No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

If I can have anything, I want to explode into a bunch of butterflies.
If only real options are available, I am hoping composting is legal by then. Just be turned back into dirt and plants.
Literally just throw me in a ditch idgaf as long as my body is allowed to naturally decay and recycle the energy back into the ecosystem.
Stop locking bodies in boxes that take decades to decay.
Whatever is cheapest/easiest for my family.
First, don't spend money on it. That is the most important. Second, if possible make something useful of my body, like donating to science. I listened to a podcast about this "cemetery" that is a research facility and they let the bodies decompose in a variety of situations to study the process. Third, don't do any funeral or rituals and that includes keeping a cemetery lapid or stuff like that.
One exception is if someone wants to do something really funny and weird, like the guy that wanted his skull preserved and the rest made into two diamonds that would be fitted to the skull and to be kept like in the living room to judge everyone or something.
I want my nutrients returned to the earth.
That means that green burial, human composting, burial at sea, and aquamation are all options.
I absolutely do not want cremation. It’s an energy intensive process that also renders the deceased’s accumulated nutrients unavailable to other organisms.
This thread also reminds me that I need to revoke the organ donor status from my driver’s license. As much as I like / appreciate the concept, a viable organ donation requires dying in a hospital. I would prefer to pass outdoors in a natural setting that I feel connected to or, at worst, in my own home.

Whatever my wife feels like, assuming she's the one to survive me. I don't hold any religious beliefs demanding me to do something specific with my body, so I'll leave it to her to decide.
Should she be passing before me, I'd just want to be cremated and scattered somewhere in the most cost efficient way to not affect anyone's finances.
Reminder to leave instructions for your loved ones, regardless of your age or health. One of the hardest decisions your family will go through is trying to guess what you'd want.
I've asked my wife for a closed coffin just because I think the open ones are weird as f-. Other then that I'm going to be dead so it won't matter.
There’s still some active tar pits. I’m surprised nobody is intentionally trying to become a fossil. It would be cool to do some weird shit to mess with the aliens who find your fossil in 10,000 years or so.
Any parts that can be used to improve a human life should be used that way. Then any parts that can be used to improve animal/plant life should be used that way. Then the rest should be disposed of in the manner that consumes the fewest resources.
But, I'll be gone; you guys can do whatever with it; I won't care.
I want to be cremated. I want my wife to keep the ashes for as long as she wants and then eventually spread them so my atoms can return to the earth
Used as a prop for a Halloween haunted house.
Thrown in a ditch
When I read the question, I immediately heard Frank Reynolds saying "when I'm dead, just throw me in the trash". Lol
I want my body donated to a body farm.
Vengeful spirit, for sure.
I had planned on (organ donation first of course, but then) cremation, mostly to make my leftover remains easier and cheaper to deal with. Lately I've heard about rapid-composting, which is supposed to be more environmental. So that might be good. But it might be more expensive, in which case back to the plan.

Donate all my usable organs, plant a fruit tree in the empty chest, preferably in the yard of my family home.

I don't really care, not planning on dying within the next few decades. Maybe by then, we'll already be in space, and whoever has to make that decision can just push my body out of the air lock.
You can never truly be prepared for death, natural death just like accidental death can happen at anytime in any place with out you knowing until it’s too late.

Not my problem... Whatever my SO/surviving descendants want is good by me.
We're gonna make you into a real horse chandelier then.
Excellent! Can't wait to find out what one looks like....
No.... Wait.... :)
Trebuchet my bloated corpse into Dick Cheney's living room
catfood
Easy, just die near your cat(s) and the same day they’ll chomp.
A dog waits a little while, iirc. They lick your face, then nip, and if you don’t respond eventually chomp too.
they would both get thirsty pretty soon if nobody came to rescue them from the dead body apartment
Shoot me out of a cannon
Feed me to the mushrooms.
I'd like my corpse to be used to frame someone for murder. Obviously I can't name names, because that would undermine the plot, but I trust my loved ones to frame up someone who has it coming.
Sky Burial!!!
