bothered by the idea of my funeral

[author]

I don't want a funeral and I don't want to be buried in a cemetery. I have a lot of religious trauma and the idea of my family possibly bringing in a priest or being religious at my funeral or even just the idea of being buried with crosses everywhere makes my skin crawl. I don't want to have someone messing with my body, adding all kinds of chemicals and shit either. I don't know if I believe in ghosts but I would definitely be a very angry one if that was done to my corpse...

Are you going to do something to make that happen?

Genuinely I don't really know what you're asking me. I'm not actively suicidal if that's what you're asking.

I can relate. No matter how I die, I do not want a funeral. If a loved one would really like my ashes, then fine I won't take that away from them. Otherwise if it was allowed I'd be fine with just being thrown in the water or left to decompose somewhere my body could be beneficial. Please don't jump through any hoops or spend any money and please don't throw me a party lol. I think it's really uncomfortable but I totally understand others wanting one.

Felt.

Really, though, I do get what you mean, I'm not gonna be buried under the correct name even.

Oh I can definitely relate to that. I haven't managed to legally change my name yet and there's no telling if my family will honor it. But I hope that if we're remembered it'll be by our real names.

I really meant to ask whether you were going to do something to make sure your funeral was what you wanted. But I see now that if you aren't actively suicidal that question doesn't make sense. Sorry about that!
