anyone else think that graves are selfish? like, bitch, you lived on this planet for 33 years and now you get to take up space for the next 300? fuck outta here.
I want to be perfectly mummified and preserved and then buried in a grand spooky tomb deep in the desert where I will be discovered by awe stuck humans thousands of years later
I read somewhere that if you do whole-body donation, your organs aren't given to people who need them - the whole cadaver goes to medical schools for trainees to cut up. Obviously doctors need training and stuff, but I'd like my delicious kidneys to save a life more than I want them to be target practice for a 22 year old sociopath surgeon.
Depending on what a person died of not all of their organs are viable for every use case.
Consider a elderly person with a history of illness might not have a kidness healthy enough to surive and function in a transplant. However training a surgion or in a lab they could still do some good. For sure more good than being filled with peteochemicals and burried

Take my useful organs and throw the rest on a bonfire, use the money you saved on funeral home bullshit to make a nice remembrance party out of it
Someone I knew had his ashes mixed into a large bottle rocket. It ended up ping-ponging off two different trees and exploding on a neighbour's roof.

I WILL BE REMEMBERED!
For real give me a sky burial.
But honestly just donate all your organs and give your body to science.

Oh, definitely. I was thinking specifically of my own exquisite corpse, I suppose.
I want my organs to be harvested and the rest to be buried under a tree. Carbon cycle, yo.
Counterpoint: worms are pretty cool so it's nice to help feed them, as well as contribute to the ecosystem, with your dead body
agreed but being interred in a hermetically sealed casket doesn't really do anyone much good
you can do that without a grave
Embalming chemicals are super toxic. I'm not sure if worms can tolerate them. I know that they slowly kill off the surrounding plant life.
Embalming chemicals? Sorry for being dumb
The juice they use to keep dead bodies from decomposing for open-casket funerals and stuff.
