You never see these meme quality ads with a € or £ price… its always $
That’s because America is Ferenginar.
Quark: I think I figured out why Humans don’t like Ferengi.
Sisko: Not now, Quark.
Quark: The way I see it, Humans used to be a lot like Ferengi: greedy, acquisitive, interested only in profit. We’re a constant reminder of a part of your past you’d like to forget.
Sisko: Quark, we don’t have time for this.
Quark: You’re overlooking something. Humans used to be a lot worse than the Ferengi: slavery, concentration camps, interstellar wars. We have nothing in our past that approaches that kind of barbarism. You see? We’re nothing like you… we’re better.

Caskets really need some design updates. They look so depressing.
Bury me in this:
Hmm why aren’t RGB coffins a legit thing? These casket makers need to get with the times and understand their audience lol
I want butt heating and cup holders.
Those targeted ads aren’t messing around
Edit: Personally I’ve already got an urn picked out for me. A probably too large coffee can of my favorite coffee brand.
I’d prefer it not get used for my ashes for at least a few more decades though.
Is there a Ralphs nearby?
Come on, man. Fuck it. Let’s go bowling.
Cremation. Tubes for ashes. Instructions to friends and family where to toss me and maybe plant a tree.
I want my remains spread at the happiest place on Earth, Disneyland.
Also, I don’t want to be cremated.
The final yeeeeeeet
My grandpa handmade his coffin with some really nice walnut. Quilted the inside I believe. He’s still kicking, so it gets used as a prop at Halloween
Sky burial. Just chop me up and feed me to the vultures
Sky burial. Throw me out of an airplane.
Sky burial. Throw me in a wood chipper.
We probably gonna wait till you’re dead but fine
My dream is to die with absolutely nothing but massive bank debt. I have no living relatives, so there is no one to get the money from. I mean, “Hello Mr. Twat you have terminal cancer” next stop is the bank to take out the biggest loan my excellent credit will let me get. Tom Selleck the house go to Vegas bet it all on black until it’s gone return home and burn the house down around me fuck the bank…a boy can dream lol
Legally give a homeless person ownership of the house
That’s a better, less petty idea but the bank would just take it from them.
I’d totally do this if I had no family
Having a family is a solvable problem.
I mean I could get rid of them I suppose, but others put up with worse.
Just throw me in the trash.
Just take that $22 per month and invest it instead. You’d come out on top
What can you invest with $22 per month (or $264 per year) that’s actually turned a noticable profit? Even at 10% return you’d be looking at $26.4 gain per year.
That is essentially what this company is doing. They are investing your money until you die
Hit me up when you die and I’ll set you up a wooden box for $22 straight up, just a once time payment.
Costco sells caskets. Seriously. Order one online on the cheap.
Best part? They have multiple (positive) reviews.
who is leaving those reviews? satisfied customers? Is internet access available to Costco customers after death?
You get to keep them before you die. I’m assuming people have em in their garage and lay in them to test them out.
Reddit is desperate for ads.
Graveyards are a waste of space & good land. Land is for the living. Cremation is the way; it is clean, responsible, & considerate.
Clean? I would have said burial was more environmentally friendly.
If they didn’t pump the bodies full of toxic chemicals and store them indefinitely in a piece of furniture, maybe.
Good points.
I will specify organs donated and Eco friendly coffin without embalming.
I’m leaning towards one of those fungus suits, hopefully with a mango tree planted atop.
. I’d rather be harvested for any useful organs if I have any left healthy enough to save someone, then the rest of me thrown in some kind of corpse compost or bio reactor or something.

For every person like you there may be a person like me that couldn’t care less to visit a grave. I can remember my fallen ones from anywhere.
Don’t want to sound callous but if you’re dead you’re dead to me too, like it’s a part of life. Just accept it and move on. I’m gonna die one day whoop whoop.
Maybe as a compromise, then, the people who care can do the thing and the people who don’t don’t have to?
Sure, but if the argument is that graveyards take to much valuable space that could be used to house living humans.
Perhaps people should keep ashes in their own gardens etc and you can alsways go and do the things you do.
To be transparent, this isn’t something I have given a lot of thought to until I saw this thread.
I doubt they really take up that much. Arent they usually out of the way anyway?
Suppose so, I feel like they’re pretty low on the list of land we could reclaim tho. Would rather go after golf courses first for example
Oh I agree that golf courses would be a priority. The same for office blocks where people can work from home.
I’m with mark twain on golf, it’s a good walk spoiled 😂
Something I think I’ve seen in movies (mostly ones implied to be ancient japan) is a family grave. A single pillar driven into the ground with the family name and then everyone is cremated or something. Notable individuals for the family get a pillar next to it, but this could be a solution as first world countries reach the point where space is a premium. This allows families to mourn recently, and not-so-recently deceased.
Cyberpunk has the Columbariums - huge columns of thousands of cremated individuals, with a digital display for your Epitaph and name
That sounds like a possible solution and pretty cool too tbh.
There are composting options now I think.
I’d like my ashes to go into a firework and be spread out all over my local area. Go out with a bang!
Better buy one now before they’re subscription only.
Death will be a subscription
It is, Grave plots are temporary.
