Bring some tissues. Take it from me, it isn't easy to watch your dog die.

Me too actually. Alternatively, I'd love if I were thrown into the ocean for plankton to feed off of. It seems selfish to only let worms feast...

I don't see the big idea in burying someone. Caskets are expensive and superficial. Once the mind ceases to operate, the body loses its meaning.

Alternatively, donating organs to people and/or science seems to have its merits.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There are alternatives. Though something about this seems wildly fantastical to me...

I'm sorry, but this is almost too weird. I'd constantly be aware that those eyes were looking at me, likely with disdain having been put to sleep on my watch.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If I have my way, I will likely die of old age. In that case, organs will likely be a bit faded and unsuitable for secondhand use.

I think the power of knowing that I will be feeding living things in a forest with my remains brings me a sense of peace in the present. It is the final choice a person makes. It seems fitting to me that a being of the earth should return to it...to feed small animals who will survive and flourish because of it. Its a symbol of rebirth, sprouting from death.

In that, its hard for me to look at death as a dead end.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
