Venting my dad wont cremate me because of his religious beliefs

[mossmoth]

both me and my mother have both explicitly said in the past that we do not want to be buried. we want to be cremated. my dad doesn't care. he's religious. both me and my mom left religion. He has said that he knows what we want but it doesnt matter.

i hate it. i hate the idea of my corpse. i never want my body to be a body again.

Fuck your dad. That's all I have to say.

That's why a will is important and someone besides him be the executer.

write a will and make sure it says "i want to be cremated, no matter what"

You might also have to fight a legal battle with your local government.

Years ago, one of my relatives died in a car accident. Since this kind of death was not considered by local laws as a natural one (i.e: organ failure), any rights to cremation were denied.

Just pointing that out... check your local laws on the matter.

I have a will... nobody can go against my wishes that way.

I'm religious (Catholic) and I respect my family's expressed wishes, I wouldn't impose my beliefs on their corpses. But for me, I just want to be dead, I don't care what happens to my body if someone decides to disrespect my wishes. I'll be dead and have no say and won't even know. For me that's part of why I want to be dead, just, don't want to be bothered with all this kind of stuff.
