đđđ on Nostr: there are all sorts of interesting things you can demand be done with your corpse ...
there are all sorts of interesting things you can demand be done with your corpse after your death but basically all the fun ones will be struck out by probate courts or will be a huge burden on the executor or are way better in theory than in practice. (as much as i love the 'my estate will be distributed in proportion to the amount of my corpse eaten by each attendee at my funeral slash banquet' nobody will actually do it and if they did nobody would attend.) the best i've come up with that is likely to work is schmaltz-adjacent: 'bury my ashes and plant a fruit tree above them, which must be allowed to grow to full maturity'. but here is a freebie for you, that you might be able to pull off if your executor has a sense of humor: 'my ashes are to be placed in envelopes with no return address and mailed to my ten worst enemies, so that i may haunt them'.
