fuck thousands for a coffin. or hundreds for an urn. can i legally be burried in butcher paper?

can i donate my body to science and skip burrial all together?

i want my final action to be a big middle finger to the funeral industry picking on people in their weakest moments.

Where I live the cheapest is to donate your body to science but it depends entirely on if the local university needs bodies or has storage capacity at the moment of death.

    The problem is the solution: just die when there's capacity 👍

  • a MD and I had an arrangement where he'd get my body in the event of my passing so he could take me apart and try to figure out what the fuck went wrong, but he retired a decade ago (i was optimistically expected to have another 5 years in the early 2000s). I'm pretty sure I'm too mutilated for a normal med school to want.
