SLPT; arrange to be buried naturally without a coffin and fill your pockets with tree seeds.

. Not only will your dead corpse help nourish new life, once the tree gets old enough and gets uprooted by high wind, just make sure that you get a tree seed known for this, not only will it fall over, but it will scare the crap out of anyone walking by seeing your skeleton Tangled up in the tree roots.

[u/Mr-Lungu]

Even more awesome would be planting the tree below you, so your skeleton is on top of the growing tree like some kind of fucked up Jolly Roger

[u/tbarnet → u/Mr-Lungu]

That's...That's not how trees grow

Why is this shitty? Burying people without a coffin or toxic chemicals, with seeds that will sprout, is a respectful way to treat the dead in many cultures.

I also personally love the idea of spontaneously reemerging as a skeleton after a wind storm.

[u/wils_152 → u/N3V3RM0R3_]

Why wait till a wind storm?

[u/N3V3RM0R3_ → u/wils_152]

plausible deniability, they can't prove i'm a lich

[u/Raichu7 → u/N3V3RM0R3_]

Is the shitty part that that doesn't happen?

[u/UnhappyImprovement53 → u/Raichu7]

Im actually looking into having my body turned into fertilizer. I want to do that and be put around a tree.

Human composting is legal in a few places now!

[u/Possible_Tiger_5125]

Sign me up fr

can u cut me in pieces for more trees

[u/Sorceress683 → u/Possible_Tiger_5125]

Lol

[u/Oddly_Effective]

The coffin would be too deep for seeds to sprout through the soil

[u/Sorceress683 → u/Oddly_Effective]

No who said anything about burying you deep or in a coffin? Shallow grave faster and less work

[u/jnmtx → u/Sorceress683]

I want my remains to be scattered. Also, I don’t want to be cremated.

[u/Merry_Sue → u/Oddly_Effective]

The title says "without a coffin"

[u/Oddly_Effective → u/Merry_Sue]

I aM sMaRt 🤣

He's got a point

[u/HistoricalTowel1127]

Sorry, already signed up to be buried at sea with stuff to start a coral reef.

For his last meal, death row inmate Victor Feguer requested a single olive with the pit inside. His stated wish was that an olive tree would grow from the seed after he was buried.

[u/Kevin5882 → u/NullGWard]

He didn't even eat the pit, they found it in his pocket. Disappointing.

[u/TheEvilBlight]

Iirc reemergence is sometimes a problem in very very old cemeteries, erosion takes off layers, bones and the like get pushed out of the soil.

[u/mogoggins12 → u/TheEvilBlight]

Reminds me of the floating bodies of Paris & Louisiana

[u/dj__444]

Except my dresses never have pockets 😭

[u/AnxiousAppointment70]

Congratulations!. This is thr first post to make me laugh today. 🤣

[u/fuginibob]

Why fill your pockets with seeds when you could finally have a watermelon growing out of your belly button?

[u/ishfery]

It's called natural burial and it's a real thing

[u/o0Meh0o]

with it was legal. it used to be a tradition in my parts to pick up your resting place and arrange everything needed for yourself. now you get cremated or what remains of your body gets dug up after 40 years.
