    People are so toxic that they want to be toxic after they die too.

    I just want to be dumped off at the landfill or ground up and used for fertilizer after giving up any useful organs.

      Had this conversation recently when my wife died. She wanted to be cremated with no embalming but wanted a visitation. In the US you have to be embalmed to have a visitation. No amount of pleading to just put her in an ice bath would work sadly.

        You can’t have a visitation with someone who has been cremated? Are you positive thats not a state specific thing?

        Maybe there is something else you can call it? It just surprises me because my grandmother and an uncle where both cremated, and we had services. I thought they were visitations.

          I think they meant she wanted her body to be seen before cremation, and the funeral home wouldn’t do that without embalming her.

            because the funereal business is a sham.

            can’t have y without x and if you get x you need z. we’ve conveniently packaged it together in our x-z package for a low cost of $6999. isn’t this what the dearly departed would want from you? don’t they deserve the best??

            and that’s why I’m a complete fucking asshole. I don’t deserve the best. I deserve to rot in a culvert on the outskirts of the airport.
