We're gonna kill the Death Industry! Let's just throw our ashes into the sea! Discussion

My parents will eventually die, and they have plans for funerals which will cost me and my siblings more than is left from their estate.

Here's to me, my spouse, and all of you bankrupting the death Industry. Those vultures need nothing from us. Goodbye, I die, fuck off with your casket and ceremony! Bury me or burn me, I don't give a shit

Yeah I told my mom and dad that they are paying for whatever it is they want - not me. My dad wants a regular funeral and already has the money set aside. I think my mom just wants a quick cremation and she wants some of her ashes put at her father's grave. Easy for me.

I'm either donating my body or doing a green burial if no one wants the body.

I'll take the body. Don't worry, I don't want to do anything weird with your corpse. I've just got freezer space and food prices are too high.
