I’d like to become a tree.
Used as a prop for a Halloween haunted house.
Resurrected or uploaded.
The matter that makes up my cells has been going through the cycle of life for god knows how long. All I know is I’ll be pissed if that cycle is cut off to isolate that matter in a metal box in the ground.
Something cheap for my family.
Vengeful spirit, for sure.
My wish has also been to become a tree actually.
Its not legal where i live but i prefer if my body was buried as is without coffin in a forest so flora and fungi can feast on my nutrients.
If I can have anything, I want to explode into a bunch of butterflies.
If only real options are available, I am hoping composting is legal by then. Just be turned back into dirt and plants.
If you want to be a tree, go cremation. Trees get their carbon from the air not the soil.
Thats just carbon though. Surely the nutrients in the ground are equally important.
I thought cremains would be worse for the tree.
They are. I researched it because my mother wanted to grow a lemon tree from her cremains. Human ashes are too acidic for most plants to grow in unless you mix them with soil or compost. Which doesn’t seem at all respectful.
I believe they are mostly not even ashes, just ground up bone fragments
Dump my ashes into Mariana’s Trench. That way I can contribute to the local ecology…somehow.
Bury me “buns-up” in a sidewalk downtown so someone has a place to park their bicycle.
Now that is an idea I’ve not yet heard.
I don’t personally care. Burials and other ceremonies are for the living. I’d prefer something that doesn’t harm our environment and to donate as many organs as possible, but that’s pretty much it.
I like what you said about being a tree. I may steal that.
I don’t have kids. I plan to leave my assets to a charity. Probably something for animals but I haven’t really planned that far ahead yet.
Right on.

Easy, just die near your cat(s) and the same day they’ll chomp.
A dog waits a little while, iirc. They lick your face, then nip, and if you don’t respond eventually chomp too.
they would both get thirsty pretty soon if nobody came to rescue them from the dead body apartment
I would like to remain dead
I’ve organised to have my body donated to a medical school for dissection. It was quite complicated, lots of forms to be filled in and witnessed. My executor has to phone the university when I die & they send a van to collect me. They won’t accept my body if I’ve died of something communicable, or it was eg some accident that left me too mangled. When they’re done with me I’ll be cremated and my name goes up on a plaque in a special garden.
Fuck it, I wanna be cryogenically frozen, if I can have the chance of living hundreds of years in the future, no matter how slim, I’d rather be prepared.
