So yet again we reach a new depth of WTFery in the US.

Re: WTF in America
Nobody deserves to have their remains stolen for who-knows-what-purpose, but this is another reason to go with cremation rather than burial.

Re: WTF in America
I think embalming bodies is weird, and placing them in mausoleums is even weirder. Not that using a concrete septic tank "grave liner" (which is commonly required in the US) isn't much better.

Maybe one of those things where your ashes can be used to plant a tree, I love trees, so it'd be nice to 'turn into' one when I snuff it. Either way, you're going back to the earth, so to speak, might as well do it with style, eh?

I want to be scattered somewhere really annoying. No preference, so long as it pisses people off.

If my shenanigans do one day catch-up with me, I'll have hopefully written some detailed instructions involving a spacex rocket & high earth orbit, to deal with whatever's left.

Re: WTF in America
A buddy of mine (mind you he was from Sheffield), died after a battle with cancer.
He wasn't religious and his wishes were for no service, no funeral and his body was to be donated to science.
I like his idea, but I'm having trouble getting the wife on board.
