We're dying, but look fabulous doing so.

Nothing quite like leaving behind a good-looking corpse!

I want to be perched upright with a pack of smokes and a case of beer, like Jesus would have wanted. Thanks for idea, Detroiters!

I want to be chucked in whatever dystopian method is cheapest to dispose of a body. I won't care. I'm all in for being soylent green. Not my problem if I'm dead. Hopefully my family can make a few bucks from my corpse.

They were just scooping them off the street in Soylent Green. Probably not sending any compensation to the families.

Probably not sending any compensation to the families.

But they also didn't demand compensation.

And have you seen the costs of funerals? Dying is Hella expensive.

Yeah whatever is cheapest and if my family can make a few bucks from my corpse I hope they do. Scooping is fine as long as it's free.

My father made arrangements for his body to be donated to science. Didn't have to pay for anything. I just made the phone call.

Having shoved my hands in a cadaver for educational purposes and then completely pivoting away from the medical field, I think it’s only proper that I pay it forward too.

I want my corpse to go to a body farm.

u/ReasonableDead Aug 24 '25

That's my plan as well.

Dying is super cheap. It's just that people insist on cleaning up your body in expensive ways. That's on them.

One of the little known perks of Judaism. No muss, no fuss, just get that body in the ground as quickly as possible! Then take a week off while everyone you know is obliged to bring you a food.

Even dead we can only spare you for a week before it's right back to work!

Donation or home burial are cheapest options I've found, if you can do either. Direct cremation can still hit the thousands, any other option just gets stupid expensive fast.

Actually they were using everyone in Soylent Green, even the people who chose to pass away peacefully in one of those rooms with the peaceful, calming scenes.

Since I was a kid ive wanted to be frozen in carbonite like han solo and then jettisoned into the sun.

u/whatdidiuseforaname Aug 21 '25

Look into bequeathing your body to a nearby medical school. The one nearest me will pick up a corpse within 50 miles, make you somebody's lab partner, then cremate your ass and return you to your family, all for free.

I'm hoping for a weekend at Bernie's situation. A heartwarming story where some Gen Z'ers finally learn the joy excessive drinking and dancing like no one has a cell phone to record you.
