Planning my funeral
#23
RE: Planning my funeral
One type of funeral I would consider but I'm pretty sure it's not allowed in the US. It's called a Sky Burial. Looks like I can't provide a link since i"m a new member. Google "Sky Burial".

From Wikipedia: Sky burial (Tibetan: Wylie: bya gtor, lit. "bird-scattered"[1]) is a funeral practice in which a human corpse is placed on a mountaintop to decompose while exposing to the elements or to be eaten by scavenging animals, especially birds of prey.

I kind of like that my body would directly feed animals.

The type of funeral would be to have my body cremated and the ashes mixed in with gun powder. That gun powder would be used to make one fireworks shell. Have family & friend gather where that shell will be fired. After a brief ceremony the shell would be shot off. You literally go out with a bang then your friend and family can go party. I vaguely remember there's a guy in Pennsylvanian that makes this kind of shell.
Yes. Yes. Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life. Probably have... very sad death. But... at least there is Symmetry.
