Serious suggestion: register for the Whole Body Donation Program with the MD State Anatomy Board; must be a MD resident. They use bodies for research, higher education, and to advance medical education. Upon the registrant's death, the hospital, nursing home, doctor etc. where death occurred (has to be in state of Maryland or else you have to pay to transport to MD) call the State Board who comes and picks up body within a couple of hours of notification. On the form you state your requested disposition of ashes: will be picked up by or mailed to designated person, or they will bury in a cemetery in Sykesville, MD. My father did this and he passed last year after a short illness. Not only was he a scientist but he came from a family of teachers and my Mom and 2 of us kids were also teachers, so the opportunity to do something that benefitted both science and education strongly appealed to him. State Board called me the next day to confirm his information and I didn't hear from them again until they were finished with the body, about 9 months later and he had been cremated; when would I like to come to pick up his cremains? Cost to me/him was $0: only thing you pay for is the original death certificate and however many original copies you need for insurance, financial accounts, etc same as you would after a death. What you do with the ashes after that is up to you. YMMV

I also tell him that he'll get cremated because he absolutely does not want to get cremated. His worst fear is dying in a fire. I told him, "You'll already be dead. Or at least only alive for a few seconds."

Dogs will definitely eat a person. How do I know? I've seen evidence from such an incident while working the Property & Evidence Section for a Police Department. All that was left was a couple fingers which we have in a fridge.

See, I'm a donor. Anything anyone can use, part me out and save some lives.

I am too. But pretty sure they'll look at these parts and pass, send me directly to the cremation oven.See, I'm a donor. Anything anyone can use, part me out and save some lives.
Someone should inherit my freakishly superior immune system. Not sure how I could donate that but it would be a shame to let it go to waste.

I read a story about a guy cutting off a couple toes with his lawn mower and all but one was able to be reattached cause his dog ate one of them.
Now THAT'S a good chew toy!
yeah I NEVER got sick when I was younger .... now since my mid 40's I had suffered from psoriatic arthritis
The Parsi of India have what are known as the Towers of Silence. They place their human corpses within, letting the elements and vultures dispose of the remains.

too bad you can't share that with me
as I THOUGHT I had a great immune system all my life, then I started working in Elementary Schools, and I began getting sick over and over despite having good hygiene. OMG I can't wait for the next 2 weeks to be over and I hope I never have to go back inside a School again.
Schools are little plague factories.too bad you can't share that with me
The day the apocalypse starts, and Pestilence trots out, it'll probably be from a school.

I had the random reddish spot here and there most of my life and I never knew what it was until I was diagnosed with Psoriasis about 15 years ago. Now I also have PA and it's awful.yeah I NEVER got sick when I was younger .... now since my mid 40's I had suffered from psoriatic arthritis

I have been sick 3 to 5 times every school year. I contracted Covid 2 times so I am done.
I was a counselor in a before and after school program at a youth center at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH for a few years. I had to quit after the little plague rats gave me viral pneumonia in January 1993 and 1994.
