Although it's rather dubious historically, I'd prefer (if resources were available) this:View attachment 287495
This was the nearest I could manage at short notice.

I want the cheapest and the one that will not fill my body with chemicals. Preventing the worms and trees from eating my corpse is wrong. Bodies are worthless after the person dies. I hate people's fetishes that makes them spend thousands of dollars on a corpse. How hard is it to dig a hole and put the body in and fill it up!? But funerals are big business now, and human rituals and emotions are easy to prey on. People are so narcissistic that even in their death they're vane. Just my opinion. :/ No offense to anyone. You do you.I hope others do not find this thread too morbid, but I am curious how other posters feel about their method of being laid to rest? Do you want a traditional burial in a casket or do you prefer cremation? Ashes scattered in the forest? Or something more unique like donating your body to science?
As for me I am one who is very squeamish about death. I abhor the idea of my body decomposing in a dark coffin buried six feet underground. I'd prefer my body cremated as soon as possible. I wouldn't mind burying the cremated remains in the ground with a tombstone on top. That is what my grandfather did. I remember at his funeral being shocked when I saw a little cube instead of a large coffin. I thought they somehow stuff his entire body in that little box. My eyes were wide open when I first saw it and publicly said aloud "how'd they fit him in there?" I was like eight and everyone and the funeral starting erupting in laughter.
Apparently he had the same disgust for the decomposing process as I do. His was is the most appealing for me. My father expressed the same wishes. Although I can respect people who donate their bodies to science, I just cannot stomach the idea for myself. I do not want my loved ones to see my dead body on display either. I want their last memories of me to be as of an animated body, not a lifeless corpse.

The bottom of a mass grave would suit me just fine.
