This whole 'green' thing is getting a little ridiculous

I don't really mind this... I'd actually be interesting in doing it... but it's still weird.

Always seemed weird to me the amount of money and materials we use to preserve our rotting corpses.

 

[JulesMaximus]

:thumbsup: That's pretty cool actually.

Still, I'm leaning toward cremation personally.

 

[IronWing]

Sky burials are even greener and time honored to boot. LifeGem is still my preference.

 

[Nitemare]

Going to be cremated

I wonder how 'green' my giant monument will be. I expect it to rival the pyramids in greatness, so probably...not very green at all.

We can paint it green for you.

I'm gonna need an eternal flame...a huge one that uses natural gas as well as light, sweet crude.

Bury me a pine box and let me rot. I won't care, and it'll save my family from paying the exorbitant costs of traditional funeral preparation and burial, which are criminal. I'm not sure how funeral home workers can sleep well at night knowing they gouge grieving relatives with funeral costs -- it's unconscionable to me. Ever meet a poor funeral home director? Nope!

I want to have my ashes put in a rocket and shot into the sun.

with lead paint

 

[Deeko]

hahah I was gonna say, ONLY if the paint is lead-based.

 

[KeithTalent]

Meh, just throw me on a fire, that's good enough and cheaper for my family.

Cremation ftw.

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

Just ask someone for the box their fridge came in. that's good enough for me. Douse me in gas and light me up. You can save my ashes and use them for traction when the driveway is covered in ice.

 

[AndrewR]

How about a wood chipper? Mulch, anyone?

 

[imported_Imp]

I wouldn't mind that actually. Use to want a coffin, but what's the point. If I'm dead, throw me in a hole and be done with it.

"Prop me up beside the jukebox when I die."

 

[Vonkhan]

$100 for a coffin? Sounds like a good deal compared to the usual cut-throat prices

Soylent is even Greener -- recycling FTW!


Since that's probably not legal, I guess I'll settle for cremation.

How about we just shoot you into the sun? It'll have the same after effects.

Indeed. It seems a bit pointless. It's not like relatives are going to periodically dig you up and look at you again.

Turn me into a ventriloquist dummy when I die. I really won't care one way or another what's done to the corpse. And it'd be great fun for kids everywhere!

Biodegradable coffins are nothing new. Cardboard coffins have existed for awhile now.

Of course, with the bodies being used for coffin production, there wouldn't be any need for the coffins then, would there?

20 lashes!
Do you get paid for each time you say "eco-theism" in some form?

 

[Epic Fail]

The eco friendly coffin needs to come from the other side of ocean, that will need no fuel.
