Would you consider this

Bodies do that anyway, just longer in a coffin. I don't care. If you want to return to dust faster go ahead.
 
I guess so yeh. I think the idea of your body becoming one with the earth is something a lot of people like. And I suppose this is a sped-up version of that process compared to a biodegradable or traditional coffin?

I can see people liking the idea that their remains could enrich the garden of a loved one or something like that.

Honestly, I don't care what is done with my body after death. Because I literally can't. Though I hope my family doesn't waste too much money disposing of me.

That said, I'm planning on going to a body farm.

I think it will be very hard to pierce through radicated religion beliefs of the majority of people.
That's one of the reason why graveyards are usually built far from dense populated areas (health reasons too, of course), death is still a sensitive subject for many.
Personally I'll be cremated.
 
I don't really care all to much what happens with my body after I'm gone.
I'd want whatever will be cheaper and less of a hassle for my family, which is probably cremation.

Same. But I'll go for cremation. No point in having family members need to make the effort of caring for a tombstone.
 
No.
I want a proper burial.

I think people should be able to do whatever they want in their private lives, as long as it doesn't hurt others, so if you want to do that, go for it.

I don't think I'd go for it myself, though.

There are certain types of parasites and other infections (prions, etc) that could possibly be perpetuated by using humans as compost, much like using human feces for the same purpose. My mom wants to be cremated and the ashes used to start a tree though, which is symbolically at least the same concept.

Personally, I want to be turned into a diamond, put on a stud, and given to a hot belly dancer. Just kinda hard to word it clearly in my will :P
 
It's already legal where I'm at, and yeah it's a little weird, but they do have some "compost farms" that are essentially graveyards without all the headstones and coffins that grow flowers. Not for me, but some people like it so more power to them.
 
My spouse and I spoke about this a couple of decades ago. We both had the same idea. Put me in a box with minimal fanfare and stick it in the ground. Have a celebration of life if you want, but I really don't need to be there do I? It just sounds really boring.

I didn't even know this was an option. So what, they just plant you and grow more bodies?

Dunno if you're being serious or just having a goof (no big if so) but FYI for anyone curious. There's a few around the USA but the one in Tennessee is closest to me.


Basically they take your body and leave it some kind of circumstance (underwater, open field, etc) to monitor how it decays. Used for research and training.
 
I'm going to be burnt when I pop my clogs, and I want my ashes thrown from a helicopter above my home area. I don't like the idea of my family being tied to a specific place if they need to talk to me, so if they've got somewhere that they like to go then I'll be there.


Not that they can actually talk to me because, you know, I'm dead and all that but I know some people find comfort in it.
