As an atheist what do you want done with your remains when you die?
I want to be fed to something or to be buried in a simple coffin with an oak or elm tree planted over me.
I want to be cremated, put in my girl friends douche, and get in there one final time.
Charming.
Are we still in the douche age?
@Ellatynemouth Just a silly, humorous response. I am assuming we are all adults here.
@Ellatynemouth Actually, I have willed my body to a teaching medical hospital. What they do with it is entirely their discretion.
@DarwinistOne I never was.
My first choice would be to have my remains donated to science and let them use whatever the heck they want to. I'm dead, what do I care.
Second would for me to be cremated and scattered over various places that I really like. Maybe also pick a nice spot and plant a tree where my ashes are mixed with dirt used in planting the tree.
I don't really get the point of graveyards. We don't need to bury our dead. That just seems like a waste of space.
I want to be composted.
This particular facility looks like what I imagined the Dying Hospital to look like in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. That sealed the deal. ?
I would like to do this as well! I would like to have a memorial sculpture in a cemetery.
Assuming I'd be relatively healthy meat, it would be nice to be laid out on the African Plains, and get recycled into all those wonderful animals (assuming they wouldn't be extinct !). But I l know that's likely not allowed.
So next choice is being part of the Body Farm, to help catch bad guys ! That could work.
They do that in some parts of India, lay you out on the mountain for the eagles (and vultures).
Cremated and then my ashes spread in either a vineyard or Gobeklitepe. I can not fathom the thought of being buried in a box filled with chemicals. What a stupid concept.
I'm thinking an old fridge box and a trip to the landfill.
Eww! I hope I'm not the one who finds your grisly remains!
@smoyle Another good reason to avoid dumpster diving or rummaging around the landfill site.
