I say die. I mean all the stuff afterwards, burial ETC.

Having a family discussion earlier and one member of the family is a hardened atheist, and believes having a religious burial/cremation is hypocritical. He also believes spending money on someone dead is a waste.

I’m trying not get too much into the showing due respect to the recently passed away discussion.

After you die, if you wanted to just be put in a hole on your own land, with no ceremony, spending no money, is this possible?
If not, what is the nearest you can get to it?

I reckon being buried by the serial killer who bludgeoned you to a pulp is pretty cheap.

Donate yourself to a medical research place or a hospital. They may well be glad of the body for research or training or even organ transplant. I presume they will take care of the final disposal. Shouldn't cost you or your estate or family anything. I presume they offer a collection service, but not sure how that bit works.

Our wheelie bins go straight to the incinerator, but you'd need to saw off the legs...

Cut them up, cook them and sell as a meat dish. Taking away your X's you will be left with some profit. Human meat apparently tastes like pork. So should be tasty.

I heard of a family that made a cheap coffin, stuck the deceased in it, and then stuck the whole lot in the back of an estate car but they did have to buy a plot in a grave yard. I think it ended up being around a couple of hundred quid.

Do not die outside the administrative area in which you'd rather be buried or cremated in.

e.g. Bromley Council charges just shy of 12k for burial of persons living outside of the borough. Half of that is for the plot, the rest for the burial itself. This is outside of any charges made by the funeral directors etc.

Viking Burial, thats what I want.

Stick me in a dingy, set fire to it and push me out to sea.

Or do something were your body is completely destroyed - you could jump in a vat of acid. Then there would be nothing to bury.

Full stop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A full stop or period (sometimes stop, full point, or dot), is the punctuation mark commonly placed at the end of several different types of sentences in English and many other languages.

A full stop consists of a small dot placed at the end of a line of text, such as at the end of this sentence.
