[The anhedonic one]

The film " Midsommar " has some amazing content regarding death and funerals.

 

[BornHated]

I'd like to raise attention to Aquamation/Alkaline Hydrolysis! It's an alternative to cremation.

burial but without all the non-biodegradable caskets and tomb stones etc., just burying a body in the ground to let it naturally decompose. giving the body back to the earth in a sense. it makes the most sense bc thats just how dead things are supposed to be left, and doesnt take up space or waste resources. there is no logical reason for any other method in my opinion.

It depends on your religion and cultural beliefs I guess. The method which appeals to me the most would be a woodland burial- feeding a plant or tree- or terramation- human composting. However- you can bet both of them would be inordinately expensive, so, it's likely to be a pre-paid cremation with no service for me.

You and me are polar opposites in this regard . I voted for cryonics lol . I want to keep the motherfuckin trees and microbes off of me. Maybe I will get a chance again at life if they find a cure.

Your reasoning behind your choice says you have a kind soul.

I don't think any of us would go with being frozen in hopes to continue this awful life someday lol.


This is the first time I hear about sky burials and it is truly beautiful but I get why it is not legal in most places.

A woodland burial sounds beautiful. I would love for my remains to become one with nature again, especially the forests and the wildlife.

I also think that the ashes being thrown into body's of water is a meaningful choice but just not my cup of tea.

I do not like normal graveyards. But the idea of a graveyard in the middle of the forest, using the woodland method would be astonishing. Talking to the trees and the birds when visiting someone's 'grave'.

I should also add only when they find the cure for my current disease should they revive me otherwise let me remain frozen .

Then you will also like to read on "dakhma" which is still legit practiced among a religious groups called Zorastrians

A dakhma (Persian: دخمه), also known as a Tower of Silence, is a circular, raised structure built by Zoroastrians for excarnation (that is, the exposure of human corpses to the elements for decomposition), in order to avert contamination of the soil and other natural elements by the dead bodies.[1]​[2]​[3]​ Carrion birds, usually vultures and other scavengers, consume the flesh. Skeletal remains are gathered into a central pit where further weathering and continued breakdown occurs.

Personally I feel this very morbid but to each their own :)

for some reason i thought sky burial was referring to people being shot into space apologies im stupid lol. sky burial also makes a lot of sense, probably more than burial as it doesnt require disturbing the soil. i was originally going to additionally write "or even better leaving a body above ground to let animals scavenge off of" in my first reply lmao. i definitely didnt mean to include the actual meaning of sky burial as a method with no logical reason, it has by far the most logical reasoning.

 

[angel31]

Id say decomposing… recycle that shit :) but id guess sky burial is a kind of that so i voted this. The problem with cremation is that it takes a lot of "fuel?" and is kinda bad for the environment (still better then staying alive though lmao)

 

[CTBookOfLife]

Dress me in a sheet and throw me raw in the ground. Hell yeah.

 

[oneeyed]

Cremation but for the inner nerd... The Klingon death howl.

 

[trashhologram]

100% natural burial and aquamation. Aquamation is more eco friendly than cremation and natural burial just makes sense to me. Just throw my body into a hole and plant a seed so a tree will grow up where I've rotted away.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

None of them make sense since it's all useless to the person who is dead. Funerals are only for the living, not for the dead. For some reason people seem to have this sentimental and emotional attachment to their own body and they can't fathom at how their body would be dealt with after death but, once they are dead, they wouldn't care about this anymore. Objectively speaking, all funerals are pointless to the being who has dead. Subjectively speaking though, I'd ideally want to be cremated as I have this fear that humans may one day design technology that could bring newly dead people back to life and I'm terrified at how they could use this to bring me back to life. If I get cremated, I wouldn't ever have to worry about this and I can die at peace for all eternity

 

[nomoredolor]

Eco urn, turn me into a tree or coral reef

 

[ben_]

Aquamation for me as well. Cheaper, cleaner, and unlike cremation, medical implants could probably be resold and reused. People are already using pre-owned hearts or kidneys, why not medical implants? These things are expensive when new!

 

[Opera]

I'd like to add a burial I once heard about, and it was tree pod burial. I thought it was really interesting as someone who's very concerned over climate change
