Ask Lemmy

Volunteers among both their loved ones and their victims should vote on every aspect of it. /j

I don't have an opinion on that, but I do think they don't deserve us to call them by their names. Having their name go down in history is what they want — referring to them descriptively (eg. 'the tyrant who took over Nazi Germany') takes the focus away from the person and puts it on their horrible actions – which anyone with those traits, not necessarily just A**** ****** could have done.

nah

As long as I get my dumpster burial I think even bad people can have the burial of their dreams.

There was a serial paedophile killer in the UK who killed (after doing other things) someone I know's daughter. When he died, he was cremated and dumped in the ocean in an undisclosed location from a boat. This was only released after the fact.

Yes. No exception. Period.

Because the burial is not for the dead themselves, but for anyone left behind.

No matter how vile a person is, it's likely that they had at least a person or two who miss them.

there's a huge debate on what "bad" means.

but if we skip that and just single out an opinion, like for my opinion, the dead bad person isn't affecting me anymore so I just let it go.

should the relatives of a bad person be allowed to see the corpse treated respectfully

good question. afaik, i haven't heard of countries or governments trying to own corpses.
... i was wrong
