people did.

But maybe...
Hide pieces of my body in the vents of Mar a lago.
Let them rot and stink up the place.

I'm not here, physically couldn't give a shit

Whatever is the most ecologically sound method of disposal.

don't give a shit

take my organs, practice cutting me up, burn the rest or bury me under a tree that you'll see grow for decades

I don't care, I'll be dead. Whatever is cheapest and simplest.

Cremate me and stick the ashes in a nice chunk of woods

There's a burial forest near here, I'll be quite happy there. No markers, no embalment, no coffin, just a shroud and trees.

High explosives. At least I could go out with a good bang.

Compost. I don't really care about a marker or whatnot either. Maybe, if I had to; a cherub with a solar powered pump that periodically pees on [billionaires] grave stone or maybe just a simple stone with this meme but, eh. Won't matter to me after the fact because I am not.

I want to be left in a strangers car trunk.

I intend to leave requests for some minor crimes related to my cremated ashes, in my will.

Nothing too serious, just enough to fuck with whoever executes my will. To...uh... remind them I was thinking of them, and maybe to make them a tiny bit relieved to be rid of my bullshit.

Launched from the solar system on a path out of the galaxy. Or left in the wilderness for nature to have it's way.

Seems like we all want to be as nutrient-conserved as possible! It's too bad there are all the rules about proper disposal - I get why they're there, but yeah, random hole for me. Tree on top sounds great

Organ donation or medical/scientific use. Whatever parts are not useful can be disposed of in whatever way is easiest.

Make a marionette out of my body and use it to tell my life story.

A friend from high school wants his hands to be glued to the side of his face, then be decapitated so it looks like he pulled off his own head.

Don't really care, since I'll be dead. But donating my body to medical school doesn't sound so bad
