I want a casket with a window in it to be used as a bar at my wake. Tequilla shots for everyone! Then I want to be cremated. ---

Harvest my organs…and then, using the powers of lightning & Mad Science, construct a monster to terrorize the villagers! ---

> [@janeslogin](#): > > I actually have it written into a statement of last wishes that my carcass is to be disposed of in the least expensive legal way. I will be dead. I don’t care. Just spend the least that the law will allow. That’s very cool 🙂 I hope to be buried unembalmed in a plain wood box but since I’m likely to live at least another few decades I doubt that will be possible / affordable. Soup ala Stranger in a Strange Land would be cool too 😉 ---

Do the lids lock? I’m not sure my aunt would like ashes all over her luggage after a trans-Atlantic flight. 😃 ---

Cheapest pine box, bury me intact in a Catholic cemetery or consecrated ground if that’s not available. I haven’t bought a plot yet though. ---

Take whatever parts of me you can use, then cremate me in the cheapest possible way. Do whatever you want with the ashes, but I’d kind of like to feed a tree. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/death-wishes/518700.md?page=2)
