One of my last posts on 4chan before I cease to interact with these anon web platforms.

"Big funeral" (greedy minority in funeral industry) makes massive profit off of mark ups and up sells on emotionally valued items, such as more expensive caskets, perhaps of a special wood, metal, or comfort. They even market caskets you are burned in, so that things are nicer and comfier (pillows) when you go to ashes.

Big funeral does not like green burials. Green burials are cheaper, use simple wood containers, and are... Green.

Green burials also have a naturalistic appeal that many will like, as well as competitive rates, even to cremations.

Keep things unnatural as possible to make more money. Make people find bleak value in fake, shallow things, versus the real deal (pussy, earth, sunlight, etc).

It's almost like unnecessary regulations on burying a family member in a backyard created the problem

They hate everything, water burials too. And they get angry when people advocate for more alternatives.

I just want wild animals to scavenge my carcass. My skull can be kept as a funky tableweight or piece of home decor if necessary.

It's to differentiate known deaths from undiscovered murder/suicide victims

>as well as competitive rates

Why would it even have a rate at all

It costs me nothing but time to dig a hole in the woods

I mentioned this a few years ago. Same post, verbatim:

My culture still uses ossuaries, though the tradition is slowly dying out due to the costs of allowing a body to decay naturally and collecting and washing the bones after so cremation has become more commonplace. Certain religious groups don't allow cremation so despite its growing popularity, I don't think our traditional burial and bone collection will ever go away completely.
The weirdest thing, those who opt for cremation still put the ashes into a fucking ossuary, go figure. Our family crypt is full of ossuaries dating back hundreds of years and one collection of ashes: my mother's.
So that's fun.
I think this anti-traditional burial thing is mostly an Anglo problem.
Chatgpt has this to add about our "grave leasing"/"grave recycling" system, as foreigners derisively call it:
>Exhumation and relocation
When graves are reused, older remains may be:

• Transferred to an ossuary (“cappella delle ossa” style), where bones are stored for a family crypt
• Relocated to smaller containers (like boxes or urns) collectively with other remains
• Composted or reburied in another plot, depending on local law and tradition

This is common in urban cemeteries where space is tight.
So there you have it.

I suppose there's also risk of legal battles if other relatives of the deceased want to visit the grave, and/or subsequent owners want to develop the land
>>
in all of human history the rules of burying a body were heavily regulated, don't act like this is some kind of a new development
>>
I don’t want a funeral. Just want my ashes spread in the ocean at a quiet undeveloped beach

The problem with green burial is that there is so many of us now, we'll fill up the woods with grave markers...and if there is no markers, somebody could think it's a serial killer's handy work and you clog up some CSI's caseload. I thought about having my body thrown out to the sea, no wraps, and let the fishes eat me, but other than legality, practically one of my foot could end up on a Vancouver beach and cause drama.

So I think the greenest body disposal option we have now is "water cremation", which is legally available in Canada, instead of burning the body which require a lot of fuel and create air pollution, the body is melted with heat and chemicals, like lye, I think they move the fluids around to speed up the pressure, take longer than fire and there would be more cremains:

>Alkaline hydrolysis (also called biocremation, resomation,[1][2] flameless cremation,[3] aquamation[4] or water cremation[5]) is a process for the disposal of human and animal remains using lye and heat; it is an alternative to burial, cremation, or sky burial.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cremation
> Desmond Tutu, former Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, was aquamated, per his wish.[20]

that is such an insane leap of logic, you should try using your own brain

Personally, I've always wanted to be laid on an elevated slab of rock to be picked over by birds, but that's so obviously going to be illegal in the US I haven't even bothered looking it up.

>>5106577
don't know what turd world country you live in but here in the west we typically call the police when we find dead bodies
>>
>>5106632
even though it guarantees your own arrest?
retard

>>5106634
i made the assumption that it'd be workers other than the owner that make the discovery. if it were the owner to contact them first, you'd probably have the leeway to explain that you're a new landowner and you had absolutely no idea about this nor were you told. even if you get arrested, the police would most likely see you had nothing to do with it pretty fast and just let you go.
retard.

turn the bodies into cat food

move to india if you want a sky burial

I actually want a green burial or more specifically having my body turned into fertilizer with a tree planted on top. I want to sustain life that isn't maggots.

>>5106878
I said picked over by birds, not wild dogs in a gutter.

You should at least make the grave movable if you're going to do that.
