    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.

                            Holy shit, can those even exist anywhere? You got me thinking. It feels like a potential rabbit hole.

                                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.

                                          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.
