Do you want your ashes to be planted as a tree?

So what does NS think of this...

Apparently after you die you can put your ashes in this biodegradable urn that will use the nutrients from your ashes to grow a tree. You apparently can pick what kind of tree you want planted (not so sure about that).

There are a few companies that do this apparently...

If my friends were down I'd like to be tossed on different mountains, in the oceans, wherever. If not just dump me off a mountain somewhere.

The last thing I want is to take up real estate in some fucking graveyard with an expensive piece of stone that says some bullshit about me and that I'm rotting below.

i spread some of my mothers ashes under a birch tree we planted for her, as well as in Turnbull NWR where she used to work. i dont really see it as being much different than having a tombstone of sorts.

No. I want to have my life's story tattooed onto my body then have my corpse catapulted into outerspace where it will be a floating memorial to my greatness.

I'd much rather be mixed with a plastic to create a dildo.

when I die I would rather become a cyborg or something cool like that. I imagine that by the time I die we will have the science stuff all figured out.

I'd like to be frozen and sent off into space. Hopefully aliens would find me, resurrect me and create a religion in which I was God. That would be so chyll.
