I'll take the fire, thank you.
Then they can flush me down the toilet.

I'm guessing that based upon my present life expectancy and the current direction our civilization is heading in, a cardboard box to cover my empty husk while the rats consume it is going to be pretty classy.
As for the municipal sewer taking your sludge, it's no different than the sludge you have been flushing down the toilet your whole life, just a bigger dump.

No way are my remains being liquified and flushed down sewers, Cremation for me thank you.

When you are dead, you're dead. Tell yourself you are lying in state surrounded by flowers until the whole United States has had the chance to mourn your untimely passing.

Because that is REALLY what is going to happen, and you won't know the difference, will you?

Why is aquamation sent to the sewer ignominious? You're dead, and you didn't add to the CO2 in the atmosphere by cremation. I want to be aquimated, but there are no facilities within 200 miles.

First time I heard of such thing. Well, when I'm dead I won't care at all. It seems to me it's better being done the old fashioned way.

I used to joke with people that if I ever found out I was terminal I would pick someone I didn't like and frame them for my murder.
Then I read about someone trying and failing exactly that in South America somewhere.
It doesn't seem so clever now. Ha, ha.

As for my remains... Funerals are for the living. I'm pretty sure I won't care one way or another. People can do whatever they want.

Edit

I also used to think about donating my body for transplant or science but these days I doubt anyone would be interested. I even have a 'lifetime deferment' so they won't even take my blood or platelets any more.

Can’t be any shittier than the world I’m in now……slush me baby!?!

I think about death quite a lot actually. At least once a week. Not necessarily in a morbid way nor in a suicidal way.

Death doesn't scare me but it does make me sad. Chances are that I will not get a chance to say good-bye to many people. There are a few people I only know online who will likely never know why I disappeared.

Also, death makes me sad simply for the loss. Each person's mind is unique with their lifetime of memories, dreams, ideas, and thoughts... which are all completely erased forever when they die. That seems so unfair to me.

The loss of death was probably one of the very few things that made me keep some small amount of faith in religion years ago. The idea that once death happens we are gone bothers me. Every day in the world countless people die and their deaths go completely unnoticed as if they never really mattered. There's no afterlife so once they're gone they're gone completely. Somehow that doesn't seem fair.

I just stumbled upon your post, and I totally get where you're coming from. Dealing with death is never easy, and it's natural to think about our own funerals and final resting places. Water cremation does sound intriguing, but the idea of being flushed down the drain doesn't sit well with me, either. I'd prefer something more meaningful.
Recently, I was browsing online and came across Monuments for Green Hill Memorial Gardens. They offer beautiful options for memorializing loved ones and could be a perfect final resting place. It's comforting to know there are alternatives that align with our wishes and provide a dignified farewell. Wishing you all the best as you navigate these tough decisions.

Nope. It seems like that would cause issues with the water table eventually.

My late partner signed up for the willed body program and her body went to the local University for medical research. Later she was cremated and the ashes could have gone into a common ground but I requested them to be returned to me. I signed up for the same program. No muss no fuss.
