I have never understood why people make so much work and waste around dead carcasses. When it is time for me to die and I am able, I want to get myself onto one of the hills around here. I want the condors, coyotes, and other creatures to have a good meal. Threatened animals are fed and my family has zero bills to pay. I know it is illegal, but go ahead and arrest my dead body.

Also known as a sky burial in parts of central Asia.
Don’t forget about the towers of silence in Zoroastrianism.
Put me in a hole in the ground but skip the coffin. Worms need to eat, too! And that way no one will stumble across my decaying corpse.
That is how most muslims are buried, no coffin just a simple cloth
What about dental or breast implants? Or pacemakers?
Some lucky person will get my gold fillings. Those are my only implants.
