Donate your body to science. My mother did that. She used to joke that they would put her body in a car trunk in the desert, or some other location, and see what time and decay did so they could measure the process. For all I know, that's literally where her body is right now. They also do other experiments. Then, after a few years, they return cremated remains to you.
Try to find an institution that will take your body. I've looked into it. There's a place in a neighboring state that will take mine, but if I die more than 100 miles from them, someone will need to arrange to transport the body to them. There's not much more to it for me.

John Oliver did a story on that one for people in the US. Donating your body to science doesn't mean it'll end up as dissected cadaver for medical students.

fuck thousands for a coffin. or hundreds for an urn. can i legally be burried in butcher paper?
can i donate my body to science and skip burrial all together?
i want my final action to be a big middle finger to the funeral industry picking on people in their weakest moments.
Do a viking funeral. You know, that ceremony where you are sent out in a boat and a fire arrow is fired into the boat so it burns down while floating into the sunset.
But skip the boat. Have someone chuck you into the ocean and shoot arrows at you until you sink.

Live with cats. They will take care of it.

God that sounds so nice.
Well, in my mind it's freezing to death on a side walk pressed against a wall trying to stay under the one unobstructed over hang.

i will donate my body to a necrophilia foundation
Holy shit, can those even exist anywhere? You got me thinking. It feels like a potential rabbit hole.

But which one would you choose there are so many

have your homies smoke your ashes in a blunt
Ashes don't burn any further. That is why they are ashes.

Science Vs. did a great episode on Human Composting a few years back. It's really touching and highlights a fantastic way to convert your death into life.
Here is a link to the episode.

I want to be launched into the ocean with a catapult

Have nothing of value left when you die and make sure your relatives refuse ownership of anything. Leave it as a problem for the state to deal with.

There are burial grounds that are basically natural parks, where you have to be buried in something biodegradable, like a shroud or pine needle basket, and no grave markers are allowed besides something like a tree or uncut rock. (Burial locations are recorded by gps.) I'd like to be buried in one of these places. Not sure what the cost is, though.
Wouldn't that also be funeral industry

When I die just throw me in the trash

Donate everything still working and the rest goes to a medical school for practice.
Do that and your organs will get sold from the back of a van

No lie, i want a sky burial. Your body is split open and left on a mountainside populated by vultures, after a few days the villagers return and collect your bones, the only thing left. They grind your bones and mix them into crackers, which are then spread around the fields for birds to eat.
Your entire body goes back to the birds, i love it. My wife isn’t taking it seriously but I mean it, i want one of those -
I probably should have said "safely" rather than just "sanitary", I was thinking about water burials and ground water contamination when I said that.
And also just like... Leaving the body out in a public area.As long as you're not putting people in danger, and you're not disrespecting the deceased, what would be illegal?
Most states have laws indicating you must involve a funeral director to ensure the.body is disposed of properly, and then define the licensure requirements for a funeral director to include the types of disposal they can oversee.
It means they don't need to define every type of burial you're not allowed to do, and there should be a qualified professional to ensure whatever you're doing is okay before you do it.The libertarian impulse to say that if it doesn't hurt anyone it should be legal butts into the reality that every time we have that policy for body disposal things tend to go funny in unexpected ways.

Max out all your cards or tell your kids to do so. Buy stuff that is consumable so there are no assets to reclaim.
