I feel sort of weird about a coroner and people like that seeing my body naked, but I know it's just their job and they probably won't care too much. Necrophilia kinda frightens me for right after I die and all but at the end of the day it doesn't matter too much cause I'll have left my body. I'm hoping to be covered in bear grease, wrapped in leaves or bark, placed atop a pile of firewood, for my loved ones to place plants and medicines on top of my body, then set alight with torches by a few specific people. Or just cremated and for my ashes to be thrown into Hudson Bay from a specific town in northern Manitoba.

Honestly the only thing I would care about is that I don't want to traumatize whoever stumbles across my body. Which is why my plan went from jumping in front of a train to SN and likely jumping into a lake. Other than that, I really would not care about what happens. After I ctb I don't exist anymore, so I cant be around to judge whatever you do to me. Literally just toss me into a dumpster somewhere and Ill be perfectly happy.

I've chosen a lengthier but peaceful-appearing method (amitriptyline) instead of partial in large part because I want to minimize the trauma to those that find my remains, and because a friend expressed horror that a colleague hanged herself (operating under the assumption that this was a prolonged, painful, and frightening way to die). I know that a fatal overdose would be much less upsetting for both of them.

I don't want to leave behind a decomposing mess, trash the place (I'm renting), or risk the safety of my pets. I will likely attempt over a weekend when I won't be missed at work. I'll set an automatic email to notify a relative in the evening if my employer doesn't request a welfare check. (I am reliable and don't no-call no-show, so it should be obvious that something is amiss when I fail to materialize.) My previous employers would have reached out, but I suspect my current (nightmare) boss will just be pissed, hence the email. Should give me plenty of time to render myself unsalvageable before I'm found.

Only real regret is that between the method and the delay, my organs won't be suitable for donation.

As long as my corpse is not found by anyone, and my death remains a secret, then it does not bother me too much.

I hate the thought of some guy examinating my body. There was this suicide report of a few poeple, they stated if these people had self harm marks so that means they looked pretty closely I guess.
I do have a ton of self harm scars and I hate my body (sometimes at least) and I don't want anyone to see it

Just incinerate my body. Put me in magma idk, I want no trace of whatever existence I had to be remembered, acknowledged, nor discovered. Just forget me, make sure my ashes are also forgotten. Erase me and my body.

I've thought about the methods and specifically how I would be found. I don't want it to be family. Once I realized what would be most fitting taking being found out of the equation the method became more clear. Whatever happens after I CTB doesn't matter. It's a body I'm not in.

Everything I've read leads me to think autopsies are mandatory after a suicide. Too many cases of relatives trying to pass a murder off as a suicide for it to be otherwise. I don't think families can prevent them, even if they wanted to.

And after an autopsy I think your corpse is such a mess organ donation is no longer possible. First, because rot sets in immediately after death and in a short time all the organs they'd want are unusable and second because they're going to go digging for gold in your corpse and kind of make a mess of it internally. Your corpse (and mine, more likely than not) isn't just going to be stripped, it is gonna be dissected, basically.

Just so nobody has any illusions.

Live fast, die young and make a beautiful corpse is a cute saying, but it ain't the reality of anybody who CTBs. Not that I've lived fast or am young. And since even alive I'm only a small remove from small child frightening in terms of my looks, I think the beautiful corpse thing is off the table as well. :nomouth:

don't care much. but i found this mushroom burial suit that i think is so cool. i think turning into mushrooms is fun and far bettter for the environment (something i care a lot about). and it's cheaper than burials and cremation. but i wouldn't ask for it for when i die bc it's such an odd and annoying request.

It's disturbing to think about, but I know I won't be around to care anymore once I ctb. I do worry about how long it'll take someone to find me though.

I don't care what i look like when i'm dead, i don't even care if i get totally mangled and half eaten. I do prefer not to be found though because i don't want to have a funeral and i really would like to just sneak out of life's back door without anybody noticing but that is unlikely to happen. Fortunately i wont be around to witness a load of people i never liked standing around eating scones at my funeral and pretending like we were so close when i rather scoop out my eyes with a spoon than talk to them :pfff:

Let them so what they want. I will be like this:

I personally do not care, although it'd be nice for my body to just simply look like I'm sleeping. I also want to be cremated so

I agree the thought of being burried is scary, i would hate to be burried alive, but i don't think my dead body will care

I want to be cremated and my ashes thrown into the ocean. Maybe the cute lil fishies will enjoy my remains : )
I am sad for having to disappoint you, but - since cremains are basically calcinated - and ground up - bone fragments (and maybe some ash from the coffin or cardboard box you were incinerated in) - I doubt any fish would enjoy your cremains. Sorry for that.
Maybe if they can arrange it for your body to be thrown into the ocean as it is - this is the traditional sea funeral sailors used to have: being sewn into a big canvas sheet with a heavy stone and being thrown into the deep, deep water -, then your desire about those cute little fishies enjoying your remains may come true :)
(Anyway, now that I am thinking about it, this does not seem to be a bad idea at all!)

No access to firearms or sarco or N? Not my fault if some people don't like having someone land next to them since it's basically my only option, if the gov't allowed me to buy a shotgun I'd do it in private.

I suppose that the only honest answer as to the fate of ones earthly remains must be "does it matter?" However, given that virtually all human civilizations have some form of mortuary tradition, clearly this is a concern that is baked into us. For my own part, if it comes to it that I must take my life, I would do so in a way that removes the possibility of my being found by a family member.

When I die all I want is for my body that be cremated and have my ashes spread into the soil so I can help trees and plants grow from what little that's left of me.

This seems kind of silly to worry about because I'll be dead so... who cares. I won't even be able to care.

But still I hate the idea of looking disgusting or embarrassing. Luckily for me I don't live alone so I'll be found fairly quickly but yikes.

Tbh my biggest issue with hanging myself is how I would look after. With my neck all messed up and my tongue probably hanging out. I know with SN I'll be a little blue due to cyanosis but I guess that's not the worst? Before I knew about SN I was gonna shoot myself so I'm sure I'll look much better this way. I'm glad I at least won't be one of those rotting bloated corpses.

There is also the whole funeral thing too. I want to get cremated... I wonder if they have to undress you for that? That's awful to think about I really hope not. I'm also listed as an organ donor but I'm not sure if they can use anything if I die from SN?

The state of my corpse just bothers me. I wish my body would just disappear.
Same, though for my plan if I do kill myself, I'll do it in a mountain/forest with SN method. Hopefully so it wouldn't be discovered. My biggest gripe with dying in a hotel/house, I worry since the stigma is pretty bad, it would ruin the land value/affecting other people.

I dislike my family to some extend but I prefer if I do commit suicide it wouldn't affect their livelihood..

Well, basically the main reason I'm ending my hellish existence is because I am already trapped in an undesirable flesh prison that I cannot identify with. (This has also lead to a loss of so many other things and basic human comfort.)

I am requesting no wake, no funeral, straight to the oven...never mind an open casket! Yikes. I am already disturbed by people looking at me when I'm alive, but I guess it's less difficult for me to look that much worse dead, than someone who prides themselves on their appearance whilst alive. I see the appeal, but I don't have the luxury of indulging it.

Still, I suppose I am concerned about whoever finds me, seeing me, or of my wishes not being respected (terrified of that).
I don't want to be ogled with no consciousness for an ability to hide. I do worry that authorities will document my corpse in some way or they will be someone I know, who I would never want to come anywhere near me or invade my privacy.
But I am not going to make any impossible effort to look "nice" on my death bed or concern myself with the aftermath of my rotting corpse. Which, btw, has somewhat fair odds of actually starting to rot before anyone forces their way past my door. Conditions may become quite grotesque, before I am off to the morgue.

The thing is, I have to choose between that or risking being found early and succumbing to involuntary hospitalization or worse, brain damage. If I alert anyone, even in a subtextual way or say anything that may cause them to come over here and check up on me, there is a chance they will get here too soon. I'd rather them get here too late than too soon. I'm probably going to empty my room into another one, so that any rot or smell doesn't seep into too much of my surroundings. Maybe I will put a suitable cover over the bed or strip it down to the plastic mattress cover. Idk. Preparation is already exhausting enough as it is. I wish I could just disappear too, it's something I say often now.

Ideally I'd like my body to remain as presentable as possible. I will be getting buried. This is also out of respect to my parents, who have both crossed over and are at peace.
