    Pay a local taxidermist to stuff you so your kid/friend/partner can have you hang out in their living room. I told my mom I'm gonna have her stuffed and posed like a bear.

    Thinking about this now it makes sense why my mom picked my sister as the executor.

    The one idea I have is to be taxidermied; doing an obscene gesture,

      They can't exactly force you to pay for a funeral you don't want.

      Where I'm at that's exactly how it works. Even if you don't accept the inheritance, funeral expenses are owed by the next of kin (jointly if there's more than one in equal lineage).

      They might not be able to force you to conduct the funeral, but they will enforce the costs regardless. If there's an estate left, the next of kin can claim it back from the estate though, if somebody further down the line accepted the inheritance.

      Depending on your jurisdiction, the State will act as the Estate Administrator. The State will liquadate all assets and deduct any expenses (funeral, taxes, etc). The money will then sit in a trust account waiting for be claimed.

          Become entirely homeless and cut off all contacts and remove all identification so no one will be around to care when you die.

                Donate everything still working and the rest goes to a medical school for practice.

                    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.

                          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.

                            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.

                                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.
