    The party part is nice… It’s all the other stuff I’m not into. Not to mention that here it’s very expensive and often a burden on the family. I gotta make a will and request no funeral at all. Have a party if you want and talk about all the dumb bullshit I did and said and laugh 😂

      The high price is very much an exploitation of people’s grief for profit. Using their emotional connection to argue that they “should” pay a lot. It sucks real bad.

      My mother, as she grows older, is thinking about her passing and planning for it. Nothings wrong, she’s just a planner.

      She is looking into donating her corpse to science.

      Med students need cadavers to practice on, grisly, but better than being a human guinea pig for some Doc’s first attempt at surgical intervention.

      Or, there was a story that made rounds about a guys mother whose body was used in testing explosives by the military. If I get a choice I want that option, since apparently funeral pyres are illegal these days.
