Ha! After a particulary vitriolic letter from the second wife where she stated the intent to dance on the first wife’s grave, my friend - the first wife - has written into her will that “a suitable musical accompaniment should be provided at her (the first wifes) funeral for those desirous of dancing”.

I did a thread not too long ago on Green Funerals, a chemical process that allows you to pour your loved one down the drain.
Cremation seems such a waste of energy - can’t they make a slightly bigger reef ball and just fold me up into it? - it would give the crabs something to eat.
If they’d done that to you some years back, there might have been a couple of guys who came down and saw your corpse. Only for about 20 minutes or so.
I think the FAQ gives it away. 
Full fathom five, thy father lies
Of his bones are coral made
Those are pearls that were his eyes
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
into something rich and strange
sorry, couldn’t pass up an opportunity to quote this little bit from The Tempest
Bravo. I’m surprised they don’t have it on their website!
Ooh! That was awesome, thanks. 
Is it bad that this gave me a picture of your ashes raining down onto your unsuspecting friends?
And is it bad that image makes me smile as I imagine the looks on my friends’ faces if I did that to them? 
Ive told My wife bury me standing up put an acorn on my head im oak tree fertizer
fertilizer
doh
Chopped into odd sized chunks, placed in zip lock bags, and sent to addresses chosen randomly from random metropolitan phone books.
I bet this is illegal in several ways. But what will I care? Just gotta find someone crazy enough to do it for me.
That is never going to happen.
Fromhere, the Nautilus product weighs between 1200 and 1500 pounds, which assuming the upper limit and rounding slightly gives about 680kg. Assuming it’s made of concrete (density = 2400kg/m3) then we have a volume of about 0.283m3.
Fromhere, we get the volume and area of the worlds oceans.
Area ~ 361 x 10^3km2 = 361 X 10^9m2.
Using archimedes principle the volume of the reef ball will displace a similar volume of water.
So 0.283/area of worlds oceans gives increase in depth per unit reef ball.
= 7.839 x10^-13m.
So even if everyone currently (~6.5billion) alive had one the mean ocean level would only rise by about 5.096 x10^-3m.
Nothing much to worry about. Plus reefs would have a positve effect on coastal erosion.
Need to get your snerk-detector checked Walker.
A full Viking funeral!
(Actually, the diamonds thing sounds kind of neat. Maybe I could get a whole necklace out of me–now that’d be a keepsake.)
I think that’s neat, too, except I tell my husband that that’s what I’m going to do with his remains if he goes first. Then I’ll have the diamonds set into a ring that I wear, and terrorize our grandchildren with it.
“Hi kids! Come here and let me give you a big hug. Now, here, give grampa a kiss!”
He doesn’t think this is funny at all.
I always thought the ol’ “Viking funeral” would be the way to go…body on top of a funeral pyre set on a raft, lit up and sailed out to sea…
probably illegal in most counties though…
Frankly, I really don’t care what anyone does with my body after I die, because I won’t be using it at that point. I’ve told **Rhiannon8404 **that she should try to sell me to a medical school for research purposes, then she can use the funds to pay for my wake…
Ok, I just looked at the Compacted Dignity site…it’s a joke, right? right?
I mean, that head… and then this quote (bolding mine):
ETA: Ok, ok, definitely a joke. (man, I feel silly. :p)
I don’t think I’d want to be a reef, all lonely down in the ocean. I wonder if they could make me into a driveway or a sidewalk? A retaining wall?
Eternal Reef Balls are People!!!
