fuck thousands for a coffin. or hundreds for an urn. can i legally be burried in butcher paper?

can i donate my body to science and skip burrial all together?

i want my final action to be a big middle finger to the funeral industry picking on people in their weakest moments.

    I suspect it’s different in different countries, but things like desecrating a corpse are often illegal. I expect if you carved it up and started throwing chunks around, that would be illegal even if it’s what the deceased wanted. Probably storing the body away and not telling the authorities of the death would also be illegal

      I wonder, if you could throw the chunks around safely without sanitation issues, would it be illegal if that’s what the person wanted? Is it defiling a corpse if thats what they wanted done?
