Liquefying and composting the dead...

[AJ]

Kind of like a NJ Route 287 Roadkill deer sky burial

[ducatiz]

i saw something about this a while back on tv. seems pretty cool, but must be a bit odd for the family.
guess tha'ts why the family doens't stick around eh?

its nauseating.  i can imagine it is "environmentally friendly" but (i understand that) the historical reason for doing it is that the soil in Tibet is so rocky, they can't easily bury people.

Well I realize it matters very little after the fact

but from a personal vanity perspective I would hate to think my mortal remains

were rendered into something like buzzard shit

so you should get yourself rendered into a diamond and leave yourself to your ex wife....imagine it...she'll want the diamond...and to wear and show it off....but she'll have to deal with you on her finger!

Since I've taken to telling door-to-door missionaries of all flavors that I'm a Zoroastrian (mostly for the wonderful, befuddled look that crosses their faces), I've started to think that the whole sky burial thing (though the Zoroastrians did it in a constructed "Tower of Silence") makes more and more sense. Not that I have anything against worms, but I can't say I'd mind getting turned for a little while into muscles, bones, feathers, energy & excrement that get to ride on thermals and survey the world below from thousands of feet in the air.

That said, I've told those who care that my preference is cremation, and then let my ashes take one last trip down the Deschutes River.

Call me old fashioned and wasteful but I want a grave marker just like my ancestors....

maybe an oak tree using me for fertilizer

so someday years from now some descendent

can do what I did and track down the marker look at it and say

What in the name of make the beast with two backs-all were you thinking?

Cremation - Deschutes River

Sky Burial - poop chute river

Is it true that you have a Sky Burial stipulation in your will to be placed

in the open, on the roof of your favorite IKEA building

on one of their prize platform bed frames

and be fed to the pigeons?

[ducatiz]

LOL

no, i am going to be reprocessed into women's underwear.

oh come on you'd love it tucked away up there....

you could count the number of rings and tell how old they were

You, sir, are a hilariously evil sonofapregnant dog.
