My dream is to die with absolutely nothing but massive bank debt. I have no living relatives, so there is no one to get the money from. I mean, "Hello Mr. Twat you have terminal cancer" next stop is the bank to take out the biggest loan my excellent credit will let me get. Tom Selleck the house go to Vegas bet it all on black until it's gone return home and burn the house down around me fuck the bank...a boy can dream lol

Legally give a homeless person ownership of the house

Those targeted ads aren't messing around

Edit: Personally I've already got an urn picked out for me. A probably too large coffee can of my favorite coffee brand.

I'd prefer it not get used for my ashes for at least a few more decades though.

Is there a Ralphs nearby?

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

That's because America is Ferenginar.

Graveyards are a waste of space & good land. Land is for the living. Cremation is the way; it is clean, responsible, & considerate.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 weeks ago

. I'd rather be harvested for any useful organs if I have any left healthy enough to save someone, then the rest of me thrown in some kind of corpse compost or bio reactor or something.

[-] the_third@feddit.de 14 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, but the whole thing isn't about you but about the people you leave behind. It helps me a lot that I can visit the place where I buried my father's ashes and tell him about what is going on and how live is currently. I miss him a lot.

[-] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 3 weeks ago

For every person like you there may be a person like me that couldn’t care less to visit a grave. I can remember my fallen ones from anywhere.

Don’t want to sound callous but if you’re dead you’re dead to me too, like it’s a part of life. Just accept it and move on. I’m gonna die one day whoop whoop.

[-] Carnelian@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe as a compromise, then, the people who care can do the thing and the people who don’t don’t have to?

[-] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 weeks ago

Sure, but if the argument is that graveyards take to much valuable space that could be used to house living humans.

Perhaps people should keep ashes in their own gardens etc and you can alsways go and do the things you do.

To be transparent, this isn’t something I have given a lot of thought to until I saw this thread.

[-] Carnelian@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Suppose so, I feel like they’re pretty low on the list of land we could reclaim tho. Would rather go after golf courses first for example

[-] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 weeks ago

Oh I agree that golf courses would be a priority. The same for office blocks where people can work from home.

I’m with mark twain on golf, it’s a good walk spoiled 😂

I'd like my ashes to go into a firework and be spread out all over my local area. Go out with a bang!

I don't care what happens to my corpse, because I'll be dead then. Never understood, why people still care nowadays, religion I guess.

When I'm dead just throw me in the trash

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

Casket+ includes a lid! Only $59.99/hour (surge pricing if used between hours of 10pm and 8am)

Don't you love your dead relatives? Or are you cheap?

[-] knobbysideup@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 weeks ago

Cremation. Tubes for ashes. Instructions to friends and family where to toss me and maybe plant a tree.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

I want my remains spread at the happiest place on Earth, Disneyland.

Also, I don’t want to be cremated.

[-] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 6 points 3 weeks ago

The final yeeeeeeet

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 16 points 3 weeks ago

Paying for it after you need it seems like a bad business plan tbh.

[-] Wrench@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Sky burial. Just chop me up and feed me to the vultures

[-] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

Sky burial. Throw me out of an airplane.

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 weeks ago

Sky burial. Throw me in a wood chipper.

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

We probably gonna wait till you’re dead but fine

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 weeks ago

Reddit is desperate for ads.

[-] coffee_with_cream@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago

Just take that $22 per month and invest it instead. You'd come out on top

My grandpa handmade his coffin with some really nice walnut. Quilted the inside I believe. He's still kicking, so it gets used as a prop at Halloween

[-] Shady_Shiroe@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Death will be a subscription

[-] DarylDutch@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

It is, Grave plots are temporary.

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 8 points 3 weeks ago

Better buy one now before they’re subscription only.

[-] psmgx@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Costco sells caskets. Seriously. Order one online on the cheap.

Best part? They have multiple (positive) reviews.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

who is leaving those reviews? satisfied customers? Is internet access available to Costco customers after death?

Caskets really need some design updates. They look so depressing.

[-] baggins@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 weeks ago

Bury me in this: gaming PC case

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

Hmm why aren't RGB coffins a legit thing? These casket makers need to get with the times and understand their audience lol

Hit me up when you die and I'll set you up a wooden box for $22 straight up, just a once time payment.

[-] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's actually something good to invest in. My wife's grandmother did it in like the 80s, and all the family had to do was pick out sandwiches for the wake.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

My dad really wasnt much of a dad, when my grandmother died and he got left a little money we had a pretty frank conversation "I never expected you to leave me a cent, because I never expected you to have one. So do me a favor, prepay your funeral with some of this money then piss the rest up the wall for all I care. Just dont stick me with a bill when you go."

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Can you not just 'leave it to his estate'? Are the next of kin legally responsible for that?

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Well... I AM the next of kin. Its not like I hate the man, he was just a pretty shitty dad. He has friends and family who would want a funeral to attend. I can legally speaking say "Not my problem" and the government will give him a free cremation and return the ashes to me or my sister but thats it.

Me getting him to prepay it wasnt just a smart investment for me, it also meant that he couldnt kick the bucket at the worst possible time and put me in a position where I had to chose between looking after the best interests of my family and keeping the mortgage paid OR giving him a decent send off. Because honestly, in that spot he would lose.

Selfishly I do hope he doesnt manage to spend it all, but knowing its paid is just something I know I dont need to worry about.b
