I found an interesting tradition on the dot com how certain Buddist sects pay respect to their recently deceased. They butcher them and then feed them to vultures, since after all our bodies are just vessels and the soul itself has moved on (their belief). This seems to make more sense and is more economically more viable than stuffing someone in a $2k box and putting them 6ft deep. It seems religions dictates which way we can and cannot be buried, which doesn't make sense since we're dead and really have no final say in the matter. Thoughts?
I don't think the religions dictate that so much as funeral parlors, casket manufacturers and vault manufacturers. In some states you cannot bury someone until they have been embalmed and then you have to have a casket to hold the remains and a vault to keep the ground collapsing or the casket popping out of the ground during flooding. It's all just so they can get their hands in your wallet one last time. That is why I am heavily leaning towards cremation when I go. A## to ash and bust to dust as far as I'm concerned.
A prop lol. I wouldnt care how I go as long as when I go I did the right thing at my final moments. Whether jumping on a grenade for my Marines or taking fire getting a Marine to safety. I'm all about my Marines. Semper Fi.
Donate my body to science. Prolly gonna get some funny tattoos right before i go( if I don't get taken early) maybe an Elmer fud on my butt cheek with his gun pointed to the middle sayin " come out you mangy rabbit." Med students should get a kick out of it.
