Buried, burned or ‘breaking bad’?

When your time comes, how do you want to be disposed of?

It seems that there’s a new way to go out, coming maybe to a town near you…

The good old ‘dissolve away’ method! Why be burned and pollute the environment when you can get the full ‘make someone conveniently disappear’ treatment \o/

How ominous does this look?

I think the idea of cremation seems a little more, uh, ‘natural’ and more in keeping with the lofty ideas of ‘moving away from the world’… even though I shouldn’t really be bothered about what happens to my body!

So how do you want to go? Buried, burned or ‘breaking bad’? I guess you can also go ‘medical science’ but as noble as that is tbh I don’t really like the idea of being dissected by some hungover student

I though a jolly subject about death would really help shift those Monday morning blues.

What happens to the soup?

You know those little ‘make your own ice lolly’ trays? Apparently it’s a ‘pay extra’ option.

I mentioned this in another thread just now, the lack of burial grounds has apparently instigated the search for novel ways of rendering our dead down like a horse for glue.

I had a search just now to see what subject you brought this up under, as it wasn't immediately obvious where it would come up from a scan of recent topics.

For anyone else wondering, it turns out the context was: 'immigrants are taking up too much space and we are losing space to bury people' in the thread on the French riots.
