I'm assuming it's not a coincidence that the mummification service was started by someone named Ra.

My dad is in an urn in my kitchen. It's blue because he liked blue.

I know someone who had her son's ashes made into a firework. They had a celebration of his life and set off the firework. Awesome!

I've never thought about this, but imagine people waking up from a cryogenic sleep to find out that Donald Trump is the president of the USA

My grandfather's ashes were launched into space along with the ashes of Star Trek's Scotty actor James Doohan (1/2)

Granddad's career was aerospace engineering with NASA, and my father was a huge trekkie, so it only felt right. (2/2)

We've all seen what happens when you smoke your boys ashes. (Ivory-how high)

Thats what my friends and me gonna do haha

We cremated my mother when she died, but were unable to spread her ashes over a tomato plant, as she requested. We just moved she died (1/2)
askanceview
(2/2) and lost her garden. I made a tomato-shaped urn for her ashes, and resides next to her philosophy books. I think she would like that.

I want to bury my enemies in that urn, then burn the plant. I've killed you twice.

I would tell my family that I was made in to a vinyl in my will and leave just a normal vinyl that has a note that says listen in 6 months1/
Mukeli
In addition id "leave" them a tree that was actually me and the vinyl says that i bet you let tree die bitches. Worry more about nature.

I've already instructed my wife to bury me in a shallow unmarked grave in disputed territory.

If you're interested in this shit, read Mary Roach's "Stiff." Pretty funny, awesome ideas.
propelledfeline
Thanks, one idea I've thought about is having a black smith make a sword with my ashes infused with it somehow.

when I die I'd like to be buried so when the zombies come I can join in and fuck humanity

If I ever become a zombie, I want machetes duct taped to my hands and to be wearing full body armor

I've told my girlfriend that many times. It's either that or I'm being stuffed by a taxidermist...dress me up for the holidays and whatnot.

NotQuiteDeadYetPool
My funeral plans are complex... First, I want to be cremated, but still have a coffin and ceremony. Second, at that ceremony, my coffin 1/?
NotQuiteDeadYetPool
will look like The Arc of the Covenant (feel free to toss a john/jane doe in the coffin, I won't care). Third, my cremation should take 2/?
NotQuiteDeadYetPool
place will before my "funeral" where my ashes are to be placed inside of decent pens that have "Here lies (my name)" and then passed out 3/?
NotQuiteDeadYetPool
among the attendees of the funeral without their knowledge. Left over pens will be placed at banks/shops/anywhere people steal pens. 4/?
NotQuiteDeadYetPool
Finally, I want my "Arc coffin" to be placed in an old and unkempt cemetery and my head stone to be made to look 100yrs old. If the 5/?
NotQuiteDeadYetPool
tech is available, I would like the head stone to produce low lying fog and a hologram of me walking around as a ghost with noises. 6/6
WhatzitTooya
Putting dead bodies on a tree, in a warm, moist climate like the Philippines... I dont even want to imagine the smell. No.
YouThinkThatsBad
They did it in the warm moist climate of the South US for a while and seemed to cause a gathering of people.
WhatzitTooya
Well, sure, but you know, the Filipino guys where probably already dead when they got put there...

I should put that on my "to watch" list I suppose!
Madamekg
It's so great, very dark humor but it's very funny.
Cyoulateralligator
as a funeral director.. don't get embalmed. everyone has a diaper and we seal any leaks with glue and butt plugs..edema is the devil
Larentiah
For real? Please do an informational post!
Waaahmbulance
Seriously?!
Cyoulateralligator
embalming is basically an arms race against bloating and leaking (fluids collecting is edema) hmm ill try and put together a post
Cyoulateralligator
things like punctures from an IV or anything have to get sealed
Cyoulateralligator
other fun one is cavity fluid. If you have ever microwaved chicken, so its raw on the inside but cooked
Cyoulateralligator
on the outside thats how the cavity fluid works. It chemically seals the inside. If you spill any the whole room is evacuated

Is being compressed into a diamond then launched into space an option? I want to be a space diamond.

Science. Donate your body to science. Help the world.
judgemasterven
Cryo-freezing-stasis-whatever is technically a non-exact science. Along with whatever may allow people to be revived later! It is science!

Awesome for him to do that. Really makes a difference so that others in the future don't have to go through the same thing.
KebabRemovalUnit
Chances are your body will just be put in a corpse farm
debunker
Like a cemetery?
KebabRemovalUnit
Well yeah except above ground exposed to the elements
debunker
Ahhh .. is that what it's called? The place where they study decomposition. I'm ok with that .. that's science.
JudgeMoody
Only a small percentage 30% of bodies donated are ever used for scientific study. You have to meet a certain criteria body fat, height etc
JudgeMoody
Source:bf is a mortician
emergencyhuman
I could work on the rest, but height? Damn. How tall do I have to be?
debunker
It's based on need.
emergencyhuman
If I sense my end is near, I shall kill all tall people, so there's a surplus of that and I, the short one, will be needed.
debunker
Username accurate.
debunker
Right. But that's not a reason to NOT donate.
JudgeMoody
Right, it's not a reason not to donate. But, 70% of bodies donated are just desposed of
ikoart
Depends on your country, but either way it's not like they just say "No thanks" and dump you in the bin, you can still be nicely buried etc
debunker
Oh well. At least you tried. Like @ikoart said; they don't just throw you out. Plus, my first go-to is organ donation. Whatever they need.
DownWithBigParma
I'm not positive, but I think I read in Stiff by Mary Roach that if you are an organ donor, you cannot also donate your body to science

Can someone just dump my body in an active volcano?
IJustFavoriteCuteAnimals
not legally...
BerntheVote2020
Illegal.
VoidIncarnate
The volcano gods appreciate the virgin sacrifice. Was a little chewy, though.
2sday
For a ritual or just chuck your body all willy-nilly?
catprolly
Just chuck it..I don't even care if you miss at first and I'm only halfway in and you have to awkwardly kick the rest of me in
IAmJacksViagraInducedErection
Virgin sacrifice style eh?
MPinky
Normally they sacrifice a live virgin...
AndPromisTomorrow
No cause that is only virgins, and I know for a fact a hot and attractive Imgurian such as yourself won't qualify

What if after it becomes inactive? "He didn´t accomplish much in life, but after he died he deactivated a volcano and save a small village."

Ah so you are the sacrificial virgin that was promised
