July 12, 20241 yr I've told family in the past I want to be donated to a body farm, but I haven't really looked into it or made arrangements.
July 12, 20241 yr I want to be launched at the cowboys stadium from a plane. After that I don’t care what happens.

July 13, 20241 yr You will most likely be exploded by the army in bomb testing after your corpse is sexually violated

July 13, 20241 yr No, I have always said I wanted to be mulched, and this is a thing now. I'd rather my body feed a tree and the worms.
July 13, 20241 yr I haven't really thought about it much. I did register as an organ donor in my twenties when I renewed my driver's license. I think you can also donate some other tissues like ligaments and tendons up to a certain point. But if I just die of old age where my body is of little value to anyone, I guess I'll just ask to be cremated. Taking up a plot of land in a cemetery seems archaic. I have family members interred in a mausoleum and every time I visit them I can't help but think of what a waste of resources it is.

Part of why I want to be donated. Plus, I can possibly be of some help. I’m glad my wife wanted creamation. The total cost was under $4000, still a good chunk of cash but a lot less than burial where you likely can’t get that done for under $10,000 by the time it’s all said and done.

Had no idea cremation was that expensive. Thought it might've been a few hundred bucks. Is a lot of the because of the urn or something? Also sorry to hear about your wife, Joe.

Also sorry to hear about your wife, Joe. Thank you. No, the Urn is separate. We actually didn’t get an urn because she wanted to be scattered in the ocean. I did suggest to her kids that they could get small urns for themselves if they want to keep part of her, and then scatter the rest. We did go thru the itemization of the costs the day after but I was still in a daze then. We did what they call a direct cremation which was the cheapest option. It can get more expensive depending on what you put them in, (cardboard like container vs a nicer wooden casket like container). I had hoped it’d be cheaper too, but I chalked it up to the death industry being a business like any other.
