My dream is to die with absolutely nothing but massive bank debt. I have no living relatives, so there is no one to get the money from. I mean, “Hello Mr. Twat you have terminal cancer” next stop is the bank to take out the biggest loan my excellent credit will let me get. Tom Selleck the house go to Vegas bet it all on black until it’s gone return home and burn the house down around me fuck the bank…a boy can dream lol
Legally give a homeless person ownership of the house
That’s a better, less petty idea but the bank would just take it from them.
I’d totally do this if I had no family
Having a family is a solvable problem.
I mean I could get rid of them I suppose, but others put up with worse.
Those targeted ads aren’t messing around
Edit: Personally I’ve already got an urn picked out for me. A probably too large coffee can of my favorite coffee brand.
I’d prefer it not get used for my ashes for at least a few more decades though.
Is there a Ralphs nearby?
I don’t care what happens to my corpse, because I’ll be dead then. Never understood, why people still care nowadays, religion I guess.
Ritual and ceremony are deeply important aspects of the human experience. What cultures do with their dead is way, way up there with foodways and adornment when it comes to cultural significance.
The increasingly common view in the West that elaborate death rites are unimportant is really new when compared to the rest of human history. It’s probably a postmodern thing? If I’m right about that, that would mean the less reverential attitude towards traditional deatg ceremony is like 110ish years old.
Compared to the 200,000-300,000 years Homo Sapiens have been around (or 45,000 years ago if we only want to discuss the length of time that Northern European-style deathways have most likely been practiced), 100 years isn’t a lot to change that cultural inertia.
Sorry, I know this is a Wendy’s. Just a frosty, thanks.
You can have the ceremony without being ripped off for thousands of dollars on a box nobody will ever see again
Why the fuck have you been downvoted, that’s just a reasonable comment.
May I also point out, your funeral isn’t for you. You might not care what happens to your body but your close ones do. A funeral is a place for them to find closure, to grief and mourn your loss. The mere fact that people who cannot retrieve their lost one’s body feel awfully about it and still tend to create empty graves should show how much this is a very old desire of importance. The way we perform these death rituals can change and maybe it is not about how a body is being get rid off per se, and surely we could change this. That we as a species are aware of what death means and have found ways to cope with it (i.e. rituals as a coping way to deal with the knowledge) is incredible.
Whenever people say something along these lines of “just throw me in the trash” it feels to me like they didn’t get that point. It’s not about you. It’s about everyone else.
When I’m dead just throw me in the trash
Paying for it after you need it seems like a bad business plan tbh.
Cremation. Tubes for ashes. Instructions to friends and family where to toss me and maybe plant a tree.
The final yeeeeeeet
Sky burial. Just chop me up and feed me to the vultures
Sky burial. Throw me out of an airplane.
Death will be a subscription
It is, Grave plots are temporary.
Reddit is desperate for ads.
Just take that $22 per month and invest it instead. You’d come out on top
What can you invest with $22 per month (or $264 per year) that’s actually turned a noticable profit? Even at 10% return you’d be looking at $26.4 gain per year.
That is essentially what this company is doing. They are investing your money until you die
Its a payment plan to buy to casket. You $20 a month for $60 months.
More Uranus guy here myself, thanks
Just throw me in the trash.
It’s actually something good to invest in. My wife’s grandmother did it in like the 80s, and all the family had to do was pick out sandwiches for the wake.
Laughs in cremation
You can prepay for that too, especially if you plan on having a service.
My dad really wasnt much of a dad, when my grandmother died and he got left a little money we had a pretty frank conversation “I never expected you to leave me a cent, because I never expected you to have one. So do me a favor, prepay your funeral with some of this money then piss the rest up the wall for all I care. Just dont stick me with a bill when you go.”
Caskets really need some design updates. They look so depressing.
Bury me in this:
Hmm why aren’t RGB coffins a legit thing? These casket makers need to get with the times and understand their audience lol
You never see these meme quality ads with a € or £ price… its always $
