Stake me out for the ravens. Let them consume my flesh and return me to the food chain.

Edit: okay, that's a weird snipe.

The only approved funerals are as follows:

1. Cremation by pyre fueled by locally sourced fallen branches and then raked into a garden
2. Rowed into the open sea by a family member and thrown overboard
3. Acid house rave where your ashes are mixed and pressed into ecstasy tabs for 400 of your closest friends

Just treat my corpse like a car battery, no matter what those dicks at the funeral home say.

I don't have 400 friends who would take e. I do have 4 friends who could be convinced to take 100 each...

It's closest as in physical proximity, because the rave house only really fits 100 but we're really determined, and if they weren't friends nds yet, they're about to be very closely acquainted.

Realtalk, the funeral industry is ghoulish in the most literal way possible and should be abolished in its entirety. It's bad enough living takes every penny we have, why should dying be so expensive?

Every family member who's died in my lifetime has been cremated for just this reason. It's cheaper, and less wasteful, and also they're dead and they don't care. Funerals are for the living.

The most elaborate burial in the family is my paternal grandparents, whose ashes are sharing a compartment in a decorative wall in the scenic town they lived in and raised their family in for fifty years.

We call it their mailbox. It's not the "throw my body into the lion enclosure at the zoo" burial my granddad wanted, but we do what we can.

Unfortunately, that kinda sucks too. Donated bodies are pretty much totally unregulated. It's surprisingly likely some company's going to cut up your body and sell the parts at a massive profit to whoever wants them, regardless of what you specified. Don't want your body used for explosives testing by the military? Tough luck.

A coworker died late last year and we rolled up to the calling hours at the funeral parlor and it was packed, the parking lot was full and we could barely find a spot.

Turns out there were three different services happening that night.

Yes...? Bigger funeral parlors can and do accommodate far more services than that at any given time.

I'm from the rear end end of nowhere and have only seen single service funeral parlors. But it just felt super awkward to walk in and have a guy wearing a suit go "which service are you here for?" and then walking past these crowded rooms to this nearly empty one.

This was depressing as hell, but also interesting. I assumed keeping the body whole was rare, and I'm cool with being cut up into as many pieces as needed if it helps more people. Less cool with middlemen making money by renting out (wtf) my limbs.

Odds are your body will be subject to military science experiments, which means they blow it up in creative ways in order to either a) build better armor or b) build better explosives.

If my corpse isn't gonna be used to create at least one monsterous abomination that gets blown up by a secret lab's self-destruct mechanism, then what's even the point of dying?

The woman is in lingerie but that dude is either wearing a swimsuit or weird underwear. Even if it's not all wrong, advertising a swimsuit during a global pandemic is at least a little dumb.

Y'all also do realize there are these wild inventions called "pools", many of which are safely, socially-distanced in people's own backyards?

I don't even have a pool, but as I type this, my niece is putting on her bathing suit because she's gonna go run through the lawn sprinkler.

...wait, I'm trying to talk to goons, for whom "going outside" is foreign concept. Silly me!

I think the point is, it's a weird holiday to be advertising lingerie/swimwear for. It's supposed to be a time of spiritual discipline and reflection.

Not saying that all (or most) people celebrate it like that, but it's like advertising a Lent sale or something. Eid would be the real party time.

Well that's what I thought too, but then some people went on this whole "why would you advertise beachwear during an epidemic" tangent, which was just baffling.

I'm gonna go run through the sprinkler too, I need to get off the internet.
