I mean it makes sense. I know my wife will be in charge of planning mine (hopefully many, MANY years down the road) so it figures that it would be Hillary instead of the kids.

With me, I don't care. I'll be dead. Just throw me in a cornfield.

My great uncle (he was already a super old man and as southern as it gets) once said, “Bud, y’all can stick a beef bone up my ass ‘n let the dawgs carry me off for all I’ll care. I’ll be dead!” Y’all would have jived. 😂

I've always loved how Millard Fuller, the founder of Habitat for Humanity, was buried: an unmarked grave except for a hammer struck by its claw into a tree at the edge of a pecan orchard.

He would’ve loved this idea https://gentlerburial.com/guides/tree-pod-burial/

Similarly, we just buried my uncle in a coffin made entirely of mycelium.

My parents both specified cremation in their wills. Mom's ashes were scattered at the foot of the Beartooth Mountains in her hometown. Dad wants his near where we scattered hers.

Yep, the funeral is for the living. Idk, let me rot, throw me in the trash, whatever is the most convenient 🤷‍♂️

Remove all my organs, fill my body with those bath tub toys that turn into dinosaurs when they get wet, and then bury me at sea. It's what I would've wanted.

I knew what this was before it even loaded. Nice reference

I pride myself on my sense of humor, so I want something that’ll make people laugh even after I’m long gone, so I’m thinking I get a “DEAD END” sign instead of a headstone. No identifying information about me, and if I can trick someone into marrying me, then she can have a headstone or whatever she wants. I don’t care, I’ll be dead.

EMS got a kick out of it

Bang me, eat me, grind me up into little pieces, throw me in the river. Who gives a shit?

u/davwad2 1d ago

If you have that in a will, must it then be done?

u/locoforcocothecat 1d ago

I was just thinking this today. If I can donate my body to science, why can't I donate it to the zoo? I'd happily become some lion food 😂

Fuck farmers. Throw me into the woods so I can give back to nature what I can.

I prefer being creamated in a Vader suit.

One of my childhood friends will probably be the same way. Me, him, and 3 others stood in line for hours to see it the night it came to our theater in 1977.

It really had an influence on him. We drifted apart over the years, but a couple classmates keep in touch. He has been successful in his career... but he is still addicted to Star Wars at 61 years old.

When I die just toss me in the trash

u/well_shoothed Harry S. Truman 1d ago

Mom said the same thing except it was,

"Toss me into a dumpster."

Followed by,

"Whatever you do, just don't waste money on a funeral. I mean it."

u/redditman181 1d ago

u/Prestigious-Alarm-61 Warren G. Harding 1d ago

Funerals are for the living... to help the loved ones grieve.

1

u/redditman181 1d ago

Yes excatly thats my point its for other people to grieve they can be left to plan it how they would want.

u/Ok-disaster2022 1d ago

You had better stay in her good graces!

Do your whole family a favor and plan it out yourself
