Human Composting…

They have options of using your ashes to make fish structure.

I would prefer this over being shot up with formaldehyde and have make-up put on me and then put in a coffin and buried. I don't care much for needles and tend to get claustrophobic. The whole funeral thing baffles me. Just let everyone know I croaked and carry on. No new to put on a suit and attend a funeral.

Need to go to an Italian mob funeral.....the women are screaming, climbing in the casket....kissing the deceased.. ..was the strangest thing I have witnessed.

Reminds me of this one…..

The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia, a man answered his door to find two grim-faced Mounties. "We know it's late, sir, but we have some information about your wife," said one of the Mounties.
"Tell me! Did you find her!?" the husband shouted.
The Mounties looked at each other. One said, "We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?" Fearing the worst, the ashen husband said "Give me the bad news first."
The second Mountie said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found your wife's body in the bay."
"Oh my God!" exclaimed the husband.
Swallowing hard, he asked, "What's the good news?"
The Mountie continued, "When we pulled her up, she had 6 twenty-five pound snow crabs and 12 good-size lobsters clinging to her."
Stunned, the husband demanded, "If that's the good news, what's the great news???"
The Mountie answered, "We're gonna pull her up again tomorrow".

Did not know this was a thing but apparently it’s legal in 6 states now. I guess I’m more traditional and prefer to bury my loved ones in a Cemetery. Butif you want to bury Grandpa in the garden, you might have some great Tomatoes in a few years…or not.

Part of my family is from the midwest...and the older ones were all buried.. I don't think I've been to funeral for someone within our family in the last 15 years that they weren't cremated. We're all western us based. The norms are changing for sure, but I sure as shit don't want to be worm food lol.

Close family friend who was like an "uncle" essentially to us passed recently. His ashes were put into a glass floating ball...with some holes drilled into it to sink. I told my wife that is something I want to consider doing.

Here is a link for Recomposing from the company in Seattle that specializes in it.

Told my wife, when I go, do whatever she wants. I will be dead and not residing in that body anymore. Only thing I have ever told family is, if I die along a highway, DO NOT, put a cross there where it happened.

[Grumpy11]

No bleeping way I am fertilizing my garden with human compost. No.....freaking...way!

Me either.

Because you’re Jewish?

[btlsranger]

Havent been to a funeral or viewing for many years. Just not really a thing anymore.

My only sister in CA told me a few years ago that her family (husband and two grown kids) are signed up with a company that no matter how or where one of them passes they will dispatch the body and use it (donate it) to science research. They each carry a card so that whomever can call the number and its all taken care of. No funeral and no expense. Sounds wrong in itself and maybe even against christian belief, but after having to handle the affairs of my moms and dads and other relatives passing in the past few years I think its the thing to do. Creating a financial or logistical hardship on family is not something I want to do. I checked with the company and unfortunately their service is limited to only a few states. The wife and I are set on cremation with no funeral. I told her she could even skip the expense of cremation and take me to the train station if she wants

No, that is not it.

You can judge a society by how they care for their dead.

We already eat cadavers but we call it beef, pork, chicken, etc. The composting intrigues me, my other option is to have my family scatter my ashes off the dock of our Ontario cabin and let the sunnies get their revenge.
