Story Planning my funeral

[Jumper Seoirse]

OMG can't believe it just planning my funeral and the bastards even fat shame you when you are dead, if you are overweight they charge you an additional £250, moral of this story The 7 Day Egg Diet can't believe it I will do this once a month for a few months to drop a few stone.

Not that I'm in a hurry to CTB I just want my affairs in order and everything paid upfront to prevent any additional grief.

Cheers

I find it crazy that funerals even cost money that should be covered for the family's

You sound kinda happy you are finally planning your funeral.
I'm glad for you.
It's a wonderful feeling when you actually begin the final planning and preparations.
It's actually euphoric for me.
Typical ripoff funeral people charging you extra.
Bunch of bastards they are.

I would personally never want a funeral, instead I would just wish to be forgotten about, but anyway I wish you the best with your plans.

Even if you pre-pay for a bare basic cremation - no service- it seems to be nearly £1,000 in the UK! Seems ridiculous to me but there we go. Either we or our families get ripped off even when we die. I doubt it's legal to dispose of a body personally! We don't get much choice. Unless of course- the family can't pay- then I expect the state does out of tax payers money I assume.

Nothing is free in this world even after death they will squeeze money out of you! That's why I will not plan anyting I just want to leave this world in a peaceful and dignified way and what happens after with my body I don't care. I wish you all the best!

This is my wish too. Im going to Mexico for N. I will travel out into the deserted areas and die. The vultures and predators can feed off my corpse.

Yes, I'm in UK too. I went to the co-op funeral shop and asked about a direct cremation. The guy said it would be around £1,500.
I said " fuck that, they can throw me on the rubbish tip when I pop my clogs "
The look on the guy's face was priceless.

If you don't prepay you can claim somewhere between £700-£1000 so in some respects it would be better not to prepay as you can only claim other expenses which would be a few hundred pounds but instead, I might have a delayed courier with all my details and requests plus cash for the funeral to my brother so he can claim as well, I paid tax for over 30 years so it will be nice knowing I'm getting a rebate when I'm dead,

I think the 'back to nature' approach is appealing to many people. Still- will no one report you missing? Do you think they won't try to trace you and your body? Then have to fly the remains home for investigation?... And burial/cremation?

Also- I don't know about humans and Nembutal specificically but I do know poisons in animals can pass on through consumption by other animals. Maybe all those vultures will get is sedated but it may be worth finding out...

That's interesting- thanks. Yeah- why not- you've paid in all that time!

In my case- by the time I go, I'll likely have no close relations left. Only step family and other distant family and friends- literally in terms of when I saw them last and physical distace- 100's of miles away. If I leave it to them, they'll likely feel obliged to pay for a funeral and all that and I really don't want them to have all that hassle. I guess I could leave instructions in a list of wishes but I want things to be as simple for them when I go as possible. I've instructed my solicitor to handle everything. Just depends on individual circumstances I guess. Some people's families will want to hold a funeral to say 'goodbye'. It's more for them at the end of the day anyway I think.

Isn't that awful?!! £1.5k! I don't see why it needs to be that much...

Nobody will report me missing because I am completely alone in the world. I cut my toxic family out of my life years ago. No contact for ages now.
Got rid of my so-called friends as well a long time ago.
Yes, the vultures can have a good meal and get high at the same time.
