Volunteer Your Whole Body For A Free Funeral: Google Medcure

Recommended Posts

ty.  my dad knew about medcure, but demanded to be buried whole, unsinged, in a casket beside mom, my mother, and it consumed $15.5K to put him there in the way he'd directed be done....in a medium-grade 500-year-seal casket (the casket grade he'd signed for at a local funeral directors).  the estate was solvent and paying the bill, which was deducted from the survivors--ahem, from our inheritance.  

would we have shown more love if we upgraded from the casket he'd specified, to, say, a 1,000 year seal casket within a 4,000 year lead sleeve and buried that in cement?  and spent $buzookus$ and zeroed out the estate?

that's ridiculous, like any attempt to prevent the decay of a freshly shaved, coiffed and rouged corpse is absolutely zany and so squirrelly egyptian... 

so after i'm dead, my body will go to a local funeral home where medcure will pick up my body and transport to the u of oregon medical school, which will use my body in medical research... burning the left-overs and sending my ashes overnight and to the next of kin i have specified.  I, in ash form, will hit the back garden in michigan about 6 weeks after i died.  the guy who opens the package has promised to grow plushberry in me.  and then smoke me in summer in a high grade glass bong with ice.  

free, and future-better-medicine for my survivors and wise disposal/ recycling of me.

One can't hope for more than that? Why does anyone want their earthly remains sealed in concrete for a thousand years or more? And for what? Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Just let your remains become dirt. With 5+ billion people living on the earth today, in our time a billion people will die. That's a lot of dead people. My 13 y/o daughter told me that when she dies she wants her body cast into the woods so scavengers can feed off it, and her cells will become part of the ecosystem. Who needs a monument or head stone? My 15 y/o son wants to be buried in a field with an oak tree planted over his unmarked grave. When my come times to die, I'll be done with my body. Who knows what comes after?

Good lookin out Pic!

 

My body goes to Michigan State University for student study.

 

I am also an organ donor and when I die, if my Cornea are still good (I hope to live to be 100+ :D )

then the Cornea Bank gets those pronto.

 

I feel that if in my death my body can help another or help teach someone who will then help others,

my life has come full circle and is just the final way I can give back.

 

I do not believe in all the greed attached to the inevitable and despise funeral homes and the false

sympathy... oh just everything about the whole "traditional" process... it reeks.  Making money from

peoples grief is a despicable practice.

I also believe that the land, often prime land used to bury the dead is a misuse of land when there

are so many living that are homeless. bah.

 

I did however cave to family pressure and bought a plot and stone next to my mother :blush:

 

Anyone wanna buy a cemetery plot & stone cheap?

Ah, I might just donate it to the 1st. family member who passes and have MSU hold the celebration of life

and put me in their plot.  I would rather have my ashes spread in the woods but can't be sure anyone will be around to do so.

Is this one of those pesky "Spoonerism" things?
