Why do we need a preserving corpse box. By the time I die, I will be more micro plastics than man. I will not decay. I will be embalmed by plastic symbiosis.

I've told my family more than once to arrange my funeral the cheapest way possible. If they had the option to dump me in the ocean, they have my blessing. Don't spend money on me, I'm DEAD.

Dump my body unceremoniously on the lawn of a billionaire.

I just want them to play "it's raining men" as they scatter my ashes. Because, well...

No joke y'all, plan shit like this now, not tomorrow, not next year. And I don't care your age or health. If you die tonight, the funeral industry vultures will swoop on your grieving people and fuck them over.

Working on end-of-life stuff with my new wife (both of us 52), and she doesn't like it, but it's getting done. If I eat it tomorrow, she'll be buying a casket, plot, headstone, whatever the hell she's told to buy.

Get a will drawn up, get a Living Will signed and notarized. Hell, just look up "end of life documents" and get to work if you love the people you might be leaving.

And if you're married, FFS get life insurance, preferably whole life. It's hilariously cheap if you're young, and I mean stupid cheap, like $10-20/mo. cheap for fat stacks. Study on it a bit, don't get jerked around! Had a good friend over the other night who sells and explained much.

Tried to get us on a plan that immediately pays out funeral expenses. Sounds great! Nah, we'll self-insure that small bit. Instead we'll setup a joint account and auto-pay $100-$200 a month until we're feeling good about it. $10-20K? Can't afford that? Who cares?! Pay $25/mo., whatever, it'll stack if you're young.

tl;dr: The funeral business gets away with this shit because we don't plan, and that's on us. And if you want a casket? Sure, take a plan as pictured.

Just buy them from costco. $1149 https://www.costco.com/funeral-caskets.html

Nah. I really want to make my death someone else's problem.

Also, people aren’t going to care about proper disposal when the apocalypse kicks in.

Coffins are a huge waste of money and space. Cremation's the way to go.

If it were up to me ... I'd prefer you just wrap my body in a plastic bag and throw it in the trash

The world disregards human life so easily in so many parts of the world ... why should anyone have any respect for my dead body.

Had to plan an unexpected funeral. They were going to be cremated but we wanted to have a service first. They have caskets, that are meant to be burnt, for the low price of $6,000. This was over 10 years ago too. I'm sure it's much more now.

When I die fire me out of a freakin cannon into the sun.

I don‘t want to be put in casket when I die and have people mourning. Two things should be thrown when I die: a big ass party and whatever is left of me into the trash.

When I die, I don't give a shit what happens to my body, do whatever causes people and the planet the least ammount of crap.

I weigh alot, so use a cart to wheel me around so you don't injure your backs trying to carry me.

If cremation is the least bad, do that, if freeze drying is less bad than that, do that.

If you can use my corpse for science or education, go ahead.

Just, please wait untill I am dead.

Save thousands by picking the ugly color for your coffin!

Well when I die, it is not my problem anymore..

Catch me going out in that burnt mustard death whip babeee 😎

But seriously, it's natural burial AKA "green burial" for me.

It's not that absurd if you're thinking of your family. Just... myself and other people have way different priorities. Some that might involve dipping my corpse in peanut butter and covering it in birdseed so that I might be the world's first human pinecone bird feeder.

Edit: I just hope when I'm dead there is one person around to say, "He's dead, he could in no way possible give one more single fuck.."
