I'm not planning on a burial, but those biodegradable cardboard coffins look pretty awesome, and they're (comparatively) cheap as fuck too.
My plan is to get cremated - but it would be great to either sneak in some petrol into the casket, or pay the funeral directors to go for a two minute walk while someone packs my casket with fireworks or other low-explosive compounds.
At best, it'll put on one last show - and at worst it'll give the crematorium staff member a hell of a shock.
If you want to biodegrade, some places now have funeral service companies that will compost you into mulch. Your remains can safely fertilize your favorite garden, park, or forest.
Donate your body to the military so that they can do bomb testing on it
How the body of an Arizona great-grandmother ended up as part of a U.S. Army blast test
Donate your body to medical research instead of to people trying to murder people more efficiently.
I agree and in the weird story that linked above, that is exactly what the family of the grandmother thought they were doing. They wanted to donate their grandmother's body for research on dementia but instead the company they used took the body and sent it to the military for use in their bomb testing. The family would have never known without the work of the journalists who researched it all.
Oh holy shit that's horrific! Thanks... I didn't click the link. Sorry.
Have the casket burst into multicolored flames mid service, maybe have something make demonic screams or have one of those weird fireworks that expands into twisting tentacles as it burns
