I joked about having a Viking funeral recently. But it actually got me curious about if other really think what happens to their body after they died. Feel free to joke or be serious. My wife always said I belong to her to do with as she please when I'm alive, even in death she'll do as she please with my remains. If she wants me in a jar on the fire place, that's where I'll be.
For the most part I honestly don't care. I'm dead. The whole funeral concept is meant for the people that are left behind, its to help them heal.
But personally, I want my ashes scatter into the ocean. No grave markers or anything. I don't need or want people visiting me on weekends or holidays, go enjoy your life.
Recently I'm actually intrigued by natural burial. Like they don't embalm your body so it decomposed a lot faster. I'm ok with that compromise only if its not at a graveyard. Plots of land are so freaking expensive, and you know sooner or later its going to be sold to a home developer to bulldozed!!! So if laws allow it, I'm fine with being placed all natural with a few of my favorite things in my backyard and a tree planted on top of me. My remains will provide nutrients to the tree and family will have some place that remind them of me. Maybe someday thousand of years from now I'll be discovered and put in a museum, fine by me.
Anyone else want to be a smart ass or offer their serious view?
Heard you can have your ashes rocketed into space too now a days.
