This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Look and see if your state has at home Burial services. If they do tell them you want to bury the body at home and you do not want it embalmed. Then buy an absolute fuck ton of Dermestid beetles online. Then, get ready for the horrid smell as they eat the flesh off of your father's rotting corpse over the course of a year or more.

Didn't we have a community for unethical life pro tips? This comment would be a perfect post there.

I don't see what is unethical about it.

It's probably not what his father wanted

Well he should have considered that before dying. Its about personal responsibility.

We don't know that, and imo that hardly matters now as they are dead and never coming back. They no longer have wants, needs, or feelings.

put it in the will or enlist it to a trusted family member, those are the two options you have to deal with this problem.

will is a limited immortal version of the dead person, you can only ask them questions about their death
"put it in the will" is because back in the 70s the will could only read paper slips
will is a shortened form of william, the first man to never die (in 1683)

to clarify, that's not their birth date
