15 Fun Things to Do When You're Dead

The following is a list of fun things you can do when you're dead:

Modern Man Eater advertises itself as the modern burial cremation alternative. It offers to turn your body into food-grade quality vitamins to strengthen your family for years to come. They are suggesting that your family should eat you, but first they will make you into easy to take vitamins!

Donate your organs to live on in other people. Life Legacy actually wants your whole body. Your organs will go to help people and the rest will go to medical research. Whatever is left of you will be cremated and presented back to your family. The nice thing about it is that there is no cost for any of it, and your family will not be stuck paying funeral expenses.

Have your body recycled into hundreds of pencils, and get a nice parting gift for your family.

You can have letters sent out to everyone you know after you have died. My Last Letter lets you write them all ahead of time and have them sent out a few weeks after you pass away. May be a little traumatizing for your friends and family, but they'll get over it.

This may seem a little unconventional, but you can have your body preserved by a taxidermist so your family will never have to say goodbye. This is really a great idea if you normally spend a lot of time on your computer or in front of the TV. They can actually just sit you on the couch or in front of the computer and it will be as if you never left!

Get plastinated. Donate your body to the Institute of Plastination and travel all around the world. Your body will be on public display to help people learn more about anatomy.

If you are cremated you can have your ashes tossed in your favorite place. The ocean, forest or perhaps even Disneyland would be nice.

Have your DNA combined with a tree.

Spend all your life insurance money on a big party at your funeral. You could have go go dancers, celebrity appearances and a big water slide.

Have a portrait painted with your own ashes at ashes to portraits.

Make a statement about the environment by having a green funeral. Complete with biodegradable coffin, trees planted at burial site and no embalming fluid allowed.

OK, this one is really gross. But this company offers to make a memorial bottle of wine with your blood in it.

You could have your body frozen by Alcor. You will stay frozen at their facility based out of Scottsdale, Arizona. If you are lucky they will resuscitate you sometimes in the future. You may wake up in 2090 to a new world!

Support a cause. Take out a large life insurance policy and donate it all to your favorite charity after your death.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, or in this case diamonds may be a girl. Let Life Gem turn you into a diamond after death.
