whats the cheapest legal way to dispose of my dead body so i can stick it to the funeral industry?

Hey look, once my body is donated it's not my business what they do with it. I'm the same way that once I hand over spare change to the guy on the street, it's not my business what he does with it.
In a sense, that's true. But we're also talking about making arrangements while we're alive, knowing that our wishes now will translate into action later.
If I plant a tree so that my grandchildren might enjoy the shade, I'm still making a decision to do something based on what I believe the effects will be after I die.
So if we're making decisions on where or how to donate our bodies after our deaths, we'd still generally want to choose a worthy cause.

Weapons are good enough, fuck those guys. If I'm donating my body I want it to be for something useful, like improving medicine or surgery

Yeah, but if, like OP, the intent of donating your body is to ensure that one exploitative industry (the funeral industry) doesn't profit from your death, you probably also want to make sure that other industries (like the military industrial complex) that you also don't like aren't going to be able to benefit either.

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.
The cheapest method is to abandon the body. People die without family all the time and the State has a method to dispose of unclaimed corpses. Cost $0

My son is in his water bottle. Never bought an urn from the crematorium.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Also a good video about body disposal. Good channel for death related things.

That doesn't stick it to the industry though. Still gets them paid. It's not about saving the money from what I can tell

Do you have access to a woodchipper?

You ever see those old videos and photos of the monks protesting the Vietnam war…or you could do a sky funeral.

wrote last edited by [email protected]If you really want to stick it to the funeral industry, and you're including crematoriums and all other aspects in that, I think the only option is burial at sea.
Put it in your will that you want your friends and family to go on a deep-sea fishing cruise. Specify they must bring you along, and once they reach the approved and legal dumping location and have you naked and weighted so you sink, they can raise their glasses, make a toast, and pitch you over the side.

Water cremation can be pretty cheap IF it's legal where you are

I don't know the cost but I kind of want to be composted. That's a thing.

You can shop around for crematoriums near you. Most of them in the US pick up the body as part of their fee. $300-800 to cremate a body. They mail you the ashes in a plastic bag. Some will offer urns, but that's an extra charge you can skip. Most states don't consider burying ashes the same as burying a body. Different laws. You can prepay, and have a card in your wallet with the company's info on it in case someone stumbles upon your body.
My wife and I have spoken about what we want done. My plan for her is to cremate her, then go to a local nursery and find a nice hearty, long living, low-maintenance flowering tree she would have liked and plant her and the tree in my back yard.
Please note the larger/heavier you are the more it can cost. Also most medical programs don't like to take overweight bodies for dissection programs as they are harder to keep/work with.
