Turn yourself into a tree!

[Alaric I]

The Bios Biodegradable Urn comes with a seed inside.  All your family has to do is plant the urn.  If everything goes right, you will start to grow a tree right from your ashes.  You even get to pick the type of tree you will be.  Seems like a cool idea.

I am assuming this is if you are cremated? Because the cremation process is very enviromentally damaging, kinda ruins the point.

My favorite tree is the Ash because you can make shit out of it, like bows and bats. Ash out of ashes. Me likey.

It can be, but they found that Pine trees can absorb the gases released by the process.

I want to be buried with high explosives in the desert so that i may spread myself across some acres and nurture plants. Or else that viking thingy in the Snake River in Idaho.

I have my heart set on a funeral pyre.  Zero funeral expenses.  The family goes and gets me, tosses me on the back of a truck, takes me to the farm, tosses me on the pile, lights the fire and drinks some beer.  It doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever that dying costs so damned much.  No hookers, no blackjack, nothing to justify the expense.

I don't think that's legal though.  If they did do it, they could get charged with defacing human remains.

I will donate my body to science, as the Klingons say, "is an empty shell".

I'll go with a tree. If not that, I don't give a fuck, cause I'll be dead.

Not here it isn't.  (you have to live in the area though to be eligible to do it)

I definitely wanna go out with a funeral pyre style cremation.  The idea of being shoved in an oven scares me,  too claustrophobic for my tastes. (yea yea, i know its stupid to care about that shit because your dead and all.  But what are you gonna do about it?  I'll already be dead :P )

As for the actual deed itself, I'm getting wrapped in a bear skin rug, having a pound of good hash sprinkled all over me and then have my body covered in morning glory and poinsettia flowers.  Use equal parts cherry, pomegranate, pine and cypress wood as kindling, and then throw in my bonsai to boot.  To top it all off, everyone attending must bring a bottle of ever clear, take a swig (Mormon family members in attendance can have my brother substitute for them on that) then dump the rest over me.  Someone then lights up a Cowboy Killer, takes one long drag, then flicks it in and sets the whole thing up.

Then half the ash and use it to go and plant me as a Pinus longaeva on some lonely desert mountain top.  Use the other half of the ash to grow a bonsai of the same and have them put here.

Sweet!, I like the idea of being able to bring back life when I'm gone.
