Have a DNR (under certain conditions), medical advocacy, the power of attorney, et.al.. Last trip to the Dr., I had her sign myself as a university med school cadaver, then cremated (at their cost). At first my wishes were to be released on a breezy day on a drive to my favorite mountain nirvana. Then asked if I could be used (cremains) in a compost. (As long as it's stated in my wishes).
I'm not one for visiting cemeteries as I mentally converse with all departed family and friends. Annually, I pull weeds, rake in red bark mulch on my grandmother, aunts and uncle in a non perpetual country ranching area cemetery. All others are in an perpetual cemetery or urn wall, or the National cemetery.
So, either wind carrying me, or mixed with a great soil mix, that's my intention. The med school will hopefully learn a bit once my body is donated.
I told friends and family alike, when I've passed on, play your favorite music, eat your favorite food, and toast me with a libation or a hit.
