I plan on having a cremation, no religious ceremony, and then about $5,000 towards one big buffet with lots of food and non alcoholic drinks. If people want to say or do stuff, let em. Otherwise they can all have a fun get together and some food on me.

I had an elderly old friend of mine years ago put it to me this way .....

I really don't care what you guys do, you know why? I won't be there.

My father just passed in January. He was adamant that we not have a funeral for him. He said there was no point in wasting all that money to shove his body in a hole and leave it there. Instead, he signed up to donate his body to science. As soon as he passed, I called a phone number on a card in his wallet and they came and claimed his body. That was it. Whenever they finish whatever research they're doing, they'll cremate his remains and return them.

He said, if we really wanted, we could hold a "celebration of life" for him. Just a small barbeque with friend and family to remember him by. He just asked that his favorite beer was left sitting at an empty chair for him.

John Oliver did an episode about body donations. I suggest a watch.

I actually wouldn't suggest this episode to someone whose father's body is currently donated. But good episode nonetheless

Yeah, I understand, and did consider that. But.. it's better to be aware, surely, so there's something to be done.

I seriously considered not posting it, but... decided to anyway.
